UAAP: Rookie Manlapaz gains confidence after slim Adamson loss

MANILA - They may have ended up on the losing end of a thrilling overtime game, but Adamson University rookie Ap Manlapaz was encouraged by his strong performance for the Soaring Falcons in the game.

That advantage evaporated in the face of a furious last-minute rally by UP, however, capped by two charities from Bright Akhuetie with 2.8 ticks to go.Indeed, Adamson's veteran guards, Lastimosa and Jerrick Ahanmisi, committed a spate of turnovers in the final minute that fueled UP's run.

"Wala namang instruction sa akin kasi parang noong last games, wala akong napapakita sa team, kaya gusto ko talaga bumawi sa game na 'yun kaya ayun, parang nagkusa na lang," the 19-year-old said of his overtime heroics.
