Cedrick Manzano and Joem Sabandal conspire in the clutch as Adamson survives win-hungry UST in an overtime thriller – the first for UAAP Season 86 men's basketball
MANILA, Philippines – The Adamson Soaring Falcons broke through the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament win column the hard way, escaping the UST Growling Tigers in a frantic 79-76 overtime finish at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, October 4.
Matty Erolon added 11 points in just 13 minutes off the bench, while Joem Sabandal added 9 points – 7 coming in the extra period alone – to go with 6 assists and 4 boards. UST floor general Paul Manalang, however, committed two straight costly fouls, one on a push to Monty Montebon, who split his charities at the 29-second mark, and another on a hack to Manzano, who also hit one of two from the line with just 2.7 ticks left.
“[It’s a] very hard-earned [win] indeed. Credit goes to UST and coach Pido [Jarencio’s] coaching staff, no? They really made it hard for us today even without their FSA ,” said Adamson head coach Nash Racela in Filipino.
