April 26, 2015, 1:14 p.m. - AN UNDERMANNED UST Growling Tigers dropped a close 59-60 decision against the University of the East Red Warriors to open the 2015 FilOil Flying V Premier Cup at the San Juan Arena Saturday.

Down one with 17 seconds to go, the Growling Tigers missed three attempts allowing the Red Warriors to secure the win.

THIS is not our year.

The UST Growling Tigers failed to end their forgettable season on a high note after a 73-78 loss to the University of the East Red Warriors in the UAAP Season 77 men’s basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sept. 16.

Graduating team captain Aljon Mariano went all out in his last UAAP game with the Tigers after finishing with a game-high 18 points despite their elimination in the Final Four race by a loss to De La Salle University two games back.

With less than two minutes left in the payoff period, the Growling Tigers trimmed a 12-point deficit to six, 69-75, after Karim Abdul scored four straight points.
