Rivero downplays LED punching incident in lopsided loss

The 21-year-old was a man of few words after the loss and downplayed the punching incident as an “accident.”Rivero finished with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals onThe 6-foot-1 guard punched the LED board out of frustration after a missed putback jam at the 3:56 mark of the 4th quarter that would have inched UP within 7, 70-63.

He was subbed out 30 seconds later and only returned in the last two minutes when the game was well within out of reach. It was the Maroons' third straight loss to the Tigers this season. Whether Rivero returns for Game 2 versus UST on Wednesday, November 13, in perfect shape remains to be seen, but nevertheless, he remains positive about UP’s chances of returning to the finals versus Ateneo.

“What happened in the first and second round, I think they outworked us,” he said. “[On Wednesday], we’re gonna give it our all.”
