NCAA Season 64: The Letran Knights

The Letran Knights, winner of five of the last six tournaments of the NCAA senior basketball and are looking for their second grandslam in 1988, had been playing below-par in the first round of eliminations.

The Knights eventually yield the crown to their arch-rival San Sebastian Stags, which completed a 10-game sweep in the eliminations en route to the title.
