Mike Phillips – the heart and soul of defending UAAP men's basketball champion La Salle – again gives all-out effort for the Archers in essentially a no-bearing game against Final Four-seeking FEU

That is, without hyperbole, exactly what the La Salle community witnessed on Wednesday, November 6, as the former UAAP Mythical Five member and reigning champion bullied the gutsy, Final Four-seeking FEU Tamaraws and helped the Green Archers enact a 58-53 escape at the Mall of Asia Arena. Following a go-ahead Raven Gonzales floater with 1:16 to play, 52-51, Phillips pushed La Salle further up with a buzzer-beating hook at the 52-second mark, 54-51, before sinking a stunning Hail Mary fling over the outstretched arms of lanky beast Mo Konateh plus the foul with just 24.1 seconds to go, 56-51.
“Well, we just have to give it to FEU. Sean is really doing a great job there, doing what he has with a young team. We just try to grind it out with them. We know it’s going to be a fast-paced game so we just try to keep it simple in our end,” said La Salle head coach Topex Robinson. Konateh, already owning explosive rebounding records of 25 and 26 boards, again reset his personal-best with 27 big caroms to go with 14 points in nearly a full 40-minute run.
