UE shows no rust, escapes UST
The University of the East (UE) Junior Warriors remain undefeated in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament after a close 80-78 victory against the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tiger Cubs.
Despite a two-week layoff, UE secured their ninth consecutive win, showcasing resilience against a strong comeback attempt by UST.
Gab Delos Reyes and Enrico Bungar were key players for UE, with Delos Reyes scoring the go-ahead basket with 20.5 seconds remaining.
Dustin Bathan led UST's charge with an impressive 31 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals in a no-relief game.
A dominant 20-12 third quarter gave UE the separation they needed, extending a one-point halftime lead to a 67-58 cushion heading into the fourth quarter.
A missed layup by UST in the final seconds sealed the win for UE, ensuring their spot in at least the Final Four playoffs.
