Perfect Pirates put on a show against Heavy Bombers
Lyceum of the Philippines University was supposedly heading into its toughest stretch in the NCAA 93 Men’s Basketball Tournament.
And yet, even up against already playoff-bound Jose Rizal University on Friday at the Filoil Flying V Centre, the Pirates made it look easy.
Everybody from CJ Perez to Spencer Pretta was on-point as the league-leaders stamped their class on the once flying high Heavy Bombers, 100-63.
The win was LPU’s 17th in as many games, keeping it at the top spot ahead of a much-awaited matchup with defending champion San Beda College.
The Pirates imposed their will from the get-go and outscored their opponents for all of the four quarters. “We came to play. We came to honor the game and we will play how we always play,” a beaming head coach Topex Robinson said.
It took until the final frame, however, for the match to turn into a mismatch. “You always want to be at your best. Whether we are up by 20 or down by 20, we will always play the same,” Robinson said.
