They climbed to 7-1 in the UAAP Season 87 team standings, entering the second round on a clean slate.</p><p>What makes the win more important for UP head coach Goldwin Monteverde is how his troops reacted and regrouped following the in-game spat between the Maroons and the Green Archers that dominated the discourse in the aftermath of the contest.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/13/uaap-up-comes-alive-in-the-fourth-to-overwhelm-ust-2102">READ: Lopez, Fortea shine as UP comes alive in the fourth to overwhelm UST</a></div><p>&quot;Being consistent nga with like we always said nung first round, responding to the challenge at hand, I believe the team worked together,&quot; Monteverde said following their 83-73 win at the Araneta Coliseum. </p><p>UP and La Salle went through an eventful week heading into this play date.</p><p>A lot of claims were made by both the Fighting Maroons and the Green Archers camps regarding spitting allegations, verbal exchanges and the like, but Monteverde maintained that all of those are now in the past. </p><p>&quot;Online wise, &#x27;di ko naman alam yung kung anong lumalabas sa usapin,&quot; said the UAAP champion coach. </p><p>&quot;I guess nagdesisyon narin yung UAAP. Syempre kami, we&#x27;ll abide by it and I&#x27;m sure naman on our part, &#x27;di naman yun basta desisyon lang na ginawa nila. Pinag-isipan ng maayos, nag-meeting ng maayos, so samin, syempre we would respect that.&quot;</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/12/topex-ups-torres-given-stern-warnings-for-unsportsmanlike-conduct-1652">READ: UAAP issues &#x27;stern warnings&#x27; to Robinson, Torres for &#x27;unsportsmanlike conduct&#x27;</a></div><p>&quot;Nangyari ang nangyari. Of course at the end of the day, diba, I&#x27;m very confident naman na the UAAP would be very strict on na wala nang mangyayari na insidente na pagdudura or something na ganung bagay sa game and for me, what&#x27;s important is yung syempre yung well-being ng mga players — si Reyland [Torres], lahat ng involved diyan, and hopefully lang, siguro, hindi na mangyayari ulit yun,&quot; he added.</p><p>Also expressing similar sentiments was Torres himself. </p><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1728829949780IMG_5304.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="UP guard Reyland Torres.

Hinayaan ko na yun, isinantabi ko na yun,&quot; he insisted. &quot;Mas mahalaga yung team namin, mas mahalaga yung bawat isa sa amin. Siguro tapos na po yun. May goal kami as a team, so, yun na lang doon na lang kami mag-focus,&quot; added Reyland, while also reacting to the decision that was made by the UAAP. </p><p>&quot;Okay lang naman sa akin. Siguro pinag-isipan kasi nila talaga yun at naging patas naman sila. Sa part nila, mas mahirap talaga mag-isip. Kung ano man naging desisyon nila, thankful din ako. Ipasasa-Diyos na lang natin.&quot;</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Di ko itataya yung team namin sa incident na yun, so nag-focus na lang ako sa team,&quot; he added. </p><p>Both Torres and La Salle coach Topex Robinson received &quot;stern warnings&quot; from the UAAP for unsportsmanlike behavior, though the league also said that they found no concrete evidence to back up the allegations of spitting or use of profanity during the incident.</p><p>Robinson had broken his silence on the issue on Saturday following the Green Archers&#x27; win over the University of the East, where he expressed his side of the situation while also revealing that a certain woman shouted at him after the incident. He also alleged that he was called &quot;squatter&quot; following the events of the game.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/12/la-salle-avenges-1st-round-loss-halts-ues-winning-streak-1606">READ: UAAP: Phillips tallies 27-17 stat line as La Salle halts UE&#x27;s winning streak</a></div><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/12/emotional-robinson-breaks-silence-on-spitting-allegations-2224">READ: Emotional Robinson breaks silence on spitting allegations</a></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);min-height:13.8px"><span></span><br/></div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K9c8RvYrY-M?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
