UAAP MediaMANILA -- Mac Tadeo drained a clutch jumper with just six seconds to go to lift National University-Nazareth School to a thrilling 77-76 win against Ateneo de Manila University in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament.</div>&quot;Big Mac&quot; converted the shot with 6.4 seconds left, with NU-Nazareth head coach Kevin De Castro putting his trust in the 6-foot-4 big man after ace player Chester Tulabut fouled out.Tadeo delivered, calmly sinking the game-winner to finish with 18 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday&#x27;s game at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.&quot;Yung last play na yun, wala na si Chester. It&#x27;s either si Dave (Sabareza) or Mac. Luckily, nalibre siya sa gitna. Alam ko talaga na capable siya to score,&quot; said De Castro.Ateneo had one final chance, but Zane Kallos missed a driving layup as time expired.&quot;Sabi ko sa kanila na alam natin na capable to score si Zane and to create for his teammates. We just made it hard for him. Alam ko babawi siya. I have to give credit kay Dwayne (Khobuntin) dahil siya yung primary defender ni Zane,&quot; De Castro said.Khobuntin -- the son of TNT mainstay Glenn -- held MVP front-runner Kallos to just nine points on a paltry 2-of-20 shooting clip.With the result, NU-Nazareth improved to 6-7, solidifying their hold on solo fourth, while Ateneo fell to 4-7.The Bullpups built a 14-point lead, 53-39, early in the third quarter before Ateneo mounted a furious comeback, eventually taking a 63-56 advantage late in the frame.In a back-and-forth final quarter, Ateneo took a 75-73 lead with 1:44 to play off a Sky Jazul triple. Two free throws by Tulabut knotted the count at 75 with 52.2 seconds left.However, Tulabut fouled out with 39.7 seconds remaining, sending Kallos to the line, where he split his free throws. That left enough time for the Bullpups, however, and Tadeo rose to the occasion in Tulabut&#x27;s stead.David Sabareza and Nick Peña supported Tadeo with 13 points apiece. Tulabut led the Bullpups with 22 points and seven rebounds before fouling out.Jazul paced Ateneo with 20 points, including four three-pointers, while Q Molina added 15 points, five assists, three rebounds, and two steals.In the day&#x27;s opening game, Adamson University snapped a two-game losing streak by defeating the winless University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS), 63-58.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732444318709UAAP87 JHSBB - Khyian Edison Jordan-4874.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Action between Adamson and UPIS in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Basketball Tournament, November 24, 2024 at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
