After a
series of highs and lows throughout the elimination round, finally the Far
Eastern University Tamaraws was able to secure the last spot in the final four
of the 80th season of the men’s basketball of the UAAP after they
beat up the number three seed Adamson Falcons 71-54.
FEU was
able to held on to their slim lead at the first half of the game taking on a
19-17 lead in the opening period and finishing the first half 35-32. But going
to the second half the Tamaraws became more aggressive as they began to pull
away in the third period 52-44 and going to the final period the Tams were able
to push their lead up to 17 points to secure the win and spot in the final
four.
The
Tamaraws were able to sync as one in this game with Arvin Tolentino leading the
scorers with 14 points, followed by Richard Escoto with 11 points, and Prince
Orizu with a double-double 10 points and 12 rebounds.
FEU barged
in to the final four for the 9th time in 10 years with a 7-7
win-loss card, their lowest record in 10 years.
The victory
of the Tamaraws over Adamson erases all the chances of UP to atleast push a
play off for the last spot, after they won over the NU Bulldogs in the first
game 106-81.
