Justin Gutang, Saint Benilde stun FEU; Adamson scores come-from-behind win against Letran


By: Jonash Dannug

Justin Gutang and the College of Saint Benilde Blazers remain unbeaten after taking down the Far Eastern University Tamaraws in a heated-match, 80-73, in the first game of the Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup presented by Chooks-to-Go, Tuesday afternoon, at the Filoil Flying V Centre.

Gutang spearheaded the Blazers’ victory with 27 points, five rebounds, and three assists. Clement Leutcheu displayed a double-double performance with 13 points and 14 rebounds, while Edward Dixon added 12 points and four rebounds.

“Justin is really a diamond in the rough,” said Blazers head coach Ty Tang.

With Gutang, the Blazers now have someone to be the go-to-guy who can score in bunches, a type of player they lacked a couple of seasons ago.

“I think he’s already a made player. There’s nothing much to work on him except his attitude and character towards the game. But in terms of his skillset and athleticism, I think he’s already ready to play this NCAA or even, I don’t know maybe one day he can be part of Gilas,” Tang explained, while giving praise to his prized recruit.

Arvin Tolentino led the Tamaraws with 16 points and nine rebounds in a game that saw him exchange heated words with CSB’s Gutang and Dixon. Wendell Comboy added 10 points, four assists, and four rebounds.
