2 San Beda (16-2), third seed Jose Rizal U (11-7) and any from San Sebastian, Arellano U or Letran. Nzeusseu hit a key shot to force the first OT then teamed up with Perez in the second extra period to carry the Pirates past the Lions to a perfect 18-0 record. Through all the challenges and controversies, Lyceum coach Topex Robinson and the Pirates kept their cool and stayed focused on the task at hand. Overshadowed by the Pirates’ historic feat was San Sebastian’s 80-60 rout of Perpetual Help in the other game that gave the Stags a shot at the last Final Four berth. With a 9-9 slate, San Sebastian tied Letran and Arellano for No.
