Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News</figcaption></figure></div>Coach Jamike Jarin breathed a sigh of relief after National University salvaged a 75-70 win over Aldin Ayo-mentored University of Santo Tomas on Saturday.The Bulldogs squandered a double-digit lead when a young Tigers squad mounted rally after rally late in the game.Fortunately, Jarin’s charges led by Sean Ildefonso were able to hold off UST.“We’re not satisfied. We played really good in the third quarter then all of a sudden we did not play selfless in the fourth quarter,” said Jarin.“That only shows we really have a young team. What I’ve been telling everybody especially these young men, we need to mature fast in order to compete this season.”Jarin’s Bulldogs boast a far superior lineup, compared to Ayo’s Tigers.They have the likes of Gilas cadet Troy Rike and Ildefonso siblings Sean and Shaun.But UST still managed to force a tight game in the fourth period especially after CJ Cansino began connecting from the perimeter.“A win is a win, but you have to give credit to UST’s coaching staff led by coach Aldin Ayo,” said Jarin.“We had a 17-point lead then all of a sudden they kept coming back and coming back. We need to fix things and get better.” It was also Jarin’s first win against Ayo since joining the UAAP.When asked about the subject, the NU coach said it was “good to know.”“He’s a very good coach, but I don’t see (the rivalry) as ganu’n . . . it’s good to know.”(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.)

Jarin liked the Bulldogs' third-quarter play. Their performance in the fourth? Not so much.
