MANILA, Philippines — Adamson completed its best start in 12 years after dominating University of the East, 63-51, for solo third place in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on Sunday at Mall of Asia Arena.
Kim Limbago led Adamson’s collective effort with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting and tallied three assists, two rebounds, and a steal as the Lady Falcons finished the first round with a 5-2 record only losing to defending champion University of Santo Tomas and runner-up National University.
The last time the Lady Falcons had this much success was back in Season 75 in 2012 when they finished third place after losing in a stepladder semifinals against La Salle.

MANILA, Philippines—Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin admitted the pressure is palpable for the young Blue Eagles to redeem themselves in the second half of the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament.
A basketball program used to winning and contending for championships since the 2000s, the Blue Eagles now found themselves in unfamiliar territory sitting at the bottom of the standings at the end of the first round.
“There’s pressure. Whether you feel it in the locker room or in the practice court, it’s there,” said Baldwin after Ateneo’s 78-68 loss to National University on Saturday night.
UAAP: UST Tigers show they’re more than the sum of their wins

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.
