THE JOSE RIZAL University Heavy Bombers will be entering the Final Four with a lot of momentum on their side as they won their sixth straight game with a 90-77 defeat of the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals at the close of their elimination round campaign in the 87th NCAA basketball tournament yesterday at the Arena in San Juan.

Forward John Lopez collected 17 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal and a block for the final-four bound Heavy Bombers, the No. 4 seed at 9-9 (win-loss).

JRU stared at a double-digit deficit at the half before turning it up a notch in the pivotal third quarter where the Bombers outscored the Generals, 30-14. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
