MANILA, Philippines – The UP Fighting Maroons stayed hot to start the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament, routing the UE Red Warriors, 84-69, in the first game of a quadruple-header at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, October 4.
CJ Cansino also stayed hot, pumping out 17 points off the bench on 3-of-5 shooting from three, while new playmaker Janjan Felicilda made up for a scoreless game with a game-high 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. While the Red Warriors managed to trim their deficit all the way down to 9, 53-62, early in the fourth, the Maroons simply reignited the defensive fire they had in the opening canto, as they essentially sealed the deal with a 10-0 spurt ending with back-to-back Francis Lopez layups with 6:39 left to play.
