DARYLE Tan calmly sank a free throw with four seconds left to push Sherilin past San Remegio-SG ARQ, 79-78, in the semifinals of the Recreational Division of the CrossFit Subtero x Metro Cebu Basketball League Powered by Rad Teamwear last Sunday afternoon at the City Sports Club-Cebu basketball court.

Up by 18 at the half, Sherilin suddenly took its foot off the gas pedal, allowing the scrappy San Remegio squad to tie the ballgame up at 78-all.

On the ensuing possession, Tan was fouled as he was making his move along the baseline. He hit a freethrow that proved to be the game-winner in the neck-and-neck match.

Tan finished with 23 points and 12 boards to lead Sherilin’s balanced attack.

Sherilin faces the Lycans next in the finals that is set on February 18 at the same venue.

The Lycans encountered nominal resistance in their semifinal match against Dentech as they won via rout, 105-69.

Four players scored in double figures for the Lycans led by Jesus Saga who had 27 points and former University of the Visayas Baby Lancer great, JC Escalona, who had 22 points.
