The University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) Junior Maroons struggled to find their game and fell to a four-game losing streak in the Pilipinas Chinese Amateur Basketball League (PCABL).
Veteran guard Bryan Lina top-scored in their first game with 17 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds against Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) last August 18, 2017. In the end, it was the height advantage that gave the Ateneo an 11-point lead to win the game in 78-67.
Forward Matt Santiago chipped in 20 points in a hard-fought second game versus Adamson last August 21, 2017. The Fighting Maroons came back from a 25-point deficit yet missed the last shot in overtime to give Adamson an 80-78 win.
With 17 points and 10 rebounds, Santiago also led the team during their third game last August 27 when they battled against Chang Kai Shek College (CKSC). It was a close game in the first three quarters but CKSC gathered enough steam and dealt UPIS its third loss, 95-71.
The Maroons engaged in a heated game against UAAP rivals University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tiger Cubs last September 2 but failed to recover after a bad start to lose their fourth consecutive game, 88-75.
“Siguro yung consistency. Kasi ang basketball is a 40-minute game. Hindi pwedeng 30 minutes maganda laro tapos last 10 minutes wala na,” Lina expressed his thoughts on their points for improvement.
They will try to get back on the winning track this Sunday, September 10, versus University of the East at the Buddhacare Gym. // by Cedric Jacobo and Trisa de Ocampo
