UST Tigers face Final Four pressure after three straight losses

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tigers are facing increasing pressure in the UAAP Season 87 Final Four race following three consecutive losses, bringing their record to 4-6.

Key player Forthsky Padrigao expressed the team's urgent need for victories, noting that competitiveness alone is no longer enough to secure a Final Four spot.

Padrigao took responsibility for crucial errors, including a late turnover, in their recent overtime loss to La Salle and a subsequent 67-64 home loss to Ateneo, which could have altered game outcomes.

Despite these setbacks, Padrigao remains optimistic that the Growling Tigers will regain their form with four games remaining in their bid to return to the Final Four.

He also lamented failing to secure a historic home win against Ateneo, despite strong support from the UST crowd.
