Rookie Baser Amer scored all his 11 points in the final quarter but muffed two pressure-packed charities in the last eight seconds with the Lions barely hanging on to a one-point lead.
The Blazers had a chance to snatch victory as Carlo Lastimosa took Amer’s miss and dribbled coast to coast but his floater bounced off the rim as time expired.
“We played with fire and we nearly got burned, it was a scary win and I’m really disappointed,” said San Beda coach Frankie Lim.
The Lions came into the game with a winning average of 25 points but ran into a surprisingly tough Blazers’ side all game.
Kyle Pascual and Garvo Lanete fired 16 and 12 points, respectively, for the Lions, who notched their fourth win in a row in a tie with the Stags.
Lastimosa finished with 19 points for the Blazers, including a triple that gave the team a 69-67 lead midway in the final period.
“I have to give it to St. Benilde though, they prepared and played well against us,” said Lim.
Meanwhile, two-time NCAA Juniors champs San Beda Red Cubs successfully defeated rival LSGH Greenies 95-79 to claim top spot (4-0) in Junior division.
St. Benilde took its third defeat against a win.
