Arellano University’s basketball team secured a crucial victory against Lyceum on Saturday in the NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball tournament. The game, held in Manila, saw Arellano’s JL Capulong delivering an unexpected and impressive performance with a 30-point outing. This remarkable feat played a significant role in the Chiefs’ 91-86 win over the Pirates.

Capulong’s contribution was pivotal for Arellano, who were struggling at the lower end of the standings. The team’s position made the win particularly important as they fought to improve their season’s record. Capulong, often not the main scorer for his team, found himself stepping up in this game, showcasing his skills and determination. His performance was described as being “a man among boys,” highlighting his dominance on the court.

The game started with Lyceum taking an early lead. However, Capulong’s consistent scoring helped Arellano close the gap and eventually surpass their opponents. Capulong’s performance did not just come in the form of points. His defensive skills were also on full display, with several rebounds that prevented Lyceum from capitalizing on their scoring opportunities. His all-around contribution was instrumental in breaking the Pirates’ defense.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team willing to give up without a fight. The crowd witnessed a thrilling contest as both teams displayed high levels of competitiveness and determination. Arellano’s victory was also supported by key plays from other team members. Their coordinated efforts ensured that the pressure was not solely on Capulong’s shoulders.

Coach Cholo Martin of Arellano praised Capulong’s performance, stating that his player’s hard work and dedication during practice had paid off. Martin expressed his satisfaction with the team’s overall performance and emphasized the importance of maintaining their momentum for the remainder of the season. He highlighted that the win was not only crucial for their standings but also for boosting the team’s morale.

Lyceum, on the other hand, struggled to contain Capulong and Arellano’s offense. Despite a strong start, the Pirates fell short in the final quarters. Their efforts to counter Arellano’s surge were hampered by missed shots and defensive lapses. Lyceum’s coach acknowledged the challenge posed by Capulong’s unexpected dominance, pledging to regroup and focus on improving their defensive strategies in future games.
