THE UST Growling Tigers dropped to a league-worst 0-6 record after a 115-86 blowout against the De La Salle Green Archers on Saturday, Sept. 30.
Reigning MVP Ben Mbala led the Archers with 29 points and 9 rebounds in his anticipated match-up with Cameroonian countryman Steve Akomo, who had 15 markers and 13 boards for UST.
Oliver de Guzman led the Tigers with a career-high 18 points.
La Salle led by as much as 31 points against the winless Tigers, who had 35 turnovers.
The loss gave UST its worst start in the Final Four era.
The Tigers will try to salvage a win before the end of the first round against fellow cellar-dweller University of the East Red Warriors on Oct. 7, Saturday, 2 p.m., at the Mall of Asia Arena. I.R.L. Suing
Fire the whole coaching staff.
The players has talent, the whole coaching staff has none. I saw the game and the coaching staff are just watching as their team was slowly being beaten up by La Salle. You can’t help but wonder: are the coaching staff dumb? Or are they paid not to win any game??
