Ateneo Blue Eagles and UST Tigresses found their winning forms to cap the first-round battles on a high note – thanks to Mason Amos and Kent Pastrana.
After wobbly starts in the UAAP Season 86 basketball tournaments, the Ateneo Blue Eagles and University of Santo Tomas Tigresses found their winning forms to cap the first-round battles on a high note – thanks to Mason Amos and Kent Pastrana, respectively.
In fact, it was his 5-0 spurt that broke the 85-all deadlock with 2:14 left to play in the extra period. He then nailed another basket down the stretch that made it impossible for the Fighting Maroons to mount a comeback as they improved to a 4-3 card. “Honestly, it was a team effort. If we didn’t have all our guys stepping up today, I don’t think we'd get the job done, so props to the team… We really played defense until the final buzzer and we went to OT. So, it was an up-and-down game, I just wanna give credit to the guys because they deserve it,” he told the press.
Meanwhile, Pastrana took it upon herself to pace UST in the women’s division as they recovered from two straight losses with a 90-67 win over Ateneo followed by an 82-66 pummeling of Far Eastern University last Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.
