UAAP: No comment from UST coach Ayo on Abando's benching

on Wednesday.

Abando, UST's second-leading scorer in UAAP Season 82, was in street clothes behind the team bench during their game. The athletic forward is averaging 11.8 points along with 5 rebounds per game.The Growling Tigers got it done even without Abando, pulling away for a crucial 84-78 triumph against the Fighting Maroons.

Senior guard Renzo Subido took charge in crunch time, assisting on Brent Paraiso's go-ahead three-pointer before hitting the dagger triple with 26.7 seconds to go."Siyempre mahirap dahil nawalan kami ng isang bala," Cansino said of Abando's absence. "Pero 'yung sistema naman ni coach kasi, panglahatan eh, hindi lang pang isang player," he added. "So, may magi-step up. May mawawala, may magi-step up."For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN Sports website.
