MANILA -- Lyceum's Shawn Umali has emerged as the first Player of the Week for the NCAA's 99th season after helping the Pirates roll to a strong start in the men's basketball tournament.
In all three games, Umali has been a revelation for the Pirates. The 6-foot-3 bruiser has put together averages of 12 points, 5.67 rebounds, and two assists as the Pirates sailed to top of the standings with an immaculate 3-0 win-loss record. These feats earned Umali this year's first Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week citation for Season 99.
For Umali, it's just about getting ready whenever his number is called up in the big moments by head coach Gilbert Malabanan.
