After a promising start in the first round, the Tigers absorbed heartbreakers against the University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, and Ateneo de Manila University — with the one versus the Blue Eagles even being on their home floor. <div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/27/uaap-ust-spoils-veejay-pres-career-game-escapes-feu-2033">READ: UST spoils Veejay Pre&#x27;s career game, escapes FEU</a></div>&quot;It was a total team effort,&quot; said Jarenio during the postgame presser at the Mall of Asia Arena. &quot;Lahat nag-contribute, coaching staff, mga players. Tapos three-game losing streak kaya kailangang makabalik. Nag-trabaho yung mga bata tapos breakout game kay Kyle Paranada,&quot; he added.Their losing skid put their hopes of returning to the Final 4 in peril as teams such as Ateneo, FEU, and Adamson University, were previously tied with them at six losses before this game date. That is why according to Jarencio, every remaining UST assignment will be an elimination game, and that includes the one against the Tamaraws.&quot;Basta kami ang iniisip namin yung last 4 games, parang ano ito, do-or-die game ang mindset namin. Kaya yung mga bata, they really worked hard para manalo lang today,&quot; he pointed out.Aside from hailing his players, Jarencio, being relieved of returning to the win column, also thanked their backers and even hailed the diehards that stayed with them amidst the losing streak.<div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1730042932492UAAP S87 MBB - Coach Pido Jarencio-08726.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>UST head coach Pido Jarencio.

Tapos mga sponsors namin, si Boss Alfrancis [Chua] andiyan, sumusporta,&quot; he said.&quot;Ang regret ko lang, yung mga true fans namin na andiyan, yung mga UST fans na manalo o matalo andiyan. Kokonti sila ngayon dahil puro kami talo eh. Pagka nananalo, andiyan sila lahat.&quot;However, it was not only their fans that got mentioned, as even his &#x27;bashers&#x27; — as he described — caught a stray from the outspoken mentor. &quot;Ang dami kong bashers, I love you all. Mamatay na kayong lahat,&quot; he quipped. &quot;Ganun lang. Basta sakin, basta kami, laban lang, laro lang kami. Laban kami. Itong team na ito. Laban lang &#x27;to. &quot;Sa mga fans namin na tunay, manood kayo. Kung hindi kayo tunay, okay lang, kahit limang libo lang yung nanonood sa amin ngayon. Okay lang kami roon.&quot;Jarencio then went on to prematurely exit the presser to, according to him, avoid himself from baring more words, wanted or unwanted. &quot;Thank you, wala na akong kailangan sabihin, baka mas marami pa kong masabi,&quot; he said. &quot;Ewan ko na lang. Thank you.&quot; <div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">WATCH: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/89L3mk1zIpk?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
