The College of St. Benilde Blazers made a significant comeback in the NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball tournament by defeating the San Beda Red Lions 79-63 in the semifinals, after losing two crucial preliminary games, thus securing their place in the finals against Mapua.

The game took place at the Cuneta Astrodome in Manila, where the Blazers displayed a dominant performance from the start. The team showcased their offensive prowess, led by their key players who executed their plays to perfection. The Blazers were determined to turn the tide and reclaim their winning form, which had been absent during the last two games of the preliminary round.

San Beda Red Lions, known for their strong defense, were overwhelmed by the Blazers’ aggressive gameplay. The Red Lions struggled to keep up with the Blazers’ tempo and efficient shooting. Despite their efforts to close the gap, San Beda could not match the intensity and accuracy displayed by Benilde.

Benilde’s victory was not just due to their offensive strategy. Their defense was also pivotal in restricting San Beda’s scoring opportunities. The team maintained pressure on the Red Lions, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on their mistakes. This comprehensive approach on both ends of the floor was instrumental in securing their semifinal win.

The triumph over San Beda is significant for Benilde as it marks their first appearance in the NCAA finals in recent years. This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of the players and coaching staff. The team’s coach praised the players for their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and discipline in achieving success.
