Top Basketball Story of 2012: Red Cubs, Red Lions Dominates NCAA

Once again, San Beda was the undisputed #1 force in NCAA Basketball as the Red Lions and Red Cubs romped their way to the Seniors and Juniors titles respectively.

The Red Lions gifted rookie mentor Ronnie Magsanoc with an NCAA title, dominating the Letran Knights, 67-39, in Game Three of the Finals. The diminutive duo of Anjo Caram and Baser Amer led San Beda with a combined 31 points, while Jake Pascual tossed in 10 markers and grabbed 9 rebounds. San Beda shot just 36% from the field, but their defense held firm, holding the Knights to just 27% FG shooting. They also managed to shackle Letran shooter Kevin Alas to just 11 markers on 5-of-21 shooting.

This was San Beda’s third straight crown in the NCAA Seniors Division.

The Red Lions’ little brothers also copped the title in the Juniors Division, beating the San Sebastian Staglets in two games.

Red Cub Javee Mocon was adjudged Finals MVP after averaging 12.5 points and 14.0 rebounds in the championship series. RP-Youth Team members Arvin Tolentino and Andrei Caracut also did well for San Beda as they normed 16.5ppg and 15.0ppg respectively in the Finals. 

San Beda domination in junior's basketball continues as Tolentino, Caracut, with fellow RP-Youth stalwarts Rev Diputado and Ranbill Tongco powers the Red Cubs aims to go FIVE next season.
