With the National Collegiate Athletic Association Season 95 Seniors Basketball Tournament entering the deep waters, Jaycee Marcelino needed to gut it out for Lyceum.
Days before their virtual battle for the second-seed with Letran, the Pirates’ senior guard was stricken with flu and was unable to join practices.
But that was not an excuse for Marcelino to miss a game.
“It’s about living in the moment, no excuses. Like Jaycee, he only returned yesterday after sitting out five days of practice,” said Lyceum head coach Topex Robinson. “He played his heart out today and that’s a testament to the dedication of this kid to this team.”
Despite not getting any practice behind him and almost losing his legs early, the 23-year-old two-way force made sure to lead the Pirates, finishing with 25 points spiked by five triples to go along with two rebounds, two steals, and an assist.
