Throughout the first round, I saw a lot of things we need to improve on,&quot; UE coach Andrew Estrella said. &quot;Especially this game. This is a bad game for us. For my boys, it&#x27;s not enough to play for 20, 30, or 10 minutes. It should be a full 40 minutes. We&#x27;ve learned a lot of lessons.&quot;Bungar led the Junior Warriors with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals, registering a plus-18 rating in just over 21 minutes of action. Pascual contributed 13 points, four assists, and two steals, while Ethan Oraa added 13 points, three rebounds, three steals, and an assist. Chrys Gomez led the Baby Falcons with 18 points, four assists, and two steals, while Craig Fongtong posted a double-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks.Khiyan Jordan struggled with just eight points on 3-of-12 shooting and committed 11 turnovers, though he added seven rebounds and three assists.

We keep reminding and motivating the boys to play their best. Hopefully, we can win the winnable games in the second round,&quot; said Junior Green Archers head coach Penny Laureaga.For UPIS, Jhustin Hallare, who had a no-relief game, finished with 32 points on 52.4 percent shooting, 11 rebounds, and three assists, but committed nine turnovers. Bruce Tubongbanua nearly recorded a triple-double with 20 points, 23 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.The Baby Falcons ended the round with just one win -- a victory over the listless Fighting Maroons.<div>THE SCORES:</div><div>First game:</div>UE (85) - Bungar 14, Pascual 13, Oraa 12, Delos Reyes 11, Mesina 9, Orca 8, Panganiban 6, Garcia 6, Ferreros 4, Okebata 3, Dalosa 0.ADU (63) - Lopez 18, Fongtong 17, E.
