UAAP 85 3×3: FEU-D, Adamson face off in boys’ semis; NUNS-UST clash in girls’ final


FAR EASTERN University-Diliman completed a sweep of the UAAP Season 85 High School Boys’ 3×3 Basketball Tournament’s Pool A, while National University Nazareth School needed the tiebreaker advantage to top Pool B on Sunday at the Blue Eagle Gym in Quezon City.

After two dominant wins against University of the Philippines Integrated School (21-15) and Ateneo High School (20-10) on Day 1 on Saturday, the Baby Tamaraws needed to dig deep against the University of Santo Tomas to secure a 21-19 (8:12) victory and complete the pool play sweep.

With the game tied at 19-all with 1:48 left, Tiger Cub Charles Bucsit fouled JR Pasaol, resulting in UST’s seventh foul. Seven fouls in the three-a-side game mean two free throws for the opponent.

JR, brother of former Philippine No. 2-ranked 3×3 player Alvin Pasaol, calmly sank the two free throws to seal the win.

Pasaol finished the game with 10 points, while Kirby Mongcopa added five points.

Ateneo also advances to the knockout rounds of this demonstration tournament after beating UPIS, 18-12.

All three squads ended pool play with identical 2-1 slates.

In 3×3, ties are broken through total points scored, which resulted in the Bullpups (61 pts) and the Baby Falcons (60) advancing to the Final Four. The Junior Archers only totaled 55 points in three games played.
