11 a.m. – LPU vs EAC
2:30 p.m. – JRU vs UPHSD

EMILIO Aguinaldo College  (EAC) shoots inch closer to a breakthrough Final Four appearance while Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) eyes a third straight stint there as they collide on Tuesday in NCAA Season 100 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.

Tied at No. 4 with even 8-8 slates, the Generals and the Pirates both seek for a victory in their 11 a.m. duel that will ensure them of at least a playoff for that last ticket to the semis bus.

There, they will join the College of St. Benilde Blazers (13-3), Mapua University Cardinals (13-3) and San Beda University Red Lions (10-6).

“We’re all aware that all our remaining games are a must-win,” said EAC coach Jerson Cabiltes, whose last elimination round foe will be against Jose Rizal University on Friday.

For LPU, it will be timely that for the first time this season, it will play with a complete roster as JM Bravo finally gets to play after a brush with concussion that sidelined him for a few weeks.

In a non-bearing contest, Jose Rizal University (4-12) and University of Perpetual Help (6-11) square off at 2:30 p.m. — Joey Villar
