MANILA, Philippines — Hot-shooting University of the East broke wide open a close game to speed past the struggling University of Santo Tomas, 85-68, in the 2013 FilOil Flying V Premier Cup Saturday, May 18.
Jay-ar Sumido had a splendid shooting night, draining all four three-point attempts — three in a game-changing run in the second quarter — to power the Recto-based squad to victory.
With Sumido on fire, the Red Warriors turned a slim 25-23 advantage to a humongous 44-28 margin at half time, never looking back as they dealt the Growling Tigers yet another loss.
Roi Sumang posted 15 points and eight assists while Ralf Olivarez led UE with 17 markers and hit all seven of his shot attempts.
UST managed to stage a mini-run in the third period and trimmed the lead to single digits, but Sumag took charge and shut the door on the Tigers’ comeback attempt.
The Espana five shot a harrowing 34% from the field for the game.
“We can’t be complacent,” said UE coach Boycie Zamar. “Today, we faced a UAAP finalist. We have to be realistic. This is a character-formation team and I think we’re getting to where we want to be.” – Rappler.com
