Lyceum of the Philippines University turned on the defensive switch in its return from the halftime break as it rallied from 24 points down to turn back a gritty Arellano U side, 89-77, in overtime yesterday and solidify its grip of the lead in NCAA Season 99 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.

From a lethargic first half, the Pirates threw the defensive blanket on the Chiefs in the second when the former outscored the latter, 46-27, and later in OT when LPU held AU to just two points in salvaging a fifth straight win.LPU captain Enoch Valdez and Mclaude Guadana each delivered a season-best performance with 26 and 20 points, respectively, serving as the lead forces in the sweet victory.

It was a painful setback for the Chiefs, who were on the brink of snaring their first win after leading by as many as 24 points.“It boiled down to character, we didn’t give up,” said Malabanan.
