MANILA – Robert Bolick drained a go-ahead triple as San Beda Red Lions claimed the 2017 Fil-Oil Flying V Premier Cup championship with a 75-72 win over De La Salle University Green Archers.
The reigning NCAA men’s basketball titlist won the finals Sunday night at the San Juan Arena in style — they finished the tournament with an unblemished 11-0 win-loss record, duplicating the feat of the dethroned Green Archers.
At 72-all following a game-tying triple by teammate Amiel Soberano, Bolick pushed his team forward with a 3-pointer over the defense of Santi Santillan with 8.5 seconds remaining.
Bolick — a former Green Archer — finished with 24 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
Ilonggo Clint Doliguez also made a showing for Red Lions by converting crucial baskets in the final quarter that erased Green Archers’ 7-point lead.
“I loved the way they played today. We were up, we were down. But everybody stepped up. It’s really the trust and confidence in our system,” said Red Lions head coach Teodorico Fernandez III.
It was a see-saw battle from the start until La Salle pulled a 49-42 lead in the third frame. But San Beda went on a run behind Doliguez and Kemark Carino to snatch the lead 62-59 early in the final frame.
San Beda were still ahead 69-65 when La Salle went on a 7-0 rally behind Santillan and Aljun Melecio to take the lead 72-69. Back-to-back triples by Soberano and Bolick swung the lead to Red Lions for good.
Tournament MVP Benoit Mbala finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks, while Melecio added 14 markers for La Salle./PN
