Cardinals, Pirates seek to seal NCAA title showdown

MANILA, Philippines: Mapua and Lyceum of the Philippines University seek to arrange a title duel as they face off with College of St. Benilde and San Beda, respectively, on Wednesday in the NCAA Season 99 Final Four at the MOA Arena.

Thanks to the twice-to-beat incentives they earned for finishing in the top two after the double-round elimination, the No. 1 Cardinals tackle the No. 4 Blazers at 1:30 p.m. while the No. 2 Pirates tangle with the No. 3 Lions at 3:30 p.m. needing just a win to arrange a best-of-three duel unfurling next week.
