UAAP: FEU's Eboña thrown out of semis game vs. UST

MANILA, Philippines -- Already down by a massive margin against University of Santo Tomas (UST), Far Eastern University (FEU) received another blow as veteran big man Barkley Eboña was thrown out of the game late in the second quarter.

Eboña was caught throwing an elbow on UST big man Soulemane Chabi Yo with 1:19 left to play, after the Beninese player converted a layup.

He was assessed a disqualifying foul, after already getting an unsportsmanlike foul earlier in the period.
