MANILA, Philippines — For the second straight year, La Salle's Kevin Quiambao and Ateneo's Kacey Dela Rosa are to be crowned as the Most Valuable Players in the men's and women's divisions, respectively, of the UAAP basketball tournament.
The UAAP released the statistical points leaders on Thursday with Quiambao and Dela Rosa topping their respective divisions.Quiambao normed 81.35 SPs built on averages of 16.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists, while Dela Rosa garnered 96.28 on her 22.07 points, 16.0 rebounds, and 2.28 blocks per game in the eliminations.Completing the Mythical Team in the men's division are La Salle's Mike Phillips , UP's JD Cagulangan , FEU's Mo Konateh , and Nic Cabañero .UE's Precious Momowei was actually fifth in the race with 67.53 SPs but he's ineligible to make the men's best five since only one foreign student-athlete may enter the team which is Konateh in this case since he generated more SPs.On top of that, Momowei also got ejected and served a one-game suspension following his two unsportsmanlike fouls against UST on November 9, automatically disqualifying him for winning any individual awards.Meanwhile, FEU's Veejay Pre is set to be crowned as the Rookie of the Year after topping the freshmen's statistical race with 50.85 points.In the women's side, UST's Kent Pastrana , UP's Louna Ozar , Ateneo's Sarah Makanjuola , and NU's Angel Surada completed the Mythical Team.Ateneo's Junize Calago finished third in the race but was also disqualified from winning an individual award due to the same reason as Momowei, paving the way for Surada to make the Mythical Team.NU's Cielo Pagdulagan is set to win the Rookie of the Year award with her 56.57 SPs.
