SAN Beda’s Michole Sorela, Jose Rizal University’s Gio Lasquety and Mapua’s Denniel Aguirre have each been banned one game for their involvement in separate incidents during games recently in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
The suspensions were announced by the NCAA on Wednesday.
Sorela was ejected after being called for a disqualifying foul when he punched Perpetual Help’s Kevin Oliveria last week, and will have to sit out the next game against lowly Lyceum on Thursday.
