MANILA, Philippines – The Adamson Soaring Falcons kept themselves in the thick of the UAAP Season 85 Final Four race by ending the league-best eight straight playoff appearance streak of the FEU Tamaraws off a 75-70 escape at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, November 23.
Big man Lenda Douanga had one of his best offensive games of the season with 18 points on a perfect 8-of-8 clip plus 7 rebounds and a staggering plus-minus of +31 to help Adamson rise to an even 6-6 record, in a fourth-place tie with La Salle. Thanks to this offensive resurgence, FEU stayed locked in until the very end. Even as Lastimosa’s timely triples helped Adamson mount a 67-55 advantage with 4:24 left in regulation, the Tamaraws again got within striking distance with a 9-2 swing, capped by a Bryan Sajonia three, 64-69, at the 1:31 mark.
Jorick Bautista paced the sorry loss with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three in 22 minutes off the bench, while Chiolo Añonuevo scored 13 with 9 boards, 5 assists, and 2 blocks as the Tamaraws skidded down to a 4-9 slate.
