Preview: San Beda vs. Arellano
The San Beda Red Lions go head-to-head with the Arellano Chiefs. While the Red Lions boast a storied history with a record 22 NCAA men's basketball titles, they find themselves in an unfamiliar position this season – that of underdogs.
Last season, San Beda, under the guidance of Coach Yuri Escueta, finished with a 12-6 record, securing a spot in the Final Four. However, their journey was cut short by the top-seeded Blazers in the semifinals.
On the other side of the court, the Arellano Chiefs are hungry for glory as they prepare to face off against the formidable San Beda squad. Under the new leadership of Coach Chico Manabat, who took over from Cholo Martin, the Chiefs aim to make a strong statement in their season debut.
Coach Manabat is entrusted with a team that features an influx of nine rookies, and their performance on the court will be closely watched as they aim to prove their worth in the competitive NCAA basketball landscape.
