UAAP’s reigning best setter and Finals MVP Joshua Retamar waxed hot for the NU Bulldogs not only in setting up plays but also in firing the shots himself.
Retamar dished out 31 excellent sets in NU’s four-set rout of Adamson prior to a career-high 12 points and 20 excellent sets in a sweep of UP.
And his performances have led the Bulldogs to back-to-back victories.
As one of the Bulldogs’ senior figures, Retamar did lead by example and went out to prove that his steady hands can be lethal on the floor in more ways than one.
For that, he earned the nod from college scribes as the Collegiate Press Corps’ UAAP Player of the Week presented by San Miguel Corporation for the period of February 28 to March 3.
“Iniisip ko lang talaga, syempre, senior ako sa team namin. ‘Di pwede yung set, kailangan din mag-perform ng block, ng depensa, sa serve and syempre, pinagkatiwalaan ako ni coach eh. ‘Di ko sasayangin ‘yun,” said Retamar after beating FEU’s Andrei Delicana, La Salle’s JM Ronquillo, and UST’s Josh Ybañez for the men’s Player of the Week plum.
“Unti-unti pong naga-adjust ‘yung team namin from talo namin sa UST [at] binubuo po ulit namin yung team namin.”
