In this 3-point win of FEU over NU [62-59], the most unusual stat is the 14-point combined scoring output of both teams in the 4th Quarter. The Bulldogs scored only 5 points, while the Tamaraws scored only 9.
The Tamaraws were able to limit the Jr. to only 4 points from the field.
Bobby Ray scored more from the free throw line [7 pts.]. He totalled 11 points in 34 minutes [only 6 minutes rest]. Three other Bulldogs were able to put in double figures, though. They were Alolino, Ignacio, and Terso.
Not surprisingly, among the Tamaraws, only RR Garcia managed double digits [he had 17 pts.].
Sentcheu put in decent numbers. In 14 minutes on the floor,
Christian contributed 7 markers.
Coach Bert Flores and company knew that they were dealing with a much more dangerous Bulldog team, as compared to last year.
Two rookies, Parks and Tolomia scramble for possession during the endgame. Actually, Mbe put NU ahead by 2 pts. [59-57] with about 3 minutes left but Tolomia's trey at 2:42 had the Tamaraws up by one. And when the Bulldogs failed to score in their next possesion clutch shooter Terence Romeo drilled a two with 1:08 minute left. FEU up by three [62-59].
NU then was able to have 2 more possesions but failed to convert.
The Senior.
More questions now, than answers.
