Adamson's birthday boy Vince Magbuhos celebrates in the best way possible, sinking a banking three at the overtime buzzer to stun defending UAAP champion Ateneo
MANILA, Philippines – Vince Magbuhos created for himself a dreamlike 24th birthday celebration on Saturday, October 7, as he banked in a buzzer-beating three to lift Adamson to its second straight UAAP Season 86 overtime win, this time at champion Ateneo’s expense, 74-71, at the Araneta Coliseum.
Eli Ramos, brother of Gilas Pilipinas standout Dwight, had his best game so far in Adamson colors with a game-high 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting, while post beast Ced Manzano tallied another double-double of 12 points and 12 boards. Scrappy defense coupled with costly turnovers from both sides essentially made up the story for the entire extra period, highlighted with rookie Mason Amos bungling Ateneo’s last chance to go ahead at the 24.9-second mark with two missed free throws.
Amos paced the heartbreaking loss with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals in 22 minutes off the bench as Ateneo fell to a 1-2 start.
