MANILA, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao tallied his second triple-double in the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament but the credit still went to coach Topex Robinson and the La Salle Green Archers for bringing out the best in him.

“Coach unleashed my potential and I’m so grateful to all of them, my teammates and coaches, for their all out support. I just stuck to the system,” said Quiambao in Filipino after tallying 17 points, 19 rebounds, 12 assists, four steals, and two blocks.

MANILA, Philippines — Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin insisted that having Joseph Obasa was not about replacing Ange Kouame but the one-and-done foreign student-athlete is a gift for the Blue Eagles in the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament.

“We don’t [think about him replacing Ange Kouame]. I don’t think Joe thinks too much about that. We don’t talk about that at all. Ange represents a different time, a different team, a different era. You have to understand I think how difficult a job we gave Joe really is, and it’s not related to Ange,” said Baldwin after Obasa came to the rescue with the crucial stops and the game-sealing free throws in their 62-58 win over Adamson on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

MANILA, Philippines — Adamson coach Nash Racela didn’t hold back in lamenting the officiating in the fourth quarter of their 62-58 loss to defending champion Ateneo in the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

“As a coach, I should be happy with the way our players competed but it’s not enough that you just compete. I think today—maybe I would agree Ateneo played great fourth quarter. But this is something that surprised me. When we were up six points at the end of the third, we got into penalty right away. It’s seven and a half minutes when we were up by six,” rued Racela after a tough loss in their crucial match.

MANILA, Philippines — No heartbreaker this time for Ateneo as it made the crucial stops in the final seconds to survive Adamson, 62-58, and regain the solo fourth place in the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Holding onto a one-point lead, 59-58, after Matthew Erolon’s triple for Adamson, the defending champions didn’t allow the Falcons to score as Didat Hanapi missed a forced fadeaway jumper with 4.1 seconds left.
