Photo from NCAA Philippines. </div>MANILA — San Beda University inched closer to a spot in the Final Four of the NCAA Season 100 men&#x27;s basketball tournament after it dominated Jose Rizal University.The Red Lions banked on a strong second-quarter performance to dismantle the Heavy Bombers, 83-70, during their Round 2 showdown, Tuesday afternoon at the San Juan Arena.Season 99 Finals MVP James Payosing led the Mendiola-based with 18 points, six rebounds, and three assists, while Jomel Puno paced his team with a 17-point, 12-rebound performance.San Beda also managed to get their ninth win in 14 games despite being undermanned — as Bryan Sajonia (ankle), Bismarck Lina (suspension), and Nygel Gonzales (nose) all missed the bout — and Lions head coach Yuri Escueta was proud of how his team stepped up sans their three key cogs. &quot;Very important for us yung mga nagse-step up,&quot; said Escueta after the game. &quot;Sabi ko sa kanila at the start of the game, I didn&#x27;t want to say na we are undermanned. I had full confidence in the guys who were suited up.&quot;&quot;Alam ko na they are ready to play, so ang sabi ko lang sa kanila is be smart and execute well. Kahit naman sino maglaro, basta naka-focus, I&#x27;m confident that we&#x27;ll come up with a win.&quot;With the win, the Red Lions are now only two wins away from officially joining College of St. Benilde and Mapua University in the Final Four. Helping them be in this position was when SBU was trailing by a point to end the first period, the reigning champions shifted gears late in the second for a 29-13 lead in that span, and this helped them to lead by as much as 15, 46-31- before the end of the first half.San Beda&#x27;s lead grew to as many as 19, 74-55, following a basket by John Bonzalida at the 7:56 mark of the fourth, and that was all the Red Lions needed to take care of business against JRU.The Heavy Bombers, who were led by Shawn Argente&#x27;s 16 and Joshua Guiab&#x27;s 13, fell to 4-10. JRU is now tied with San Sebastian College-Recoletos for the 9th and 10th places in the team standings.<div>THE SCORES: </div>San Beda 83 – Payosing 18, Puno 17, Tagle 9, Calimag 8, Royo 7, Estacio 5, Bonzalida 5, Andrada 5, Celzo 5, Songcuya 2, Culdora 2, Jalbuena 0.JRU 70 – Argente 16, Guiab 13, Raymundo 9, Bernardo 8, Panapanaan 6, De Leon 4, Sarmiento 4, Barrera 4, Ramos 2, Medina 2, De Jesus 2, Mosqueda 0, Pangilinan 0, Lozano 0.Quarterscores: 17-18, 46-31, 69-53, 83-70<div>RELATED VIDEO</div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPPmbvEIhO4dLua&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script>
