SAN Beda College Red Lions depended on Ola Adeogun, Baser Amer and Arthur de la Cruz’ combined 12 points in the crucial stretch to win over previously unbeaten Arellano University Chiefs on Saturday in the 90th National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball tournament at The San Juan Arena in San Juan City.

Adeodun, Amer and De la Cruz led a rally to stop the Chiefs’ charge that reduced the gap to only three-points, 75-78 with just over two minutes remaining. The blitz by the deadly trio moved the Red Lions to a safer distance, 88-81, before De la Cruz scored the final point to secure their fourth straight win.
