The 6-foot-7 prospect also had eight rebounds and three assists to help FEU-Diliman win their fourth straight game and stay at solo second.&quot;Ang masasabi ko lang ay siyempre, masaya kami ng buong team kasi pinagtrabahuan namin makuha tong second place pagkatapos ng first round. Pero gayunpaman, malayo pa yung tatahakin namin. Move on po kami and then mag go hard pa kami lalo,&quot; said Cariño after the game.A clutch three-pointer by Theodore Lim gave UST a 78-76 lead with 3:19 left, but Cariño responded with seven straight points to give the Baby Tamaraws an 83-78 advantage.Two free throws by Andwele Cabañero and a layup by Jhon Canapi made it a one-possession game, 83-81, but Cariño and CP Miranda combined to keep FEU-Diliman in control, 87-81 with just 1:01 left in the contest. A jumper by Miranda with just 26.1 seconds to play iced the game for the Baby Tamaraws.&quot;Thankful kami sa players kasi sila naman yung nagtrabaho,&quot; said FEU legend Arwind Santos, now an assistant coach for the Baby Tamaraws. &quot;Pero hindi namin kailangan maging kampante kasi hindi naman ito hanggang first round lang eh diba? Ang target talaga namin ay yung tuktok at makuha yung trophy. Kaya para sa amin, it’s not enough. Meron pa rin kaming i-improve talaga—marami pa.&quot;CP Miranda, the son of FEU head of basketball operations Denok Miranda, followed Cariño’s lead with 18 points, five assists, and six rebounds. Lakay Pasinos, a recruit from Iguig Central School in Cagayan, contributed a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Mark Dulin filled the stat sheet with 11 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and three steals.Canapi, who fouled out with 1:01 remaining, led the Tiger Cubs with 29 points—hitting 6-of-14 from beyond the arc—while also grabbing seven rebounds and making five steals.

We have never beaten a team above sa amin. Sabi ko sa kanila to take it as a challenge. Kunin natin itong panalo na ito and then eventually baka makuha namin yung inaasam naming Final Four. Yun muna.
