Reigning MVP Malick Diouf did not miss a beat after a one-game absence due to a right wrist injury, dominating with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 5 steals, and 2 assists as UP stayed in first place with a 9-2 record to clinch their fifth straight semifinal spot. UP’s veteran crew, though, regained control from there as Cansino sank a floater with 2:43 to play, 73-69, right after a pair of Diouf free throws.

Lingolingo then passed up a late three that could have tied the game before Ethan Galang sealed UE’s fate after dribbling the ball off an inbound straight to a waiting Diouf, who split from the line, 77-72, with 13.6 seconds left to secure the late pullaway.). There are things to improve especially in our second half wherein there were stretches where we were flat,” said UP assistant coach Christian Luanzon.
