Photo from NCAA Philippines</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — Jose Rizal University finally broke out of its three-game slump and tallied its first win in NCAA Season 100.The Heavy Bombers repelled San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 90-74, during their men&#x27;s basketball tournament clash on a rainy Wednesday afternoon at the San Juan Arena, and starring for them was rookie Marvin Raymundo.The 6-foot, 22-year-old guard posted a stellar 21-point, 13-rebound game, and JRU head coach Louie Gonzales was proud of how his newest ace finally showed up on the NCAA stage. &quot;We were waiting for him in our first three games. Magaling yung bata, magaling na team player and yung attitude maayos. Buti na-overcome niya yung playing in the spotlight,&quot; Coach Louie said of the young guard during the postgame presser. But aside from the hustle and heart that Raymundo showed, what Gonzales is more proud of is how his team finally competed as a unit throughout the whole contest, unlike their past ones wherein they suffered meltdowns. &quot;It&#x27;s good that we were able to be composed in the end game, but more importantly, a lot of my players showed up for this game. Naniniwala ako sa capabilities ng team na ‘to, and good thing na nag deliver sila.&quot;Mart Barrera followed with 18, Jonathan Medina followed with 11, with the two being among the six Heavy Bombers who finished with at least nine markers, and Coach Louie emphasized that this must be the way that they will compete moving forward. &quot;For us na magkaroon ng flow offensively and defensively, pati na rin yung substitution pattern namin, my players need to do their roles. Kung merong kailangang i-cover yung playing time ng isa dahil masama yung laro ng isa, nagiging detrimental yun sa takbo ng laro namin,&quot; he explained.This was indeed the case for them as tied at 40 at halftime, the Mandaluyong-based team discovered their form in the third canto and ran away with a nine-to-nothing spurt all thanks to baskets from Justin Lozano, Barrera, Raymundo, and Medina. This turned a 46-42 deficit into a 51-46 advantage following a jumper by Medina at the 5:09 mark of the same quarter, while their lead further increased in the fourth to 19, 87-68, following a trip to the foul line by MJ with still 2:30 left in the contest. On the other hand, Paeng Are led San Sebastian with 17 markers, six rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block. Unfortunately, they fell to their second straight defeat in four appearances. <div>The Scores: </div>JRU 90 - Raymundo 21, Barrera 18, Medina 11, Argente 10, Lozano 10, Guiab 9, Mosqueda 5, Panapanaan 2, Sarmiento 2, De Leon 2, Ramos 0, Bernardo 0, Pangilinan 0, Samontanes 0, Ferrer 0San Sebastian 74 - Are 17, Escobido 11, Aguilar 11, Felebrico 10, Velasco 10, Maliwat 7, R.
