MANILA, Philippines—Far Eastern University cruised past winless University of the East, 92-66, and remained atop the heap early in the 75th UAAP men’s basketball tournament.
The crack tandem of Terrence Romeo and RR Garcia clicked early for the Tamaraws as they churned out 19 and 18 points, respectively.
Romeo, who’s been the cornerstone of the offense of FEU in its four victories, also chalked up five rebounds and eight assists while former MVP Garcia contributed eight rebounds and six dimes.
It was smooth sailing for the Tamaraws, who shot a commendable 52 percent from the field, as they broke away in the second half for good.
While FEU stayed the only undefeated squad, the Warriors are still in search for their first victory in three starts.
Chris Javier paced his squad in a losing effort with 20 points and nine boards while main man Roi Sumang added 16 points.
