ANTIPOLO, Philippines – In an extremely hostile environment at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City, the Letran Knights bucked the suspension of star guard Fran Yu with a shocking NCAA finals Game 3 blowout of the College of St. Benilde Blazers, 81-67, to complete a rare men’s basketball title three-peat.
