Generals on track for quarters bonus
MANILA, Philippines — Emilio Aguinaldo College big man Jacob Shanoda has turned from zero to hero in a just few days.
Shanoda came through with a solid performance in powering the Generals to a shock 78-71 victory over the Letran Knights yesterday to catch up on the Arellano Chiefs at second in Group B in NCAA Season 102 at the Filoil Centre.
From a scoreless effort in a 92-89 overtime win over Perpetual Help last Friday, Shanoda delivered 16 points and eight rebounds in lifting EAC to 6-6 and in contention for a twice-to-beat quarterfinal edge given to the top two finishers per bracket.
“Nung last game namin, zero ako kaya sinabihan ako ni coach (Jerson Cabiltes) kailangan ko bumawi,” said Shanoda. “Tinake ko lang as a challenge iyon at nagbunga lang din ngayong araw.”
Later, San Beda prevailed over Lyceum, 71-65, to boost its bid for Top 2 in Group A at 9-3.
The Red Lions sent the Pirates crashing to a 4-8, essentially sealing their spot as Group A’s fifth seed.eight points, four boards, two dimes and the same number of steals in just 20 minutes of action.
