UAAP MediaThe Bullpups, on the other hand, suffered their second consecutive defeat to drop to fifth place with a 5-6 card, half-a-game behind the Junior Archers, with three games left in the eliminations. </div>&quot;Sabi ko nga, dapat maging sigurista na tayo dahil dulo na ng season. Wala nang room for error ito hanggang magstart yung semifinals. Talagang sigurista ka na talaga dapat para masure yung ticket namin sa Final Four,&quot; UST head coach Noli Mejos said. The trio of Jhon Canapi, Dustin Bathan, and Miguel Jubilado powered the Tiger Cubs’ 17-7 run to close the third frame, converting a slim 43-42 lead to a comfortable 11-point cushion, 60-49, entering the payoff period.A layup by Andwele Cabañero, a Canapi three-pointer, and an inside hit from Lohann Villacarlos gave UST a commanding 75-60 lead with 3:50 left on the clock to seal its sixth win in 10 outings and replicate its 84-83 first round win over NUNS last Sept. 21.Canapi bounced back from a poor showing against UE with 22 points, six rebounds, five assists, and one steal, while Cabañero contributed 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting to go along with six rebounds, four assists, and one steal.Jubilado tallied 16 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks, while Bathan nearly played a no-relief game, ending the day with 15 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 38 minutes and 53 seconds of action. The Junior Archers, who were reeling from an 79-83 loss to Season 86 runner-ups FEU-D Baby Tamaraws in their last outing, snagged an all-important win to gain control of solo fourth place in the standings with a 5-5 record.With their 11th consecutive loss, the Fighting Maroons are the first team in the tournament to be eliminated from the Final Four. &quot;Minotivate ko sila nung mga times na naghahabol kami. Pinaalala ko ulit kung ano possible na mangyari kung manalo or matalo dito, so doon sila nagsimula magtrabaho dahil nakakuha sila ng motivation,&quot; DLSZ head coach Penny Laureaga said. A triple by Jhustin Hallare and a layup from Kean Poquiz allowed UPIS to stay in the game with a 68-65 deficit in the payoff period, but back-to-back triples and a floater from Ram Luna propelled DLSZ back to an 11-point cushion, 76-65, with less than 2:30 left on the clock.Ram Luna’s late surge allowed the Junior Archers to snag their fifth win in 10 outings and to further assert their mastery over the Fighting Maroons, whom they defeated with a 75-65 first round decision last October 6. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1731480309615UAAP87 JHSBB - Vince Magan-0473.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="La Salle&#x27;s Vince Magan in action agianst UPIS in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament, November 13, 2024 at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion Arena.
