UST upsets heavily-favored UE
The University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers scored another huge upset, scuttling the highly favored University of the East Red Warriors, 91-77, in the 69th UAAP men's basketball at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Sunday.
The Growling Tigers, displaying a new attitude in the game, were on a scoring rampage late in the first two quarters en route to an insurmountable 47-28 first half lead. UST outscored UE in second frame, 32-10, to earn them that big halftime lead.
Unleashing their vaunted running game to the fullest, the Tigers posted a 49-28 lead in the third period behind Jervy Cruz's jumper. After that, UST never threatened.
Shooting guard Jojo Duncil paced the Tigers' offense with 25 points-on a 3-of-4 sniping in the three-point zone and a 5-of-8 shooting in the field-and grabbed seven rebounds.
"It was a different Jojo (Duncil) that I saw in this game," said UST coach Pido Jarencio. "In the past, he doesn't have an outside shot but now he continuous to improve on it and I'm so glad to see it."
Rookie Jervy Cruz took charge in the paint, exploding for 22 points and hauling down 10 rebounds, while Anthony Espiritu added 10 points and Japs Cuan had 12 points to move Santo Tomas U in second and third spots and tied UP with a 2-1 slate.
"It's nice to win against UE, which is our rival even before. But the situation is different because we're the coach now, but beating a favored team like UE is so special since our team isn't included among the top favorites," explained Jarencio.
Marcy Arellano had 21 points while Elmer Espiritu provided ten points and 10 rebounds for UE in a losing effort. Bonbon Custodio had 17 points but committed 10 turnovers.
Box scores:
UST (91) - Duncil 25, Cruz 22, Cuan 12, Espiritu 10, Evangelista 7, Cortez 6, Ababou 4, Allera 3, Canlas 2, Gile 0, Taylor 0.
UE (77) - Arellano 21, Custodio 17, Espiritu 10, Labagala 8, Borboran 8, Thiele 6, Canizares 5, Gregorio 2, Linganay 0, Llagas 0, Bandaying 0, Martinez 0.
Quarter scores: 16-18; 47-28; 71-60; 91-77
