Veteran coach Derick Pumaren sings praises for Michael Phillips and Justine Baltazar, the duo who outrebounded the entire UE squad in La Salle's overtime escape. UAAPSeason84
MANILA, Philippines – In one of the most unexpected thrillers of UAAP Season 84, winless UE pushed contending La Salle to the limit last Thursday, April 21, as the blindsided ArchersFacing a real challenge from Harvey Pagsanjan, Clint Escamis, and collegiate champion coach Jamike Jarin, veteran tactician Derick Pumaren sang nothing but praises for his boys after they pulled out all the stops on Thursday night.
“You know, in more than 30 years of coaching, this is the first time I had two players getting more than 20 rebounds, and that’s one for the books, I must say,” the multi-titled Pumaren said after the game. “These two kept us in the game, they kept getting the rebounds that we needed.” “My shooting was terrible in the first half,” Baltazar lamented in Filipino. “But I didn’t give up. I defended first, and the points followed. Michael helped us out a lot too on the boards, and in defense. We played with pride, and didn’t let up until the end.”
