UCAA: Bobcats clobber Jaguars

CENTRAL Colleges of the Philippines used its airtight defense to rout defending champion Philippine School of Business Administration, 76-48, yesterday at the start of the 11th Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (UCAA) men’s basketball tournament at Ateneo Blue Eagle gym in Quezon City.

A trapping defense worked wonders for the Bobcats, who limited the Jaguars to four points in the third quarter, as CCP took the early lead in the event supported by Mikasa and Molten Balls.

Rookie Jerome Tarucan led CCP with 14 points, including a triple in a key 9-2 spurt handing the Bobats a 38-30 spread.
