SAN Miguel Beer formally arranged a much-anticipated battle with crowd favorite Barangay Ginebra as the Beermen routed Air21 Express, 105-86 in their sudden-death Wildcard face-off Sunday night at the Araneta Coliseum.http://www.sportsnews.ph/images/PBA/MAGNOLIA/PHILCUP08/seigle_santos2.jpg
Picking up from where they left off in their game against the Coca-Cola Tigers last Dec. 28, the Beermen made it 3-0 over the Express in their head-on duels in the conference.

It's Sta. Lucia versus Rain or Shine at 5 p.m. and San Miguel against Ginebra at 7:30 p.m. at the start of the best-of-three quarterfinals showdowns Wednesday in the same venue.

Air21 became the fourth team booted out in the all-Filipino tourney after Red Bull, Purefoods and Coca-Cola. The Express are coming back in the Fiesta Conference playing under the Burger King banner.

Lordy Tugade, Dondon Hontiveros, Bonbon Custodio, Danny Seigle and Dorian Pena all scored in double figures as the Beermen eased out the Express with a torrid shooting.

Tugade and Hontiveros rifled in 18 points each, Custodio and Seigle fired 16 apiece while Pena added 12 as the Beermen easily negated Gary David's 31-point explosion.

Arwind Santos and Don Allado were the two other Express who put in double-digit outputs with the former making 20 and the latter 12.
