Suspensions

edit
  • The NCAA Management Committee (Mancom) slapped Letran center Eric Rodriguez with a one-game suspension for an unsportsmanlike behavior during their second-round matchup against Perpetual Altas. Letran officials then filed a temporary restraining order from Manila Regional Trial Court to prevent the enforcement of suspending Rodriguez.[6] NCAA Mancom chairman Michael Del Mundo blasted the Letran administration for questioning its judgment to suspend Rodriguez.[7] Rodriguez did not play in their next game against the Mapua Cardinals.[8]
  • Letran guard Ronjay Enrile was suspended for one game after a skirmish with San Sebastian's Leo Najorda in their final game date of the elimination round. Enrile was also sidelined after allegedly spitting on Perpetual's Noy Javier in their first round matchup. He sat out in the Final Four match against PCU Dolphins.[9]
