FEU comes from behind to beat UP, extend winning streak

ALYSA SALEN/Business Mirror

The Tamaraws rally from a 20-point deficit to win their seventh straight and get at least a playoff for the Final Four

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – After an abysmal start to the game, the FEU Tamaraws dominated the last 3 quarters against the UP Fighting Maroons to come away with a 63-60 victory, and extend their winning streak to 7 games on Saturday, October 22, at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.

Down 28-8 after 10 minutes of play, FEU amped up the pressure on the defensive end and was dominant on the glass to get back in the contest. The Maroons had a shot at forcing overtime late, but a miss by Jett Manuel sealed his team’s defeat.

Raymar Jose led the winning side with 20 points and 12 rebounds. FEU out-rebounded UP on the glass, 52-39, and scored 19 second chance points.

UP was led by the 16 point, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists of Manuel, while Paul Desiderio pitched in 13 points. The loss was the second straight the Maroons, who fell to 3-8 in Season 79. The Tamaraws, on the other hand, improved to 8-2.  – Rappler.com
