Basta ang sa amin lang, being on top, there&#x27;s a prize for that. Target ka ng ibang teams. To be able to be consistent, hindi tayo magpabaya. Hindi yung okay lang.

The task at hand is winning every game,&quot; he added.Earlier in the day, UST followed up its upset over Adamson by beating De La Salle-Zobel, 78-66, while National University Nazareth School edged out Ateneo, 62-61.With a 7-2 record, the second-running Bullpups remained a game ahead of the Tiger Cubs, who rose to 6-3 in solo third.Later, Far Eastern University-Diliman seized the fourth spot with a 5-4 card following an 87-61 rout of UP Integrated School.Andrei Dungo scored 16 of his 26 points in the second half and logged 13 rebounds, six assists, and six steals to lead UST in extending its winning streak to three games.
