00:00 The first half of the UAAP Season 86 of men's basketball is now over.
00:07 Which team will be the first to finish the first round?
00:10 Let's find out in the story of Rafael Bandayreal of PTV Sports.
00:14 A rematch between defending champion Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles
00:21 and University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons
00:24 was the final of the first round of UAAP Season 86.
00:29 In the Battle of Katipunan,
00:32 the two powerhouses were close to each other
00:35 and the overtime was still on.
00:37 But in the extra period,
00:39 rookie Mason Amos didn't miss the chance to show his skills.
00:44 Amos lost 7 crucial points in the OT
00:48 to give Ateneo the 99-89 victory.
00:51 Meanwhile, the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers
00:57 was the first to win this season.
00:59 23 markers, 6 boards and 2 dimes
01:03 were given to Nick Cabanero,
01:05 who led the Tomasinos 68-62
01:09 against Far Eastern University Tamaraus.
01:12 Because of this, the Tigers also finished their 19-game losing streak
01:17 since the last season.
01:19 We need to absorb how we won the game
01:23 because it's been a long time since we've won.
01:26 We need to feel how strong we are to win.
01:30 And I do hope that we continue to win.
01:34 The UAAP Men's Basketball will continue on October 25.
01:39 Round 2 will start with a quadruple header
01:42 where the following matchups will be played.
01:45 UST vs. LaSalle, NU vs. UE,
01:49 Ateneo vs. FEU, and UP vs. Adamson.
01:53 All of these games will be played at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
01:58 Rafael Bandayrel for the nation.
