UNIVERSITY of the Philippines grabbed last weekend’s spotlight by inflicting a 76-71 overtime loss to Ateneo in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines basketball tournament before a roaring crowd of more than 12,000 at the MOA Arena in Pasay City.Just when everybody thought UP was all set to clinch it in regulation, Forthsky Padrigao, the foxiest of Ateneo’s guards, flung a three from Manila Bay, the ball hitting nothing but net.
And then in overtime, Padrigao threatened again. He buried another triple from beyond the center line, the ball hitting the front rim, bounced off the glass and found the bottom of the goal. That moved Ateneo to within two with still plenty of ticks remaining. It was UP’s third overtime win over Ateneo the last two years, including two in the Finals last year that led to the Maroons’ thrilling title triumph.
