Santo Tomas destroys McDavid
University of Santo Tomas clobbered McDavid, 111-90, for its fifth win in the 2019 PBA D-League Monday at JCSGO Gym in Cubao.
Soulemane Chabi Yo spearheaded the Growling Tigers with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists, leading the killer first half that allowed Santo Tomas to grab a 59-41 lead at the half.
The Beninese forward’s hot start set the tone for the rout. The Tigers had a 58-37 edge in rebounds.
Marvin Lee contributed 17 points on a scorching 5-of-7 clip from three-point range, with Rhenz Abando and Brent Paraiso contributing 13 and 12 points, respectively.
The easy win allowed coach Aldin Ayo to continue experimenting with the Tigers’ system, one which he feels still needs a lot of fine-tuning.
“We still have a lot to improve on,” Ayo said in Filipino.
