Photo handout from NGBL.</div>MANILA — University of Santo Tomas was victorious in the Next Generation Basketball League (NGBL) National Heroes&#x27; Day offering on Monday after it triumphed over Arellano University to stay perfect in Group B.The Tiger Cubs won their second outing in as many games at the Aero Center in Quezon City with Racine Kane serving as the hero for UST, putting up a massive 26-point, 20-rebound performance on top of three steals to be named as the World Balance Player of the Game. &quot;I&#x27;m happy to be here, [and with my performance], it is because we have a great system. But in the first half, we thought the game was easy. In the second half, we just said that we got to play hard,&quot; Kane said, pointing out how the Braves stormed back in the last 17 minutes of gameplay after trailing by as big as 23, 37-60. Arellano, through the efforts of Jax Distrito, John Mendoza, Chris Dy, and Alonzo Austria got to within 10, 60-50, in a span of three minutes to stay within hunt of their second win in the NGBL.AU even got to as close as one, 76-75, after Sean Kionel Franco hit a trey at the 5:45 mark of the final canto, but unfortunately for them, it was the nearest that they could get as Kane and Liam Acido went on to pick up the slack for UST to rebuild a nine-point cushion following a triple by the former at the 3:33 mark.Johnray Ladica headed the charge for Arellano with 23 points, five rebounds, and two steals, but it went for naught as they absorbed their second defeat in three games.On the other hand, to open the third and last day of the NGBL&#x27;s long weekend offerings, Lyceum of the Philippines University reset the league&#x27;s highest scoring record so far after it defeated MGC New Life Christian Academy, 105-46.The Junior Pirates moved up to 1-1 in Group B after they led by as much as 60, but for WB Player of the Game Lamarcus Pelayo, it was their defense that made wonders for them.&quot;Yung depensa po namin ang sinasabi ni coach na importante para manalo kami,&quot; said Pelayo, who had 12 points, six rebounds, three steals, and an assist.&quot;Tapos sa susunod, kailangan po naming trabahuhin pa ulit yung depensa, box out, and opensa para manalo ulit kami,&quot; he added.And while MGC remained winless in three games, for their part, some of the few bright spots for them were Adrian Tan who top scored with 15, and Trey Chua and Adam Uy who had 11 and 10, respectively.To close out the day, University of Perpetual Help System DALTA dominated Xavier School, 94-48.The Junior Altas opened the game with a 22-10 advantage and never looked back from thereon as they separated themselves from their hapless opponents by as huge 46 later on, all thanks to the efforts of TJ Tabbuan who again received the WB Player of the Game honors after tallying 16 points, five rebounds, and two steals.&quot;Sabi ni coach Jeoph Cleopas, ‘wag naming i-underestimate yung aming mga kalaban namin,&quot; noted, pointing out how they approached Xavier despite them entering the game with two losses in as many games. &quot;Dapat i-laro lang namin yung dapat naming laruin,&quot; continued Tabbuan whose team is now 3-0 in Group A. Meanwhile, Andrew Choa and Gavin Uy led Xavier with 12 points each, while Jadrien Tan scored 10.<div>The scores:</div><div>First Game:</div>LPU 105 — Pelayo 12, Conde 11, Enguio 10, Peña 9, Julio 8, Melchor 7, Altamirano 7, Tumo 7, Dag-um 7, Abrantes 6, Panerio 6, Yonzon 5, Olaes 4, Fuentes 3, Nodalo 3.MGC 46 — A.
