UST defeats UP in OT

UAAP Season 73 1st Round
UP Fighting Maroons vs UST Growling Tigers
UST wins in OT 87-81

The UP Fighting Maroons had a big chance to win its first game this UAAP Season (and first without Coach Aboy Castro) but crucial turnovers and missed free throws extended the game into overtime and eventually the Maroons lost to the Growling Tigers 87-81. Woody Co missed two free throws in the 4th quarter which should have given UP a 3pt lead, with UP leading by a point with 6.2 seconds left in the regulation.

Then in the next sequence a double lane violation was called that resulted in a jump ball situation where Jeric Teng got the ball and was fouled by Mike Silungan (It was just a small bump but the referees still called a crucial foul) with 3.5sec left. Teng missed the first free throw and made the second to send the game into overtime.

Jeric Fortuna of UST had the hot hands with 29pts and 8 out of 10 from three point range including a rare 4-point play from a foul from Magi Sison in OT. It was actually a good game by UP with Interim Coach Potit de Vera calling the shots in the 1st half but in the 2nd half, it was clear that Consultant Boyet Fernandez who was the one making plays during timeouts.

The Fighting Maroons improved offensively specially Magi Sison who top scored for UP with 19 points along with Martin Reyes who was also on fire from three point range also with 19. But it came down to making free throws and taking care of the ball in the last few minutes which UP really needs to improve the next few games.

Mike Silungan, Woody Co, Mark Lopez and Alvin Padilla were the only other players from UP who scored a basket.

UP Fight!
