The University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) Junior Fighting Maroons faced their 6th loss this season against Far Eastern University (FEU) Baby Tamaraws last December 12, 2018 at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym.

It was rough for the Junior Maroons at the start of the game. Their opponent had a tight defense which made the Junior Maroons struggle to score. During the 2nd quarter, with the Baby Tamaraws only 8 points ahead, the Junior Maroons tried to catch up. The shots they had were constantly matched by the Baby Tamaraws which made it even more difficult for them to catch up. The game ended with a score of 72 - 102, in favor of the Baby Tamaraws.

Despite the loss, Ray Allen Torres led the Junior Maroons’ game with a total of 23 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, followed by Polo Labao with a total of 17 points, 17 rebounds and 1 assist.

“Siguro masasabi ko lang is hindi namin nama-make [‘yung] shots namin and may mental lapses sa defense,” Torres said. “[We should] stay focused and practice hard this coming Thursday and Friday and be ready to get the win. Definitely we need to work hard and kalimutan na ‘yung 1st round, bago[ng] round na so bagong mindset and change [in] our mentality,” he added.

Their last game for the first round of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 81 was against the University of the East Junior Warriors last Saturday, December 15 at the same venue.
