GAME SCHEDULE: NCAA Season 100 finals

MANILA, Philippines – Something’s got to give as Mapua and St. Benilde look to end their decades-long title droughts in the NCAA.

The Cardinals and the Blazers face off in the NCAA finals for the first time ever to dispute the Season 100 men’s basketball crown in a best-of-three affair.

Getting another crack at the grand prize after falling short of it last season, Mapua hopes to get the job done this time as it seeks its first championship since Season 67 in 1991.

Meanwhile, Benilde — which is back in the finals after a runner-up finish in Season 98 — looks to add to the first and only championship it won in Season 76 in 2000.

Here is the finals schedule:

December 1, Sunday | Araneta Coliseum

• 2 pm – Mapua vs St. Benilde (Game 1)

December 7, Saturday | Araneta Coliseum

• 10:30 am – San Beda vs Lyceum (Battle for third)
• 2:30 pm – Sr. Benilde vs Mapua (Game 2)

December 14, Saturday | Araneta Coliseum (if necessary)

• 2:30 pm – Mapua vs St. Benilde (Game 3)
