When you get the opposing coach heaping praises on you, that speaks volumes.
That was the case, at least, for Mapua University's Clint Escamis when De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde head coach Charles Tiu had nothing but good things to say about him on the heels of their encounter in Game 1 of NCAA Season 100 finals on Sunday.Escamis went off on another massive scoring spree, dropping 30 points on a 57% shooting percentage laced with five steals and four assists to star on both ends in their 84-73 mastery of the Blazers.
"And the Blazers know that if they want to extend the series to a winner-take-all Game 3, they would need to prioritize stopping Escamis come Game 2 which won't be happening until next Saturday, giving both teams enough time to plot their next move."Clint Escamis was great as always," Tiu added."It was a tough game for us, I guess the guys were a bit nervous as this is their first time in the finals so hopefully we can be better next game.
