According to Lastimosa, Jerie Pinggoy has expressed his intention not to return next season, giving the Dumaguete native a chance to get the starting position.&quot;Si Pinggoy kasi parang ayaw na maglaro next year. So, ine-expect ko na ako na ang point guard next season,&quot; Lastimosa said.

Pero &#x27;di pala sa amin,&quot; he lamented. Down by two in the dying seconds of the overtime, he attempted to knock down a possible game-winner three but missed the mark. Despite the letdown, the 5-foot-10 Falcons guard revealed he did not expect to play solidly in his first UAAP season, citing inexperience in that type of atmosphere and level of competition in the premiere collegiate league. &quot;Nu&#x27;ng paglipat ko rito [Adamson], di ko in-expect na mako-contain ko &#x27;yung laro ko mula sa Dumaguete papunta rito kasi siyempre di pa ko naka-realize sa UAAP,&quot; the Adamson cager said. &quot;Pero sinubukan ko &#x27;yung laro ko sa Dumaguete, inilaro ko rito.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/28/18/uaap-atin-to-philosophy-lifts-up-hero-paul-desiderio-amid-shooting-woes">UAAP: ‘Atin ’to’ philosophy lifts UP hero Paul Desiderio amid shooting woes</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/28/18/uaap-how-juan-gdl-up-responded-after-adamson-sends-game-to-ot">UAAP: How Juan GDL, UP responded after Adamson sends game to OT</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/sports/11/28/18/watch-highlights-of-the-heart-stopping-adamson-up-soap-opera-game">WATCH: Highlights of the heart-stopping Adamson-UP ‘soap-opera’ game</a></li></ul>While it was a defeat for the San Marcelino-based squad, Lastimosa remained grateful. &quot; &#x27;Yung pinakita lang namin ay magandang laban. Pero ganoon talaga, talo pa rin. Nagkulang kami sa last 5 minutes,&quot; Lastimosa added. He was also overwhelmed with the mammoth crowd present at the Araneta Coliseum, thanking the Adamson community for its support. Nearly 21,000 fans trooped to the coliseum to watch how the history unfolded. Lastimosa, who still has four more playing years, has assured that he will help the team mature in the next seasons.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/28/18/uaap-why-up-coach-bo-perasol-doesnt-mind-being-underdogs-to-ateneo">UAAP: Why UP coach Bo Perasol doesn’t mind being underdogs to Ateneo</a></li></ul>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
