UAAP: NU overcomes UE to secure twice-to-beat bonus
National University (NU) secured the first twice-to-beat advantage in the UAAP Season 88 men's basketball Final Four after a comeback 83-74 victory over University of the East (UE).
The Bulldogs erased an 18-point deficit, trailing by as much as 52-35 in the third quarter before mounting runs to take the lead.
Jolo Manansala led NU with a season-high 21 points, supported by Jake Figueroa and Omar John with 14 points each, and PJ Palacielo adding 11.
NU improved their standing to 11-2, while UE remains winless at 0-13 despite Tope Lagat's 17 points and Precious Momowei's 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Head coach Jeff Napa attributed their slow start to the team being too relaxed in the first half.
