Clint Escamis, who just celebrated his 22nd birthday, provided key baskets that sent the Mapua Cardinals to an 87-83 upset of the Lyceum Pirates on Saturday in the 99th National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament at the FilOil-EcOil Arena in San Juan.
Escamis scored a triple that shattered an 82-all deadlock and made two charities that pushed the Cardinals to their sixth win in seven outings. The 5’11” Escamis went on to tally a game-high 20 points, along with Warren Bonifacio, to go with nine rebounds.“Hindi ako makapaniwala naibanda pa iyung tira. Nung nag-rally, sabi ko sa kanila na ginawa na nila ito sa Arellano, at babalik sila,” said Cardinals coach Randy Alcantara, after they watched their 17-point edge vanish in the last period.
