Welcome to the online edition of Manila Standard (MS), a nationally circulated newspaper published daily in the Philippines since February 1987.
University of the Philippines used a 31-point second period to dominate University of Santo Tomas, 110-79, for its fifth straight win the UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Saturday.
“After the first half, we talked about yung defense namin, defense was not that good in the first half. We picked up especially in the third quarter so yun yung parang nagdefine ng game nung second half,” said Fighting Maroons Head Coach Goldwin Momteverde. “Happy lang ako sa team namin kasi coming from a bad team, naka bounce back kami. Hindi man maganda yung first half namin, nag focus kami sa defense and ginawa namin yung sinabi ni Coach Gold,” said Harold Alarcon, who had 21 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
