Pag landing niya, pag tapak niya, maga na kaagad,&quot; detailed Coach Charles of their guard who even exited the arena in a wheelchair. &quot;I don&#x27;t know how long he&#x27;ll be out. We&#x27;ll have to get an X-ray right away. Hopefully wala namang fracture. But obviously, big loss for us.&quot;</p><p>Moving on to the second round, the Converge FiberXers assistant is challenging his team to level up their game more if they want to live up to their billing as one of, if not, the favorites to win it all this season. </p><p>&quot;We&#x27;re happy that we&#x27;re number one, but obviously, we would have wanted a bit more breathing room kasi dikit-dikit lahat ng teams. We definitely want to get the twice-the-beat advantage sa Final 4 if we do make it,&quot; Tiu said.</p><p>&quot;Still, we still have a lot to clean up. The turnovers are the number one concern. Hopefully, we can also get healthy a bit because we still are dealing with some other injuries and sickness. I also always remind them, number one, we have to be humble because they haven&#x27;t accomplished anything talaga,&quot; he pointed out.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/1/ncaa-tiu-disappointed-with-blazers-after-near-meltdown-vs-stags-1516">READ: Tiu disappointed with Blazers after near-meltdown vs. Stags</a></div><p>Meanwhile, the Heavy Bombers, who fell to 3-6 in the standings, were led by Joshua Guiab who had a career-best 24 points on top of seven rebounds, three assists, and a steal.</p><p>Also standing out for the Louie Gonzales-coached squad were Marvin Raymundo and Joseph Pangilinan who each scored 12. </p><div><strong>THE SCORES:</strong></div><p>CSB 84 – Ancheta 17, Cometa 15, Liwag 12, Sangco 12, Sanchez 12, Ondoa 9, Torres 5, Jarque 2, Eusebio 0, Cajucom 0, Ynot 0, Serrano 0.</p><p>JRU 69 – Guiab 24, Raymundo 12, Pangilinan 12, Argente 5, Mosqueda 5, Bernardo 3, De Jesus 2, Panapanaan 2, Garcia 2, Ferrer 2, Ramos 0, Benitez 0, De Leon 0, Sarmiento 0, Barrera 0.</p><p>Quarterscores: 27-17, 55-29, 70-47, 84-69.</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)"><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/9nsdRK5FYGE?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
