Bulldogs nip Falcons, keep Filoil slate clean
EMMANUEL Mbe found himself with the loose ball and turned it as the game-winner with 1.4 seconds left as National University nipped Adamson, 69-67, yesterday to complete an 8-0 elimination sweep in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Hanes Cup at the Filoil Flying V Arena.
Mbe, who scored the Bulldogs’ last six points in the final 53 seconds, nailed the decider deep in the post after recovering possession when teammate Jeoff Javillonar’s attempt got deflected.
“We learned how to execute in the endgame, last year that was our waterloo,” said NU coach Eric Altamirano. “The players were poised and calm.”
Mbe finished with 26 markers, including eight of the Bulldogs’ 10 fourth-quarter points, and added 13 rebounds....

The Tams will be playing the Falcons in their 3:30 p.m. encounter minus Terrence Romeo and John Clarence Foronda, who will serve out their one-game suspensions assessed on them for disqualification foul they committed in the fight-marred 72-50 rout of the Lyceum Pirates Monday.
Romeo and Foronda were just two of the three individuals sanctioned by the league after it also banned a fan, Andrei Mendoza, from entering the venue for the rest of the tournament for punching FEU’s Gryann Mendoza without provocation during the melee....
