For someone leading a squad that has a shot at owning the third-best mark in the league, Forthsky Padrigao thinks the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers are playing even better than their record in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament.
“[Our record] can be [better],” Padrigao told a few journalists who tailed him as he walked out of the postgame presser on Saturday at Mall of Asia Arena.
Padrigao was coming off a 14-point, 11-assist performance, his best so far in the black-and-gold jersey, as he led the Tigers to an 83-72 beatdown of Far Eastern University (FEU).

MANILA, Philippines — National University coach Jeff Napa couldn’t help but shed tears after the Bulldogs ended a four-game skid in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament on Saturday.
Napa admitted he was frustrated over the team’s struggles and turned emotional after they finally got to somehow repay the support of the 1,350 fans from the NU Mall of Asia campus with a much-needed win over Ateneo.
“As true blooded Nationalian talaga, we’re proud na despite na medyo struggling kami, nandiyan pa rin sila naniniwala,” said Jeff Napa, who led NU to back-to-back Final Four appearances the past two seasons including a bronze medal finish last year.
