San Beda tramples Benilde to take Group A top seed

Manila Times - Nov 10, 2026

MANILA, Philippines — Amid all the twists and turns of the elimination round, defending champion San Beda University secured the Group A top seed after toppling College of Saint Benilde, 82-69, in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Tuesday afternoon at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Despite being tied with Jose Rizal University (JRU) with a 10-3 win-loss record, San Beda took the top spot in the “Group of Death,” due to the win-over-the-other rule. San Beda defeated JRU twice in the elimination round, giving the Mendiola-based squad the advantage. Taking the one-two slot in Group A, both San Beda and JRU head to the quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat incentive. The Yuri Escueta-mentored team will either face Group B’s bottom teams, Perpetual and San Sebastián, which will clash in the play-in round San Sebastián needs to win over Perpetual twice in order to earn a quarterfinals slot. Andrei Ugaddan led the scoring for San Beda with 18 points and five rebounds, while Jimmy Reyes added 12 points. “We just trained, and we really worked hard for it, as you can see.

Farm Fresh snaps PLDT streak in five-set thriller behind Trisha Tubu's 30 points

MANILA, Philippines — Trisha Tubu scored eight points in the deciding frame alone to allow the Farm Fresh Foxies to snap the three-game winning streak of the PLDT High Speed Hitters, 20-25, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20, 17-15, in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series on Tuesday at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City. Farm Fresh improved to a 4-2 win-loss record to enjoy solo third in the standings, behind conference leaders Nxled (5-0) and Creamline (4-1). Tubu exploded for 30 points—all on attacks—along with nine excellent digs, marking her best performance against the tough PLDT squad since the PVL Invitational Conference. She had only scored five points in her previous meeting with PLDT in the Invitational Conference. “Whenever I face PLDT, I struggle to score 10 points or higher,” Tubu told the media in Filipino. “They give me the confidence because I am confident in scoring and spiking, knowing that someone covers the floor. We know PLDT is a blocking team, and I used to struggle getting my shots past them, but the trust of my teammates makes the difference,” she added. Aside from Tubu, Royse Tubino delivered a double-double performance of 14 points and 13 excellent receptions. Alohi Robins-Hardy orchestrated the offense with 23 excellent sets, helping two more Farm Fresh gunners score in double digits as Mylene Rezanova chipped in 12 points and Ces Molina added 11. PLDT, which came into the match riding a three-game winning streak, relied on Savi Davison’s monster triple-double performance of 23 points, 23 excellent digs, and 19 excellent receptions, but it was not enough to conquer the gritty Foxies. Jovie Prado and Kianna Dy contributed 13 and 10 points, respectively, in the defeat. The victory marked Farm Fresh's fifth five-set match of the conference, bringing their record in deciders to 3-2. Looking ahead, Farm Fresh will next face Capital 1, while PLDT aims to bounce back against Galeries on Saturday at the PhilSports Arena.

Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski each score 25 as Warriors run away from Pelicans for 138-87 win

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry scored 25 points in 20-plus minutes, Yaxel Lendeborg had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and the Golden State Warriors won their eighth straight game by running away from the undermanned New Orleans Pelicans early for a 138-87 victory Monday night. Brandin Podziemski added 25 points while Curry wound up 6 for 10 with four 3-pointers coming off a 41-point performance in Saturday’s 126-119 overtime win against Orlando. He passed DeMar DeRozan (26,800) for 16th place on the NBA's career scoring list with 26,803. Golden State had three players with at least 20 points for the second time this season and the Warriors finished with 30 or more assists — 37 — for the third straight game and fifth in the last six. They are 6-0 when doing so. Injured guard Jimmy Butler dressed up like a member of the coaching staff and held a clipboard, writing “PASS TO STEPH” on it. Derik Queen scored 16 points off the bench and Dejounte Murray added 12 points for the Pelicans, who were out of the game almost from the tipoff and trailed 72-43 at halftime on the way to losing a third straight after a four-game winning streak. Golden State led 35-20 after one quarter as New Orleans shot just 7 of 23 and missed 10 of 12 3-point tries. The Warriors built a 23-point lead early in the second as Podziemski scored four quick points and rolled from there. Charles Bassey contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench and De'Anthony Melton scored 16 with four 3s. Lendeborg and Pelicans guard Jordan Poole, both former Michigan stars, traded jerseys afterward. New Orleans rested Zion Williamson a night after a 139-123 road loss to the Clippers and Trey Murphy III also sat out to manage his troublesome knees after he scored 26 in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Warriors lost second-year guard Will Richard to a torn ligament in his left thumb and the team said he would weigh his options over the next week on whether to have surgery or wear a splint while playing.
