MANILA, Philippines – The Adamson Soaring Falcons made history Wednesday, but for all the wrong reasons in a forgettable 25-62 loss at the hands of the National University Bulldogs.
Adamson now holds the worst shooting game percentage in the UAAP. The San Marcelino-based squad was held to only 25 points after 40 minutes of action in a woeful 16 percent shooting. The Falcons were doomed at the start as they only managed three points in the opening quarter.
Adamson, which is tied with University of the Philippines at the cellar with a 0-4 win-loss slate, broke the worst record in the UAAP since the 18.5 percent shooting of the Maroons last September 7, 2013.
