FOUR-peat champion San Beda College Red Lions proved their mastery over the Mapua Institute of Technology Cardinals with a 74-69 win on Wednesday at the start of the second round elimination of the 90th National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball tournament at The Arena in San Juan City.

The Red Lions established a 22-point lead early in the fourth quarter en route to their eighth win in 10 matches. San Beda has now regained solo leadership but the Arellano University Chiefs, which were still playing at press time can also gain share of the top spot if they win against the San Sebastian College Stags.
