MANILA, Philippines — Tatapatan ng Universi­y of the Philippines ang enerhiyang ipinakita ng De La Salle University para ma­sungkit ang inaasam na kampeonato sa ‘do-or-die’ Game Three ng UAAP Season 86 men’s bas­ketball finals sa Smart Ara­neta Coliseum.

Nakatakda ang bakbakan ngayong alas-6 ng gabi.

“I felt they had more ener­gy and iyong mga ga­nitong klaseng game would really teach us what kind of effort to put forth to be able to get yung championship,” sabi ni UP coach Goldwin Mon­teverde.

Inaasahang huhugot ng puwersa ang Fighting Maroons kina Malick Diouf, CJ Cansino at Harold Alarcon para maibalik sa kanilang eskuwelahan ang korona na naagaw ng Ateneo Blue Eagles noong Season 85.

Nagwagi sa Game One ang UP pero nasagad ang kanilang serye nang dominahin sila ng Green Archers sa Game Two.

Nagliyab ang opensa ng La Salle sa Game Two lalo na sa third quarter kung saan ay lumamang sila ng 16 points, 65-49, papasok ng fourth period.

Kakapitang muli ng Green Archers si Francis Es­candor na nanguna sa Game Two matapos ilista ang 14 points mula sa 4-of-5 shooting.

Tiyak na makakatuwang ni Escandor sina Evan Nelle at Season 86 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Kevin Quiambao.
