San Sebastian cling on to their winning streak

With only a few games left until the NCAA Final four, The San Sebastian Stags cling on to maintain their spotless record. But it won't be an easy road ahead for the Stags. They yet have to face defending champion San Beda Red Lions and number two seed Letran Knights. The Stags is set to face the Knights on September 30, the Pirates on Oct 5, 2011 and the Lions on October 12

The Sebastian Stags is just coming off a 3 point win against the MIT Cardinals last September 16. Are they showing signs of exhaustion or has the Cardinals improve significantly? I guess we will just have to see if the Stags could complete the sweep the way San Beda did last year. If they do become successful, they would enjoy a good rest while waiting for the 2nd to 4th seed to battle it out for the right to go to the finals. Any team who is undefeated after the two elimination rounds would still have to meet the challenger on a best of three championship series. A few years back the first seed would enjoy a twice to beat advantage in the Finals.

The defending champions San Beda Red Lions is showing signs of exhaustion as the Bombers surprised everyone by beating the Lions last September 14 with and score of 76 to 65 favoring JRU. Losing Sudan Daniels due to injury this season is taxing to San Beda's bid to retain the title this year. San Beda is yet to meet College of St. Benilde on September 28, Letran on October 7 and San Sebastian on October 12.

Letran has been doing great this season. Only losing 2 games during the first round against San Beda and Sebastian. With only 3 games left this season, Letran could end up with a 14-4 win loss standing if they fail to win against the Stags and Lions.  Letran is set to face the stags on September 30, the Blazers on October 3 and the Lions on October 7.
