The UP Fighting Maroons saw a hero in Gerry Abadiano as he nailed a crucial go-ahead shot in the final minute of the match against DLSU.
MANILA – The University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons saw a hero in Gerry Abadiano as he nailed a crucial go-ahead shot in the final minute of the match against De La Salle University.
“Siguro ginagawa ko lang 'yung role ko sa team namin. Kung may open shot, ta-try ko lang. It’s all about timing lang naman. 'Di ko naman pwede i-force 'yung mga tira ko. Na-swertehan lang siguro na 'yung mga tira ko ay pumapasok,” he told the media. In the process, this allowed UP to drop a fiery 21-0 run to overturn the table heading to the final period, 59-50.
