“Di pa 100-yung pinapakita ng team, pero 80-percent nagbe-blend na yung mga bago sa team. Yung depensa namin, yun ang nape-perfect na nila,” said UP QRS/JAM Liner coach Bert dela Rosa, who dedicated the win to team consultant Joe Ward. The American mentor collapsed Monday night and was taken to Capitol Medical Center for further evaluation.

Kevin Ferrer paced the Maroons with 19 points, four rebounds, and four assists, while Paul Desidero got 16 markers.
