UAAP 85 BBB: Jumamoy, NSNU outlast DLSZ, remain unscathed


Nazareth School of National University overcame De La Salle-Zobel stand, 74-71, to remain undefeated in the UAAP Season 85 high school boys basketball tournament at the San Andres Sports Complex Sunday.

The three-peat-seeking Bullpups prevailed despite having scoreless in the final 2:14, as the Junior Archers fell short of achieving a major upset.

“Muntik pa kami,” said coach Kevin de Castro as NSNU turned the ball over 17 times and allowed De La Salle-Zobel to score 25 points in the payoff period. “Yung turnovers, ang dami naming ibinigay. Medyo pangit ang inilaro namin this game.”

After Reinhard Jumamoy missed two free throws, the Junior Archers tried to send the match to overtime in the final 11 seconds but they could not convert on the final possession.

Jumamoy missed on a second straight triple-double, finishing with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists to lead the Bullpups, who are now 5-0 and have won 32 straight games.

Rhyie Melencio had 26 points, including a lay-up in the final 1:18 that cut the Junior Archers’ deficit to 71-74. He also had 12 boards and three blocks.
