Season 86 runaway MVP Kevin Quiambao dismayed over Game 1 performance
Kevin Quiambao, the UAAP Season MVP, admitted dismay over his subpar performance and De La Salle University's Game 1 loss to the University of the Philippines, citing surprise at UP's defense and a failure to adjust.
He acknowledged that the team played outside of coach Topex Robinson's system and lacked resiliency, resulting in their nine-game winning streak being broken.
La Salle committed 18 turnovers, which UP capitalized on for 24 points, and shot poorly from beyond the arc, converting only 2 of 23 attempts.
Quiambao is set to be crowned as the league's first local MVP since Kiefer Ravena in 2014 and 2015.
