Pumped-up Stags seek win No. 10



MANILA, Philippines - San Sebastian, buoyed up by its victory over arch rival San Beda, goes for win No. 10 as it takes on unfancied Emilio Aguinaldo today at the start of the second round elims in the 87th NCAA men’s basketball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.

Drawing strength from the prolific duo of Ronald Pascual and Calvin Abueva, the Stags humbled the San Beda Lions in a pulsating 70-68 victory last Friday in a duel of unbeaten teams as they completed a nine-game first round sweep.
The win also snapped the defending champions’ stirring 26-game run that included a historic 18-game sweep for the crown last season.

San Sebastian coach Topex Robinson said their first round sweep was just the first half of the battle.

Gametime is at 4 p.m.
