San Beda University bounced back and vented its ire on Jose Rizal University, 77-60, on Saturday in NCAA Season 100 at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Shawn Argente had other plans, however, as he had 16 points in the third quarter alone as the Heavy Bombers inched closer, 51-41, at the 4:43 mark of the third period. However, back-to-back triples from Yukien Andrada and Emman Tagle, followed by a split from Jomel Puno gave San Beda a 17-point lead.
"I had to give it to the boys on how they played today. They came out swinging. The energy and effort was really there, right there from the start," San Beda head coach Yuri Escueta said. "It was a devastating loss, but we stayed together, we picked each other up and tinrabaho talaga namin sa training. These past few days, we worked really hard, we gave our hundred percent every single day in training and it showed naman sa laro namin," said Andrada.
