In the college division, Jancork Cabahug of the defending champion University of the Visayas (UV) topscored for Team A with 23 points in a thrilling 102-100 win over Team B.
Team A won despite the 24-point performance of USPF foreign student-athlete Sameen Swint.
The game boiled down to the last seconds as Swint had a chance to win the game but missed a potential game-winning three as time expired.
Cabahug was named MVP and here’s what he had to say after the game:

In the side events, the University of San Jose-Recoletos’ Juan Miguel Gastador reclaimed the dunk title over his foreign counterparts.
Gastador made it to the final round against Southwestern University (SWU)-Phinma’s Lamine Thiam.
However, the prolific SWU-Phinma import missed on his attempts while Gastador made his dunks to come away with the crown, which he last held in 2o17.
Here is a slow-mo video of his final dunk:

The three-point crown, meanwhile, went to University of Cebu’s Paul Galinato, who edged University of San Carlos’ Joshua Magic Marata in the thrilling final round.
