Arellano&#x27;s victory meant that San Beda, last year&#x27;s FilOil champion, was eliminated from the competition. It marked the first time that the Red Lions failed to advance to the tournament&#x27;s Final Four.&quot;Champion team &#x27;yan, and ang outside shots namin hindi tumatama noong umpisa,&quot; said Arellano coach Jerry Codiñera at the end of the game. &quot;Pero one basket at a time lang kami.&quot;(READ: <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2016/06/07/ikeh-carries-ateneo-perpetual-semis-12101" target="_blank">Ikeh carries Ateneo over Perpetual and into semis</a>)San Beda pulled away early in the fourth quarter, with JV Mocon scoring seven points in an 11-0 burst that put them up, 69-59.Compounding Arellano&#x27;s problems was a technical foul called on Codiñera, who marched into the court to complain about a perceived non-call on Jalalon. Dan Sara made the technical free throw and then scored a triple in the bonus possession to cap San Beda&#x27;s run.Their coach&#x27;s technical foul appeared to fire up the Chiefs, however. Zach Nichols sparked a tremendous 18-0 run with back-to-back three-pointers, while Jalalon orchestrated the offense, firing assists to Kent Salado and Dioncee Holts.It was a no-look bounce pass to a cutting Holts that allowed Arellano to tie the game at 69-all, and another bounce pass by Jalalon to Holts for a lay-up gave the Chiefs the lead for good, 71-69.&quot;Hindi ko lang masabi. Nag-trigger nga ng intensity (ang technical foul ko),&quot; said Codiñera. &quot;Intense lang ako kanina. Siyempre, San Beda ang kalaban.&quot;The Chiefs went on to lead, 77-69, with two minutes left before the Red Lions rallied, coming to within four points, 77-81, with 33.8 seconds left following an unexpected three-pointer from Donald Tankoua. Another lay-up by Tankoua cut the lead to three, 79-82, with 19.1 left, but Jalalon was steady at the line to ice the game.&quot;Nagtulong-tulong lang din talaga kami,&quot; said Jalalon.Holts finished with 16 points and nine rebounds, while Nichols added 16 points as well for the Chiefs, who shot 43% from the field and committed only 16 turnovers despite strong pressure defense from San Beda.Tankoua finished with 20 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Red Lions, while Mocon had 15 points, 14 boards, and seven assists. Sara added 16 points. But San Beda struggled from the field, making only 34% of their shots. They made only 8-of-27 three-pointers and designated sharp-shooter AC Soberano bricked all six of his attempts from beyond the arc.The Chiefs will play the National University Bulldogs (NU) in the semi-finals on Friday. NU earlier defeated Adamson, 65-57, in their own quarterfinal match-up.(READ: <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2016/06/07/salim-sends-bulldogs-filoil-final-four-12104" target="_blank">Salim sends Bulldogs into Filoil Final Four</a>)<div>THE SCORES: </div>ARELLANO 86 – Jalalon 21, Holts 16, Nicholls 16, Flores 10, Salado 8, Canete 7, Meca 4, Cadavis 4, Aguilar 0, Viloria 0, Gumaru 0, Enriquez 0, Abanes 0, Gupilan 0, Ongolo 0SAN BEDA 79 – Tankoua 20, Sara 16, Mocon 15, Bolick 15, Tongco 5, Presbitero 4, Noah 2, Soberano 1, Oftana 1, Potts 0, Bonsubre 0, Carlos 0, Navarro 0QUARTER SCORES: 20-17, 36-37, 59-58, 86-79For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/" target="_blank">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
