UST-Ironcon overwhelms Letran at MBL Invitational 2011

Go Uste! Take that, itay. Haha. 😀

MBL Open  champion University of Santo Tomas-Ironcon Builders rode on  the  hot hands of  Karim Abdul and Kevin Ferrer to bring down Letran  College, 77-60,  and  serve notice of its title aspirations  in the 2011  MBL Invitational basketball championship at the Lyceum gym in  Intramuros, Manila.

Abdul,  the Tigers’ 6-7  “Tower of Power”,  asserted himself  in  the shaded  area and came away with 18  points and 12 rebounds despite the Knights’ tight, double-teaming defense to power UST-Ironcon  to victory in this prestigious, season-ending tournament supported by Cebuana  Lhuillier,  Dickies   Underwear, PRC   Couriers and  WG Diner.

Ferrer  added 16 points, including a pair of three-point shots that helped the Tigers keep the Knights at bay in the fourth quarter.

Three other mainstays — Aljon Mariano, Clark  Bautista  and  Louie Vigil — also scored in double figures for UST-Ironcon, which  is  being handled by coach  Pido Jarencio and manager Jaime Lim.

“The boys played hard  even without two of our starters and kept their composure  even  after  they (Knights)  tried to keep  the  game  close and  rallied in the early part of the fourth period,” said   Jarencio, referring  to  ace  gunner Jeric Teng and playmaker Jeric Fortuna, who are  now  playing  with the Philippine team in the Southeast  Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.
