June 20, 2015, 6:14 p.m. - SEVERAL Thomasians came away with medals as part of the Philippine contingent in the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Singapore last June 6 to 16.

The Tigers collected three golds, two silvers and one bronze medal for the Philippines as the country improved to sixth place with a 29-36-66 final tally, one notch higher from two years ago.

May 20, 2015, 9:46 p.m. - KEVIN Ferrer powered the UST Growling Tigers to a 76-72 victory over the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons in the 2015 Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup at the San Juan Arena Wednesday.

Ferrer, who returned from a stint with the Sinag Pilipinas national team in the Southeast Asian Basketball Association championships, finished with 19 points as the Tigers won their second game in four outings.

20 July 2014, 8:28 p.m. - THE UST Growling Tigers withstood a late rally to fend off the Far Eastern University Tamaraws, 69-67, in their UAAP Season 77 men's basketball showdown at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, Sunday.

Kevin Ferrer came up with a team-high 18 points, including back-to-back treys late in the game, to lead the Growling Tigers to their first win of the season while reserve forward Kent Lao posted a career-high 14 markers off the bench capped by a game-clinching breakaway layup.

UST improved to a 1-1 win-loss card. Leading by three, 53-50, entering the fourth period, UST turned the ball over three consecutive times as FEU went on an 8-0 run for a 58-53 advantage.

THE UST Growling Tigers are looking to make a big impact this season following back-to-back losses in the finals the past two years.

But the road to another finals appearance might not be easy for the Tigers, who will be without gunners Jeric Teng and Clark Bautista. They also have a new coach in Bong Dela Cruz, who replaced Pido Jarencio.

“We still need to gel and bond as a team since we have only been together recently,” the rookie coach said.

Dela Cruz admitted that his wards still had to work on their chemistry and teamwork, considering that injuries kept him from working with a full lineup during the off-season.

But though the team still needed adjustments, Dela Cruz vowed that the Tigers would still be competitive.
