The UPIS Junior Maroons lost its first game in UAAP Season 75 against the UST Tiger Cubs, 77-73, at the San Juan Arena last July 18.

Both teams showed first game jitters as they were scoreless for the first two and a half minutes of the game. UST then went on a 6-0 run but UPIS quickly recovered and finished the first quarter ahead by two, 18-16.

The Tiger Cubs roared to record their biggest lead in the second quarter, 35-23, after forcing the Maroons to turnovers and controlling the game with their offensive rebounding but UPIS trimmed the lead at the end of the half, 42-35.

UPIS was able to tie the game, 71-all, after Diego Dario’s three-pointer but Prince Martin sank a clutch basket to put the game away for UST. ● by Aaron Lina and Juanito Gregorio
