They overhauled an early 16-4 deficit thanks in large part to Jan Roluna, who put together a 30-point, 8-steal, 4-rebound game on top of one steal.</p><p>&quot;Sinabi po ni coach [Jeoph Cleopas] sa amin na aralin namin yung mga mali sa first half. Kailangan lang daw po naming bumawi sa depensa,&quot; said Roluna, who earned WB Player of the Game honors.</p><p>Trailing by two at halftime, Perpetual opened the second half by scoring six straight points to create a 47-43 lead after a basket by Jericho Cristino. Both teams engaged in a close encounter after that, but the Junior Altas slowly broke away midway through the same frame following a plethora of buckets from Don Rosales, Roluna, Cristino, and Pagulayan.</p><p>Perpetual Help went on to lead by as much as 37 points as the Junior Warriors eventually absorbed their second straight loss in the league. </p><p>Ethan Aguas delivered 14 points and six rebounds for the Junior Warriors, while Jean Bana had a 10-point, 12-rebound game. UE dropped to 1-2.</p><p>The Junior Altas, meanwhile, are on track for a spot in the tournament&#x27;s crossover quarterfinals.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/31/mgc-nlca-xavier-see-value-in-competing-vs-top-hs-teams-1704">READ: MGC-NLCA, Xavier see value in competing vs. top HS teams</a></div><p>Meanwhile, the Lyceum of the Philippines University improved to 2-1 in Group B after a slim 82-81 triumph over the Arellano Braves. </p><p>Cleafford Dag-Um led the way for the Intramuros-based cagers with 22 points, four steals, four rebounds, two assists, and a block.</p><p>&quot;Ginawa lang namin yung mga dapat na gawin namin sa loob ng court. Tapos, sinusunod lang rin namin yung sistema namin sa depensa namin,&quot; said Dag-um of their win.</p><p>Down by a point following a triple by AU’s Elijah Yusi, LPU’s Khian Panerio gave his team a vital one-point advantage as he aced his attempts from the 15-foot-line after he was fouled by Chris Dy with 34 seconds remaining in the contest.</p><p>Clint Conde was then hacked by the Braves in hopes of extending the game, as Shawn Vergara’s trey was blocked by Dag-Um when AU tried to regain the lead, and fortunately for LPU, Conde went two-of-two to produce an 82-79 lead at the 24-second mark.</p><p>Yusi then fired another triple as the Braves tried to tie the game, but his shot went long and hit the iron. John Axel Mendoza actually grabbed the offensive glass and was fouled with still 0.7 left in the clock, giving them a slight chance to send the game to overtime, but he missed both of his shots at the line.</p><p>Yusi led Arellano with 16 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The Braves fell to their second straight loss.</p><p>Jose Rizal University has won its second straight game in Group A after moving past Xavier School, 79-54.</p><p>&quot;Lagi lang po sinasabi ng coaches na maniwala lang po kami sa sistema,&quot; said WB Player of the Game CJ Satparam who had 14 points, seven rebounds, a steal, and an assist.</p><p>The Light Bombers improved to 2-2 but Satparam believes they are still adjusting to the system of head coach Glenn Capacio.</p><p>&quot;Nag a-adjust pa rin po kasi kami dahil nga bago yung coach namin. Mahigpit po siya, lalo na pag dating sa depensa at effort kaya trabaho lang po kami,&quot; he said.</p><p>Andrew Chio and Gavin Uy led the Golden Stallions with 19 and 16, respectively. </p><div><strong>The scores:</strong></div><div><em>First Game:</em></div><p>Perpetual 104 — Roluna 30, Rosales 22, Cristino 13, Pagulayan 10, Tabbuan 8, Calangan 7, Corpuz 7, Daep 4, Zanoria 3, Nitura 2, Salvo 0, Baldoria 0, Borbon 0, Zamoras 0</p><p>UE 72 — Aguas 14, Bana 10, Alejandro 10, Sabroso 9, Dahino 6, Abellar 5, Bual 5, Almanza 5, Diaz 4, Lagat 2, Cuevas 1, Chua 1, Dahino 0, Roquid.</p><div><em>Second Game:</em> </div><p>LPU 82 — Dag-Um 22, Panerio 14, Conde 13, Enguio 10, Julio 9, Yonzon 6, Abrantes 3, Bo 2, Pelayo 2, Tumo 1, Peña 0, Nodalo 0, Melchor 0.</p><p>AU 81 — Yusi 16, Vergara 14, Ladica 14, Mendoza 8, Tanudtanod 6, Dy 5, Gapac 5, Manansala 4, Franco 3, Baluyot 3, Austria 2, Distrito 1, Ferriols 0, Tagorda 0, Morado 0. </p><p><em>Third Game</em>: </p><p>JRU 79 — Castillo 14, Ferrer 14, Satparam 14, Aballe 9, Marin 8, Almario 6, Cruz 5, To 3, Tolworthy 2, Lacusong 2, Correa 2, Ong 0, Callueng 0, Abequibel 0, Palacpac 0, Taparan 0, Tandang 0. </p><p>Xavier 54 — Chio 19, Uy 16, N.
