Centro Escolar University handed Hazchem a 50-point humilation, 126-76, to seal a top two spot in Group B of the 2019 PBA D-League Foundation Cup Thursday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.

Bling Murillo and Jerome Santos also did their part in the win by chiming in 12 and 10 markers, respectively, for CEU, which has also earned a twice-to-beat advantage for the playoffs.
“That’s what we’re looking for: the top two and having the twice-to-beat advantage,” coach Derrick Pumaren said.
