MANILA, Philippines — There will be no suspensions for La Salle coach Topex Robinson and University of the Philippines guard Reyland Torres despite the “unsportsmanlike conduct” of both parties in their first-round match last week at Mall of Asia Arena.

The UAAP on Saturday released a statement regarding the verdict of Robinson’s alleged game-spitting incident with Torres, which led to a heated exchange in the third period of La Salle’s 68-56 win Sunday last week.

The La Salle coach and UP player were left off with “stern warnings,” confirming Inquirer Sports’ earlier report.

MANILA, Philippines — Far Eastern University turned to EJ Lopez when it mattered most to send Adamson crashing, 67-64, and open the second round of the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on a high note on Saturday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Lopez poured in four triples in the fourth quarter including the go-ahead trey from the top of the key to give the Lady Tamaraws a precarious 65-64 lead with 1:02 remaining.

Victoria Adeshina missed a crucial layup on a fast break with 16 seconds left as Shane Salvani extended FEU’s lead to 67-64 with two made free throws.

La Salle will have its return match against the team that put the only blemish in the Green Archers’ record so far in Season 87 of the UAAP men’s basketball tournament.

And with coach Topex Robinson likely getting out of that controversial spitting incident with just a “stern warning” to make sure that all hands are on deck for La Salle, how it deals with red-hot University of the East for the second time will be something worth seeing at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

More so because a 75-71 setback to the Red Warriors triggered a reawakening of the Archers, whose cornerstone Kevin Quiambao has embraced a new role to lead La Salle to four straight wins after that.

MANILA, Philippines — La Salle coach Topex Robinson and University of the Philippines guard Reyland Torres will likely see action in the resumption of the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament over the weekend after a “stern warning” from the league subcommittee.

Sources privy to the situation bared to Inquirer Sports that the subcommittee of the UAAP Board of Managing Directors, in coordination with the commissioner’s office, has recommended giving Robinson and Torres “a stern warning” after the alleged spitting incident during the La Salle-UP game.

This comes after a meeting that included both parties at Novotel on Thursday.
