But Ricardo maintained that these wins are only part of the bigger picture of rebuilding the proud basketball program of the Intramuros cagers after their disastrous NCAA Season 99 campaign.“Malayo pa. Madami pang dapat ayusin sa kanila, pero I’m happy naman na nagre-respond naman &#x27;yung mga bata sa mga pinapagawa sa kanila. The most important sa akin is ma-change &#x27;yung personality nila on-and-off the court,” he added.Up by 12, 75-63, after a basket by Galoy at the 3:51 mark of the fourth, Raymart Escobido and Tristan Felebrico rallied the Stags and brought them to within one, 80-79, after a triple by the latter with only nine ticks left in the game.Joseph Nunag went one-of-two from the foul line while Jonathan Manalili blanked his pair of foul shots to leave the door open for SSC-R with only 1.5 seconds remaining, but Nunag got the offensive glass to finally deprive San Sebastian of stealing the game away from Letran.Felebrico finished with 15 points and nine rebounds for the Stags, Reggz Gabat had 14, Ameer Aguilar contributed 13, and Escobido scored 12.In another NCAA faceoff, Mapua University thwarted Jose Rizal University, 93-89.Leading the Cardinals was Season 99 ROTY-MVP Clint Escamis who finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and two dimes, while Marc Cuenco, Chris Hubilla, and Yam Concepcion followed him with 14, 12, and 12, respectively.The Heavy Bombers, for their part, was led by Mart Barrera’s 19-point, five-rebound game, while Darryl Garcia backstopped him with 14.On the other hand, De La Salle-College of St. Benilde dominated Arellano University, 72-58.Matthew Oli made wonders for the Blazers as he finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and two assists, and helping him was Allen Liwag who had 10 markers and six boards.The Chiefs, for their part, were led by Ernjay Geronimo top-scored for them with 12 points and five rebounds, while Mav Vinoya finished with 11. Meanwhile, University of Perpetual Help System DALTA overcame Lyceum of the Philippines University, 76-72, through the efforts of John Boral (17 points, eight rebounds, one assist) and Chris Pagaran (13 points and 10 rebounds).This, in turn, spoiled not only the Pirates’ once 13-point cushion, but also John Barba’s 23-point, seven-rebound, five-assist game as well as Mac Guadaña’s 16 markers, four boards, and four dimes.In the lone UAAP game today, Far Eastern University dismantled Ateneo de Manila University, 65-46, after a dominant fourth quarter from the Tamaraws.Veejay Pre paced FEU with 14 points and seven rebounds, while the Blue Eagles banked on Shaun Tuano and Chris Koon who each had 11, and Mason Amos who finished with nine.
