Just as important, they are now assured of at least a playoff for a twice-to-beat advantage.“I think we’re peaking at the right time,” said star point guard Robert Bolick, who had 19 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists to lead the Red Lions’ charge against the Blazers on Thursday.“Hopefully, ma-continue pa rin,” he added.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2018/10/04/ncaa-san-beda-keeps-win-run-going-keeps-pace-lpu-47814">READ: San Beda keeps win run going, keeps pace with Lyceum</a></li></ul>Bolick credited this upward trend in the season to the hard work of his teammates. “Before practice, I see a lot of players shooting extra shots, kaya gumagaling kai as a team,” he explained. “Mas madali sa akin as a leader, because mahihirapan sila madepensahan kami.”“Our teammates can score, our teammates can defend,” Bolick said. “So, credit to them, kaya kami nagpi-peak at the right time.”This can only bode well for a San Beda team that is looking to win a third consecutive title in the NCAA, even though they are feeling the pressure not just from other teams but from within their own community.“Sa San Beda kasi… every year, alam kasi namin na kailangan na prepared kami parati, every game,” said Bolick. “Because our school, hindi tumatanggap ng talo, kahit anong game yan, FilOil, PCCL, kahit mga charity game pa &#x27;yan.”“Our school is built for championships,” Bolick stressed.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
