Philippines still pulled through as it reached the finals for the second straight season in the 85th University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.
Gerry Abadiano and Joel Cagalungan scored the key baskets with Tamayo watching on the bench and his feet dipped on ice, sending the second seed Fighting Maroons to a 69-61 triumph over the third seed National University Bulldogs. “We’re happy that we’ll be getting another chance to win another championship. We started out flat. But I believe the team bounced back from where we started, losing Carl in the first half, when he’s not 100%. The team responded well to the challenge that was given to us,” said Maroons’ coach Goldwin Monteverde.
UP first moved ahead, 63-61, on Abadiano’s basket off his steal off Omar John’s bad pass to Baclaan with 1:40 left.
