A victory by Far Eastern University in their last game will officially oust the Soaring Falcons from the semifinal race.They also doomed the Red Warriors to a painful 0-14 year, as UE never got on track in a difficult campaign where their head coach, Jack Santiago, only called the shots for four games. Santiago was suspended for two games by the UAAP following his controversial instructions against University of the Philippines in their fourth game. An internal investigation by UE followed, and Santiago was never reinstated. Deputy Jamike Jarin wound up coaching the Red Warriors for the rest of the season.&quot;We took care of business today. But, still a lot of things to improve on,&quot; said Nash Racela, who concluded his first year as Adamson head coach on a winning note. &quot;It&#x27;s a continuous growth for the team and for the players.&quot;Joem Sabandal led Adamson with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, while Vince Magbuhos had 11 points. Jerom Lastimosa, the league&#x27;s leading scorer, had seven points, five rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes. The Soaring Falcons only pulled away late in the game, as UE guard Clint Escamis was able to keep the Red Warriors within striking distance until midway through the fourth quarter.But back-to-back layups by Sabandal and Ricky Peromingan gave them some breathing room, 54-46, with just under five minutes to play. A transition bucket by Kyle Paranada made it a seven-point game, 57-50, with still three minutes to go, but a Joshua Yerro layup and a three-pointer by Magbuhos gave the Falcons a double-digit spread, 62-50, with 70 seconds to play and ended the Red Warriors&#x27; hopes of a comeback. Harvey Pagsanjan led UE with 13 points, and Paranada contributed 12 markers. But it was another poor outing for the Red Warriors, who shot just 28.1% from the field and had more turnovers (11) than assists (7). The Falcons also had a huge 59-38 rebounding advantage; UE&#x27;s primary weapon -- its 3-point shooting -- was absent as they made only 3 of 23 shots from long distance.<div>The scores:</div>ADU 65 -- Sabandal 15, Magbuhos 11, Lastimosa 7, Peromingan 7, Hanapi 6, Yerro 6, Zaldivar 5, Manzano 4, Dounga 3, Colonia 1, Jaymalin 0, Barasi 0, Maata 0, Erolon 0, Calisay 0, Fuentebella 0.UE 53 -- K. Paranada 12, Pagsanjan 11, Escamis 9, Cruz 8, N. Paranada 5, Lorenzana 2, Sawat 2, Villanueva 2, Antiporda 2, Beltran 0, Abatayo 0, Guevarra 0, Tulabut 0, Pascual 0. Quarterscores: 15-16, 30-22, 47-42, 65-53
