Basketball

AXED

THE INEVITABLE has finally caught up with the UST Growling Tigers.

Despite an inspired second round rally highlighted by a stunning upset of the fancied Ateneo Blue Eagles, the Growling Tigers came up short and fell prey to a vicious pre-season predicament that hounded them throughout the tournament.

For the first time since the Universities Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) adopted the final four format in 1994, UST would not be a part of the semifinal round action.

Amazons nilapa ng Tigresses

GAYA ng koponan ng UST sa Men’s basketball, biglang nagkaroon ng bagong buhay ang kampanya ng UST Growling Tigresses dahil sa magkasunod na panalo.

Pagkatapos ng kanilang 58-50 na paglampaso sa Ateneo Lady Eagles, ipinagpatuloy ng Tigresses ang pagtugis sa nangungulelat na UE Red Amazons, 45–28, upang makatabla para sa ikaapat at huling puwesto sa Final Four ng 2001 UAAP Women’s Basketball Tournament noong Agosto 26 sa UST Gym.

Tinalo ng Tigresses ang UE noong first round, 58-50, sa pangunguna ni Saindee dela Cruz na umiskor ng 19 na puntos.

Lady Dribblers seek redemption

WITH TWO of its mainstays flying the coop and a key offensive player succumbing to a career-ending injury, one would look at the UST Lady Tigresses as a team down for the count.

Still reeling from its early final four exit, the team?s poor showing in the Fr. Martin?s Cup has reduced the Tigresses to a dark horse in the upcoming UAAP cage wars. Critics speculate that Coach Peque Tan?s motley crew would be lucky to even duplicate their fourth-place finish in the UAAP last season.
