UAAP Media</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — University of Santo Tomas finally returned to the UAAP Season 87 win column at Far Eastern University&#x27;s expense.The Growling Tigers leaned on Forth Padrigao and Mo Tounkara to defeat the Tamaraws, 83-72, during their men&#x27;s basketball faceoff at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.Padrigao posted 14 points, 11 assists, and four rebounds, while Tounkara had a 21-point, 17-rebound game, and UST deputy Japs Cuan hailed Padrigao&#x27;s prowess that allowed them to end their two-game losing skid. &quot;Credit kay Forthsky kasi gina-gather niya yung team eh,&quot; he said after the game that brought them to 4-3 at the end of the first round.    &quot;Especially ang problem kasi namin for the past two games is after the second half, yung third quarter namin, doon kami medyo nag aalangan. So kanina, even if nakahabol yung FEU, positive lang yung team, and nagtulong tulong. It&#x27;s a big win for us kasi coming from a two-game losing streak, and yung response ng team to stop the losing streak. Sama-sama lang sila kanina and nagfocus kami sa defense,&quot; he added. Only ahead by five, 75-70, with under two minutes left after Veejay Pre scored five straight points, Nic Cabañero and Tounkara answered with a four-point spurt as the former converted a fastbreak while the latter scored on a putback off Nic&#x27;s free-throw miss.Tounkara then regained an 11-point lead for UST, 81-70, after another basket from him off an assist by Padrigao at the 1:23 mark of the game. The UST newcomer said there was a conscious effort from him to set up his fellow Tigers for easier shots. &quot;I think yun yung key talaga sa game namin kasi I think the past two games, our assist and turnover rate, masyadong mataas e. We needed to make some adjustments,&quot; he said.&quot;We are at our best pag we&#x27;re sharing the ball so yun lang ang ginawa rin namin today and thankfully, nagbunga sa panalo,&quot; added Padrigao, who delivered 11 of UST&#x27;s 18 total assists. They only had seven turnovers in the game. Meanwhile, leading the Tamaraws, who fell to 1-6 midway through the men&#x27;s hoops tournament, was Jorick Bautista who had 17 markers, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal, and Pre who posted 14 markers, seven boards, two assists, and a block.<div>The Scores:</div>UST 83 – Tounkara 21, Padrigao 14, Cabanero 13, Crisostomo 11, Manaytay 11, Lane 5, Llemit 2, Calum 2, Danting 2, Acido 2, Pangilinan 0, Estacio 0, Paranada 0.FEU 72 – Bautista 17, Pre 14, Pasaol 13, Daa 11, Konateh 10, Alforque 4, Montemayor 3, Ona 0, Nakai 0, Jones 0, Bagunu 0.Quarterscores: 19-15, 34-32, 59-51, 83-72.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k6mTz_pZIOQ?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
