National University ended the UAAP Season 86 Men's Basketball Tournament first round as the second seed in the standings
This, after the Bulldogs moved past Adamson University, 69-66, on Saturday at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion in Manila City.
Tied at 63 apiece after a triple by Adamson's Matt Erolon with still 4:46 remaining in the game, the Jeff Napa-led squad scored six straight points to create a much-needed separation, 69-63, capped by a floater by Enriquez with only 1:29 left. Before this, the San Marcelino-based squad opened the game by scoring 10 straight points which was ended by an and-one by OJ Ojarikre at the 6:34 mark of the game.
It was in the third quarter, on the other hand, where Baclaan put up a show as he scored 15 points in the frame, all of which came from the three-point area, to overtake Adamson at the end of the first 30 minutes.
