AGJANTI Miller was in his element in San Beda’s dominant 62-50 win over San Sebastian in the NCAA Season 101 men’s basketball tournament at San Juan Arena on Sunday.

Miller dropped a career-high 24 points to go along with six assists to fuel the Red Lions to their fourth straight win in the elimination round.

“I was ready to lock in when we got started,” he said, after helping San Beda’s improvement to a 6-1 record in Group B.

“I do a lot of meditation to get ready for this game but I had to stay locked in, composed and humble even after this game.”

After trailing by as much as 23 points, the Golden Stags trimmed their deficit down to eight, 54-46, at the 7:16 mark of the fourth quarter.

Miller, though, would prove his mettle, scoring all of San Beda’s last six points to keep Baste at bay, 62-48, with 4:32 left in the game.

Aside from Miller, Jomel Puno was also stellar in the Red Lions’ dub with a double-double of 10 points and 17 rebounds.

San Sebastian, meanwhile, dropped its fifth straight game but not without Jhuniel Dela Rama’s double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds.  Ian Cuajao also scattered 10 points in the defeat that sent the Stags to a 1-7 card in Group A.
