Timbol leads Cards past Pirates
MANILA, Philippines — The Mapua Cardinals gained momentum and morale boost ahead of the play-in as it drubbed the Lyceum of the Philippines U Pirates, 71-68, at the close of its classification round games in NCAA Season 102 yesterday.
“Sa’min momentum talaga ito kasi kailangan namin yung confidence heading to the play-in,” said Mapua shooter Kyle Timbol, who unleashed a game-high six triples and finished with 20 points, another match best.
“Malaking experience ito sa amin na madadala namin ng maayos,” he added.
The Cardinals finished the elims at 7-3 while Pirates dropped to 4-8.
If there’s any consolation for Lyceum, it didn’t go down without a fight.
The Pirates gave the Cardinals all the fight they could handle and just trailed, 65-66, late in the fourth quarter.
