Southwestern University, which lost its Cebu School Athletic Foundation Inc (CESAFI) title last month to the University of the Visayas via a 3-2 decision in the best-of-five finals after taking a 2-0 lead, exacted revenge against its fierce Sugbu collegiate basketball rival Wednesday night with a 68-60 victory over the Green Lancers at the Cebu Coliseum to claim the Southern Island title and a Final Four berth in the 2013 Philippine Collegiate Champions League. The Cobras thus joined University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) titlist De La Salle University and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion San Beda College into the PCCL Final Four. Only the Luzon-Metro manila representative has yet to be determined. SWU is in the PCCL Final Four for the second year in a row. For the San Beda Red Lionbs, it will be their third straight Final Four appearance, having ranked third the past two years. Since 2012, the PCCL has given automatic Final Four seats to the UAAP and NCAA champions. The teams in the Final Four, which starts next month, will play against each other once to determine the two teams that will duke it out in the best-of-three finals. A year ago, the University of Santo Tomas went through the qualifiers before whipping Ateneo de Manila University in a maximum three games in the PCCL finals to capture the crown for the first time ever. A month before, the Blue Eagles swept the Growling in the best-of-three UAAP finals. In the series-deciding Game Three, Jeric Teng, now a rookie professional with Rain or Shine in the Philippine Basketball Association, collected five triples and a game-high 22 points to power the Growling Tigers to an 81-76 win and earn MVP honors in the process. San Beda, which recently annexed its fourth straight NCAA crown with a 2-1 win over Colegio de San Juan de Letran for a sixth title in seven years, placed third in last year’s PCCL Final Four after defeating Southwestern University, 64-56.
