(UPDATE) SAN Beda University on Sunday held off Mapua University 71-65 in Game Two of the NCAA Season 99 men's basketball finals to force a winner-take-all showdown. A massive turnout of 22,465 fans packed the Mall of Asia Arena as the Red Lions extended the finals series after dropping the first game. The last bucket of the fourth-quarter surge was a Yukien Andrada trey that gave the Red Lions a 70-63 advantage with 2:21 left. We just wanted to replicate what we did today, I told them, 'let's go all out'," said San Beda head coach Yuri Escueta. But San Beda fired back with a 9-0 blast anchored on Cortez's two triples that sandwiched a James Payosing bucket with 3:11 to play.
