Adamson Soaring Falcons clash with UE Red Warriors at 4PM.
The Adamson Soaring Falcons broke through the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament win column the hard way, escaping the UST Growling Tigers in a frantic 79-76 overtime finish at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, October 4.
Falcons forward Cedrick Manzano was a beast on the boards and in the post in the clutch, as he scored 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 7 rebounds, 5 coming on the offensive end.
Matty Erolon added 11 points in just 13 minutes off the bench, while Joem Sabandal added 9 points – 7 coming in the extra period alone – to go with 6 assists and 4 boards.
Just as it seemed that all hope was lost for UST after a Sabandal-powered overtime run put Adamson ahead, 77-70, with 1:10 left, Tigers captain Nic Cabanero came out of nowhere with two clutch triples with 29.8 seconds left, setting the stage for a heart-pounding finale with the Falcons just up one, 77-76.
