Yun ang sinasabi ko sa kanila, dapat yung effort nandoon, 110-percent all-out,” he continued.The Jhocson-based team saw themselves down throughout the contest until the early fourth period as they were once facing a 57-44 deficit.However, this was when the Bulldogs ferociously bit the Tamaraws.National U charged on a 15-to-nothing run in a span of more than five minutes, with a Donn Lim triple capping the surge with a triple at the 4:32 mark of the same frame.“Hinayaan ko lang sila. Pinagkatiwalaan ko lang silang mag laro,” explained Coach Jeff on what sparked their fourth-quarter run. “It depends on them naman talaga, kung ano yung outcome ng game.”“I just gave them some pointers, pero every timeout hinayaan ko na lang sila magpahinga to recover. Nag bigay lang ako talaga ng pointers, pero sila na yung dumiskarte,” he continued.The Bulldogs then saw themselves up 62-60 in the dying seconds of the contest, but Janrey Pasaol could have actually won the game with three free throws in the final second of the contest after getting fouled by Palacielo.Unfortunately for the Tamaraws, the FEU rookie missed all of his charities, and this, in turn, resulted in them absorbing their second loss of the season.Aside from this, they were also limited to only five points in the fourth and only a single field goal.<div>The Scores:</div>NU 62 – Palacielo 9, Figueroa 8, Padrones 8, Francisco 7, Enriquez 6, Garcia 5, Jumamoy 5, Santiago 4, Perciano 4, Lim 3, Tulabut 2, Yu 1, Manansala 0, Dela Cruz 0, Parks 0.FEU 60 – Konateh 17, Pre 15, Bautista 7, Pasaol 7, Alforque 6, Daa 4, Bagunu 4, Montemayor 0, Ona 0, Anonuevo 0, Nakai 0.Quarters: 13-24, 31-33, 44-55, 62-60.<div>RELATED VIDEO: <ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3068642"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script></div>
