Lahat naman siguro tayo dito nakakaramdam ng pressure, even kayo, nakakaramdam,&quot; said the former Tamaraw. </p><p>&quot;Kumbaga sakin, tine-take ko lang yung pressure na yun, [pero] kailangan hindi ipakita. So kailangan talaga trabahuhin ko kung ano yung dapat trabahuhin, and alam ko naman kasi na hindi ako nagiisa sa pwesto na yun.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Andiyan yung mga staff, nakikinig silang lahat sakin so di siya mahirap pero ayun. Medyo nandito na pala kami, nandito na pala ako,&quot; he added.</p><p>Meanwhile, Chenie Tagaod looked back on the past seasons wherein they fell short of entering the postseason. </p><p>&quot;Nung unang pasok ko sa FEU, yung goal lang namin, &#x27;di bale nang natalo basta may napikon kami,&quot; she quipped.</p><p>&quot;Yun kami dati. Pero nung tumagal nang tumagal, pumasok si Coach [Tina Salak], then hinandle ni Coach Nols, kasi nung una pa lang, si coach Nols talaga yung nakasama, yung unang pasok ko sa FEU.&quot;</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Di niya kami iniwan and talagang ngayon, excited na excited kami and pagta-trabahuhan talaga namin,&quot; she added. </p><p>But despite being in a prime position to finally crack the code, veteran Jean Asis wants her squad to not take their eyes off the ball.</p><p>&quot;Sobrang ginawa po talagang inspiration yung mga nagdaang season since &#x27;di po kami nakapasok, and grabe din po yung mga paghihirap po namin para makapasok for the Final Four,&quot; she said, while even expressing their desires to advance to the deeper rounds.</p><p>&quot;Pero now na [malapit na] yung Final Four, mas ine-aim pa po namin na ipush yung sarili namin na hindi lang yung Final Four yung [goal] namin, kundi makarating rin sa podium finish,&quot; she added.</p><p>For now, they will first shift their focus to facing University of Sto. Tomas whom they will be locking horns against on Saturday, 4 PM, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.</p><p>&quot;Siguro mas gutom kaming bawian talaga si UST kasi yung naramdaman ng mga players noong natalo talaga kami, syempre, masyadong heartbreaking yun kasi up by two kami,&quot; said Refugia.</p><p>&quot;Pero, ayun nga, siguro gamitin namin yung momentum ng wins namin ngayon, maging consistent pa kami and pag-aralan pa naming mabuti how to stop UST and ayun, mag-execute namin, makapaglaro sila ng maayos, mag-deliver, and mabigay yung best, and bahala na sa result,&quot; he concluded. </p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><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/vHbSJDWESTU?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
