MANILA, Philippines—National University drew huge support from its bench and disposed of University of the East, 73-63, Thursday to continue its journey in the Philippine Collegiate Champions’ League Sweet 16.

Bobby Ray Parks was just two dimes shy of a triple double, finishing with 18 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, but had help from the second and third units.

Guard Gelo Alolino, meanwhile, chipped in 15 points, while Tristan Perez had 12 points for the Bulldogs, whose bench contributed 30 points against the Warriors’ 14.
