JP Belencion scored 10 three pointers to end with 36 points and lead Letran to the Elite 8 of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League. Belencion and Alas led the Knights attack in the first half as the duo scored in double-digits in the half, while Joshua Webb kept the squad from Taft in the game at the half by scoring 15 markers.
Then come in the 3rd canto, Belencion continued his shooting barrage, extending Letran's lead to double-digits and never looked back. This puts the Knights on the quarters, awaiting for the winner of the San Sebastian College-Recoletos and Univeersity of San Carlos match as their next opponent.
In the ensuing game, the UAAP champs Ateneo Blue Eagles kept the Lyceum Pirates at bay, winning the game 73-63. The Pirates actually held the lead in the early moments of the game, before the Eagles' full court pressure helped them back in the game and built a big lead before the Pirates tried to make a one last dash, hence the final score. The Eagles will await the winner of the Jose Rizal University and University of Santo Tomas game in the Elite 8.
Far Eastern University and San Beda College are the other teams that had advanced in the Elite 8 as they have beaten Arellano University and San Sebastian College-Recoletos Cavite respectively.
Meanwhile on Saturday, the University of the East will face off against the University of Cebu, runner-up of the CESAFI. UC will be touting their 6' 9" Junmar Fajardo against UE, as the Mapua Institute of Technology will be squaring off against the CESAFI Champions University of Visayas, who will be led by 6' 11" Greg Slaughter as these teams duke it out for the 2 more slots on the Elite 8.
