Belencion drains eight threes in FMC

Letran's Jaypee Belencion put on another explosive performance from the outside, this time in a small gym with no television cameras or sportswriters in sight.

Belencion drilled eight three-pointers to finish with 27 points as the Knights dismantled Arellano B, 97-38 in Saturday's 5th Father Martin Open Cup at the Arellano gym in Legarda.

That performance was made only in the first half before spending most of his time on the bench as the Knights easily thrashed the Chiefs.

Belencion's offensive effort came after draining 10-of-19 triples for 36 points as Letran defeated La Salle, 83-72, in the Sweet 16 of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League at the Ynares Sports Arena.

In that contest, Letran played without RJ Jazul, Rey Guevarra and Kirk del Rosario, putting Belencion in the spotlight.

In the second game, Nigerian Ifeanyi Mbah scored 12 points as University of the Philippines repulsed Emilio Aguinaldo College, 78-55.
