UAAP: Mike Phillips’ one last ride with La Salle ends in UAAP glory

Phillips delivered an outstanding performance in Game 3, scoring a season-high 25 points and grabbing 18 rebounds, leading the Green Archers to their 11th men's basketball title.
He credited his faith, stating, "All glory goes to Jesus Christ. I don't want my name to be remembered at all. I just want to say I'm just a vessel. Jesus used us, Jesus used me to bring more people to His name."
Throughout the Finals series, Phillips averaged 13.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, and one assist.
