UST falters vs NU

The University of Santo Tomas fell short in their title defense after faltering against the National University, 78-73, in the Finals Game 3 of the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Kent Pastrana bared her emotion during the post-game and shared the pain of their "almost" championship story.

The Tigresses failed to make a run in the late fourth quarter to claim their second consecutive title in the league.

00:00We went through a lot from here. We felt each other. We felt that we are not the same as the other teams.
00:13It's really nice to feel that they are always there behind you. Even if you win or lose, they are always there behind you.
00:23Coach, we've talked about how great of a player Kent is. For you as a coach, how does it feel to hear from her that she's still committed to have one last fight for USC to win the championship back?
00:38To all the young players in USC, there's no superstar mentality. Stay grounded, work hard every day in and out.
00:49I think, just like Kent, who has one more year for USC. She says a lot that she's happy in USC. She's proud of our program. If Taki has one more year, she'll play with me.
01:06I'm just happy as a coach. Again, I want to thank the whole USC community that went here to support and cheer for us.
01:19But unfortunately, we fell short. We'll make up for it next season. To our supporters, to our managers, to the Ipea family, to Father Rodel Cansancio, to Father Rector Ang,
01:36from day one that I've been here in USC until now, all-out support for them. Thank you.
