THE UNIVERSITY of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Jaguars downed the Southwestern University (SWU) – Phinma Cobras, 77-65, to gain a tie for second place in the standings of the 2018 Cesafi men’s basketball tournament on Sunday evening at the Cebu Coliseum.
The win was a wire-to-wire one for the Jaguars as they dominated the shaded lane, scoring a whopping 52 points inside, including a thunderous two-handed slam by Nigerian big man Segamars Ewenike that came off an alley-oop pass from Miguel Gastador.
Reigning league MVP Jaybie Mantilla filled the stat sheet with 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as the Jaguars improved to 4-1 (win-loss), the same record with the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) and right behind the unbeaten University of Cebu (UC), which owns a 5-0 card.
