The 94th National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men’s basketball tournament is already in the horizon and this early San Beda University is already anticipating a bumpy ride to the coveted title.
Red Lions head coach Boyet Fernandez revealed winning their third straight crown won’t be easy as the rest of the field is capable of giving them a serious run for their money.
Looming as top title contender is Lyceum of the Philippines University, the squad that swept the 18-game eliminations only to falter down the stretch due to its lack of finals experience.
This year, the Pirates appear solid after ruling the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) D-League and the Philippine Collegiate Champions League.
Fernandez also cited new-look Letran College as well as host University of Perpetual Help Dalta System, which will be mentored by former San Beda coach Frankie Lim.
