MANILA, Philippines – The first UAAP game in two years turned ugly quickly as the FEU Tamaraws buried the UST Growling Tigers, 76-51, in the Season 84 kickoff at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, March 26.
Highly-touted rookie RJ Abarrientos quickly showed what he is capable of as he dropped 9 of his 14 first-half points in the second quarter alone off 4-of-6 shooting from three, which turned a lopsided 22-9 first period lead to a more brutal 47-18 gap at intermission. He ended up with 18 markers in 20 minutes and emerged as the Player of the Game.
FEU then refused to let its foot off the gas in the second half as it went up by as many as 30, 58-28, midway through the third frame. Both teams, like all other UAAP schools, will return on Tuesday, March 29. FEU will try to start a winning streak at 1 pm against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, while UST will shoot for a breakthrough win at 7 pm against the UP Fighting Maroons.FEU 76 – Abarrientos 18, Sajonia 12, Ojuola 8, Gravera 6, Coquia 6, Li 5, Bienes 4, Anonuevo 4, Sleat 3, Alforque 2, Dulatre 2, Sandagon 2, Celzo 2, Torres 2, Tempra 0.
