Touted one-and-done giant Quentin Millora-Brown made great use of his 6-foot-10 frame in a 24-minute debut, tallying 7 points and a massive 17-board total with 2 blocks, and proving himself extremely useful in grind-out situations like the opening game’s first half. Although Joshua Lazaro and former UP recruit Jared Bahay gave their all to help Ateneo back within 8, 54-62, halfway through the fourth, the bottom fell out anew from the Eagles as Lopez captivated the crowd with a pair of tomahawk jams in the last two minutes to drive the dagger home for good.
Lazaro chipped in an 11-point, 11-board double-double in 23 minutes also off the bench, while Shawn Tuano also scored 11.
