Jimbo Aquino showed he’s the heart and soul of San Sebastian after leading the Stags to their seventh straight NCAA seniors’ basketball victory.

Aquino buried 23 points and hauled down seven rebounds in San Sebastian’s 91-76 drubbing of erstwhile co-leader and last year’s runner-up Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers last Monday, enough to seal him his second ACCEL/Fil-Oil NCAA Player of the Week Player of the Week honor.

With Aquino’s consistent 21-point average per game, San Sebastian managed to climb up to solo lead and remained the only unscathed team this season with a 7-0 win-loss record.

“He gave another clutch performance for the team and again proved his leadership,” said Stags rookie coach Ato Agustin of the 23-year-old native of Bamban, Tarlac.

Aquino, the first player to collect two NCAA POW honors this year, was the inaugural recipient of the award five weeks back when he led the Stags to their first two wins this season including a shocker against the defending three-time champion San Beda Red Lions.

Against JRU, Aquino drained 14 of his total output in the first two quarters to pace San Sebastian and even outscored his fiercest scoring rival, Heavy Bomber John Wilson.

However, Agustin said Aquino still needs to work on his concentration.

“The only problem with Jimbo especially when the crowd is cheering him on, he gets a little bit carried away,” said Agustin, noting Aquino’s disqualification after committing his fifth foul late in the fourth. “I told him that he’s our gunner and he has to control his fouls because the team needs him inside the court. He should adjust and play smart.”

Aquino topped the likes of San Beda hot shots Garvo Lanete and Sudan Daniel and Letran's RJ Jazul for the weekly plum given by a group sports scribes from the country's leading broadsheets and tabloids covering the beat.
