De La Salle University began its quest for a championship on the right note.
The Green Archers dealt Far Eastern University an 87-76 beating at the UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Veteran guard Evan Nelle led the Taft-based squad with 15 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds, while Kevin Quiambao, CJ Austria, and Mike Phillips were also instrumental after posting 14, 12, and 12, respectively.. Up 80-68, and after leading by as much as 20 earlier in the contest, the Tamaraws were able to cut La Salle’s lead to as low as seven, 73-80, after FEU scored five straight points capped by a fast break by Royce Alforque with a little over two minutes left in the game.
But the Green Archers reimposed their presence scoring four straight points highlighted by an alley-oop by Phillips from Quiambao to establish an 11-point lead with only 1:14 remaining in the game and eventually seal the first victory for the Topex Robinson-led squad.The Green Archers will next battle their rivals Ateneo de Manila University on Wednesday, October 4, at 4 PM, while FEU will be up against National University on the same date at 11 AM.
