San Sebastian College-Recoletos shoots for its sixth straight win when it collides with University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on Tuesday at The Arena in San Juan.

The red-hot Stags are fresh from an 83-67 win over the College of St. Benilde Blazers where shooter Allyn Bulanadi fired a personal best 32 points.

The Stags now have a 7-3 record and coach Egar Macaraya hopes to sustain the streak in their 12 noon duel with the Altas as they intend to advance to the Final Four this time.

In other games, St. Benilde takes on dangerous Mapua, which stunned Letran in double overtime last week, 105-101, at 2 p.m. while season host Arellano University takes on Jose Rizal University at 4 p.m.

Macaraya said that playing in the playoff stage is their immediate goal.

“That’s our target, to advance in the Final Four. At the moment, we’re in good position,” said Macaraya, whose team won its first round meeting with Perpetual, 107-90, last August 23.

“The players are stepping up and the other players are contributing well. I’m just hoping that we can sustain it,” added Macaraya.
