The Bulldogs triumphed over La Salle in overtime, 80-77, at the UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament, Saturday afternoon in Pasay City.
MANILA — National University showed might and composure in a nerve-racking, back-and-forth affair at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Jake Figueroa top-scored for NU with 15 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals, Jolo Manansala finished with 13, while Pat Yu contributed 12 markers including five crucial points that separated them from the Taft-based squad. Plays after, Evan Nelle gave his squad another chance after draining a trey to cut the lead to two, 77-79, with still 1.3 remaining, but Kean Baclaan going 1-of-2 from the line after he was fouled was enough for them to seal the deal.
Figueroa, however, answered with a crucial three-pointer to tie the game at 67 apiece with still 48 ticks remaining in the game.
