University of Santo Tomas (UST) is planning to make a final appeal for Mo Tounkara’s eligibility for individual awards in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament, sources told the Inquirer on Friday.
The move comes after the league announced that it denied UST’s appeal for Tounkara to avoid a one-game suspension automatically slapped on the beanpole center from Mali after he was ejected in the Tigers’ 94-87 overtime loss to defending champion La Salle last Wednesday.
