MANILA, Philippines–JL Capulong overpowered an undersized Lyceum University side as Arellano University prevailed, 91-86, on Saturday at the NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball tournament.
Exploiting the obvious mismatch around the rim, the heavy-duty 6-foot-6 pivotman dominated the entire frontline of the Pirates with a career-high 30 points and 16 rebounds as the embattled Chiefs began their rigorous climb out of the pits.
