Adamson University tallied a crucial win to boost its bid for a Final Four spot.
The Soaring Falcons defeated University of Sto. Tomas, 61-53, at the UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Down 50-40 in the final quarter, the Growling Tigers went on a 10-2 run to get as close as two, 50-52, after a Christian Manaytay basket at the 6:25 mark. But Matthew Montebon and Didap Hanapi found their rhythm to re-establish an 11-point lead, 61-50, after the latter knocked down two straight three-pointers with only 2:50 remaining in the game.
Adamson remained in the fourth spot of the standings as they improved to 5-5, while UST, on the other hand, is on the brink of being eliminated from Final Four contention as they fell to 1-9.
