University of Sto. Tomas is hoping to make some noise in the incoming UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament.
Spearheaded by returning head coach Pido Jarencio, and now being backed by San Miguel Corporation, the Growling Tigers are primed to change their fortunes after suffering a 1-13 record last year,
“Makapanalo lang kaming isa, goal na namin yun. Makadalawa sobra na yun!” Jarencio jokingly said during the league’s media conference earlier Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. “Ready naman yung team. Okay naman, maayos naman [yung chemistry]. Medyo matagal na ‘rin kaming nagsama eh, since February eh,” he said.“Tignan natin. Kasi yung ipagmamalaki, hindi pa natin alam eh, galing kami sa 1-13 last year eh. Tignan natin, one game at a time. Kung mag-improve yung team ayos, kung hindi naman, eh patay sakin ‘tong mga ‘to pag hindi nag-improve this year,” he said, while poking fun at his players once more.
But this approach, according to the former Northport Batang Pier mentor, is just his way of connecting to his players to create a bond that he hopes will translate into them bringing back the 3Ps that have been Pido’s battle cry with UST ever since.
