Game was over in the first half. San Beda OWNS Letran big time in Game 3. It's called Championship poise and experience. San Beda has that being in the finals for the past 7 consecutive years, winning 6 of them. Letran has the talent and definitely hungry after they smelled blood in game 2 but in the end, their lack of experience was very glaring.
Nalula ang Letran sa dami ng naka blue. Tingin ko mas madami ang naka blue shirt lalo sa patron. I even saw Chavit Singson but he left after the first half. Clearly, the pressure was too much for the Letran players to handle. Except for Mark Cruz, the rest of the players including Alas were either shooting bricks, making hurried shots or turnovers.
San Beda, on the other hand, played like a well oiled machine. Offense and defense clicked. Parang bale wala ang game 3. Again, championship experience.
Sweet 17 indeed. Congratulations to San Beda. And Letran was a formidable opponent. At least nabuhay ulit and rivalry!
