It was a crowded Ormoc City superdome on the final day of the PCC Zone 3 elimination round. It started with an exhibition game between the ACLC Titans and the BIT-CT Cruisers were the Cruisers won, 99-97.
The battle for 3rd featured the West Negros University Mustangs against the University of Cebu Webmasters.
The Mustangs immediately took the driver seat in the 1st half, 39-31. The Webmasters then took the lead with a 3:04 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, 50-51. The Mustangs managed to keep the game close but lost their composure in the end game.
The Mustangs were led by Jeff Jacinto 14 points and 4 Rebounds followed by Virgelio Dapar with 10 Points and Briton Javelona with 10 points and 3 Steals to his credit.
The Webmasters had a double – double contribution from none other than Junemar Fajardo with 29 Points, 22 Rebs, and 5 Blocked Shots followed by Janssen Abella with 22 Points and Kelvin Juliani with 12 Points.
In the main event of the evening, the Letran Knights experienced an unfamiliar situation in the tournament – they were behind the USJ-R Jaguars since the start - until the 3rd quarter, 58-63.
In the 4th Quarter, the Knights tied the game at 82-all with 12.4 seconds left in regulation.  Letran’s Regin Ranises committed an unnecessary foul on the Jaguars’ Mannie Gabas but failed to convert on both free throw attempts. With 9 seconds left, Letran’s RJ Jazul was the likely hero as he converted on a jumper with no time to spare. The final score, 84-82 in favor of Letran.
RJ Jazul had 14 points to lead the Knights with Dino Daa and Jam Cortes contributing 11 points each. Ranulfo Malinao led the Jaguars with 22 points followed by Luther Justiniani with 20 points and 7 rebounds and Mannie Gabas with 17 points and 6 rebounds.
The Letran Knights and the USJ-R Jaguars will advance to the sweet 16 round. Letran will face San Sebastian College – Recoletos Cavite while the USJ-R Jaguars will face current NCAA Champion – the San Beda Red Lions.

@waray diha
O i see. Anyway, its her opinion… But instead of saying that UAAP is No.1 compared to the NCAA, why dont you just lift your own league? Siyempre may mga magrereact sayo dito na NCAA member school when you say UAAP is no.1 compared to NCAA… Of course, magpapa daig ba ang mga NCAA member school, i don’t think so..

@racer_sebastianista ok point taken, but what i said din nung nauna is a reaction also sa sinabi nya,
same as your reaction nung nabasa mo ung post ko, siguro i just wanted her to feel that also.
Sabagay dapat talaga patigasan ng balat dito, ill try to ignore her next time.
Peace! By the way Goodluck sa SSCR vs Letran, SSCR from Cavite i believe is from the NAASCU league, hope they can follow STI’s finish last year or malagpasan pa, Good Luck to all the Teams!
GO CEBU TEAMS in the Sweet 16!
USJR “JAGUARS”

nya ha ha! I dont care what you saying in this article. Number 1 ka ng number 1 ka dyan. DOnt say na wla me respeto sa ibang team, I;ve been in JRU and when JRU defeated us in the Championship, I’am the first one who accept our defeat. It isnt right to say the UAAP is number 1 league, coz u so hated what I said at tignan mo may natamaan. Look at may opinions I never drag any names from you. If you think you really hurt to what I said, better not to read my opinions.
Another thing, you dont impost respect to us, earn it first

Now, Im right. I said this before to those southern team who support your USJ-R Jaguars. You prove nothing, you trying to impost to me that I should respect your team. How could I respect them? If they never have a chance to match up to our reigning 3-peat NCAA Champions, the San Beda College Red Lions?
I said this before, respect have to be “EARNED†and “NOT TO IMPOST IT!â€Â. In your dreams that the you southern team will go up the Final? Ang Tayog naman.
No don’t even know coach Franky Lim of San Beda is watching your team already during your match in CESAFI(tama ba yung type ko?). Almost to defeat Letran in wildcard is not enough to much up on our NCAA team.
Another thing, sa mga tatamaan bahala kayo kung ano ang gusto nyung sabihin sa akin, i really don’t care. Im just saying the facts, and not hoax of dreaming anything.
peace.
Mabuhay Rizal!
