Stags, Altas dispute Final Four slot

MANILA, Philippines — San Sebastian seeks to cling to its place in the magic four while Perpetual Help aims to snatch it away as the two take on each other in the 93rd NCAA basketball tournament at the FilOil Flying-V Centre in San Juan City Tuesday.

Behind Michael Calisaan’s strong offensive game, the Stags blasted the Emilio Aguinaldo Generals, 88-69, Friday to jump into joint fourth with the Letran Knights on 5-5 (win-loss) records but the Altas, who are just a game behind with a 4-6 mark, hope to spoil the fun when they face off at 4 pm

And San Sebastian coach Egay Macaraya knows they’re in for a tough fight.

“As was our weakness, we have no import so we just have to make with what we’re strong at, which is running and outside shooting,” said Macaraya.

Truly, Perpetual Help boast of Nigerian Prince Eze, the league’s leading MVP candidate who dropped 21 points and 19 rebounds in an 88-82 overtime triumph over Letran Thursday.
