UAAP: UST Tigers show they’re more than the sum of their wins
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers snapped their two-game losing streak in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament by defeating the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws.
UST secured the victory with a final score of 83-72, primarily led by the strong performances of Forth Padrigao and Mo Tounkara.
Forth Padrigao contributed significantly with 14 points, 11 assists, and four rebounds, while Mo Tounkara dominated the boards with 21 points and 17 rebounds.
UST deputy Japs Cuan highlighted Padrigao's leadership in rallying the team, especially after a slump in the third quarter during their previous games.
The win improved UST's standing to 4-3 at the conclusion of the first round of the tournament.
Despite FEU closing the gap to a mere five points in the final minutes, UST responded with a crucial four-point run to seal the win.
