Padrigao expressed regret about giving the Thomasians something to celebrate this weekend, but he said that they will just hope to bounce back in their next assignments. </p><p>&quot;Wala akong masabi sa UST crowd, grabe ramdam na ramdam namin yung effort nila sa pagchi-cheer.

Talagang learnings pa rin talaga. I mean, kailan ba kami naka-experience ng ganitong mga sitwasyon? Against La Salle, etong Ateneo,&quot; he said. &quot;Nakikita ko naman yung team namin na talagang nage-effort and tinitignan nila kung ano yung pwedeng matutunan each game. Naguusap usap kami. Talo na kami, next play na kami lagi.&quot;</p><p>He also touched on his crucial turnover, saying that it will eventually contribute to him improving more as UST&#x27;s court general. </p><p>&quot;Yung learnings na ganunm talagang makukuha namin yun pag na-experience namin yung bagay na yun,&quot; said Padrigao, who also missed a crucial free throw in their previous overtime loss to De La Salle University last Wednesday.</p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s two straight games, wala pa rin kaming nagawa, pero natututo pa din naman kasi kami yung team naminm &#x27;di naman yan buo na agad. It&#x27;s not an excuse, but then kailangan na namin yung next four games namin. Sana yung mga end-game situations for our past two games, may ma-learn kami doon and madala sa upcoming games namin,&quot; he emphasized.</p><p>The Tigers will hope to bounce back and end their losing skid next Sunday, October 27, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.</p><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/NidGGeud_C8?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span></span><br/></div>
