MANILA, Philippines — Jeric Teng came through in crunch time to lead University of Santo Tomas to a pulsating 63-58 overtime win over De La Salle University in the 76th UAAP men’s basketball tournament Saturday, June 29, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
After giving up an 11-point lead late in regulation, the Growling Tigers held fort in the extra period, with Teng delivering a jumper that gave them a 58-53 advantage — a cushion that proved to be enough to jumpstart UST’s title bid this year.
Almond Vosotros drilled a 3-pointer to cut the Tigers’ lead to 58-56, but two free-throws from Teng restored it to 4, 60-56.
Jason Perkins quickly scored for the Green Archers on the other end with 28.7 seconds remaining before Aljon Mariano iced the game with 3 more freebies.
Teng finished with a game-high 23 points in 43 minutes while Karim Abdul overcame a 6-turnover night to post 17 markers, 10 rebounds, two steals and 3 blocks.
On the other hand, Vosotros and Perkins each had 13 points for La Salle. – Rappler.com
