BITTER rivals San Beda University (SBU) and Colegio de San Juan de Letran, the NCAA’s most titled college basketball teams, will try to close in on a chance at adding another championship to their vast collection as they shoot for the jugular against separate foes on Friday in NCAA Season 101 at the MOA Arena.

The SBU Lions were resolute in their 91-72 demolition of the College of St. Benilde (CSB) Blazers in the opener on Tuesday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and should be equally determined in Game Two in their duel at noon.

“We expect CSB to be tougher in Game Two and make adjustments,” said a weary San Beda coach Yuri Escueta.

“We just have to be ready,” he added.

The Letran Knights, for their part, had to outlast the Perpetual Help Altas in their own series opener to escape with a 77-73 win and should be locked and loaded again when they face off at 2:30 p.m.

A decider, if necessary, is set on Sunday back at the Big Dome.

San Beda aims for a league-best 24th senior cage championship while Letran tries to close the gap as it shoots for title No. 21, the second highest in the NCAA.

The Lions are expected to draw strength anew on their power duo of Agjanti Miller and John Sajonia, who erupted for 29 and 26 points, respectively.

Mr. Escueta stressed the Game Two result will hinge mostly on how his big men would respond to the challenge of facing reigning MVP Allen Liwag of CSB.

“I will continue to challenge my bigs because they have to guard him (Mr. Liwag) from the post and the perimeter and box him out at the same time,” he said. — Joey Villar

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
