ROBERT Bolick proved to be Arellano's bane yet again.
Bolick put on a scintillating performance in the second half as he dropped a record-setting 50 points to lead San Beda back to winning ways in the NCAA Season 94 following a 98-79 win over the Chiefs on Friday at the Filoil Flying V Arena.
The do-it-all guard was pretty much untouchable in the second half, dropping 37 in the second half as the Red Lions ripped the Chiefs apart following a close first half.
And as he sat out with 40 seconds to go in the game following back to back threes, Bolick walked out with MVP chants to his name.
“August 24 is Robert Bolick day,” said San Beda head coach Boyet Fernandez.
“Pinalitan ko na last minute kasi maganda na yung 50. At least mabigyan siya ng palakpak ng San Beda. Robert deserves everything,” he added.
Bolick made 18-of-25 shots, drained five three-pointers, and hit all nine of his free throws in a jaw-dropping performance which had supporters and opponents alike in awe following a masterful performance.
It was the highest-scoring performance in the modern Final Four era of the NCAA, beating out John Wilson’s 48 point performance a decade ago for the Jose Rizal University.
The ultimate record in the NCAA was when the great Lim Eng Beng dropped 55 points 44 years ago when La Salle was still in the NCAA.
JV Mocon added 15 points and seven rebounds as Donald Tankoua chipped in 13 for the Red Lions who improved to 7-1.
Michael Canete paced the now 3-5 Chiefs with 24 points.

SAN BEDA 98 -- Bolick 50, Mocon 15, Tankoua 13, Canlas 6, Eugene 6, Oftana 4, Abuda 2, Nelle 2, Cabanag 0, Carino 0, Cuntapay 0, Doliguez 0, Soberano 0, Tongco 0.
