Coach Glenn Capacio was not in the mood to celebrate despite the team booking a place in the Final Four and within striking distance of one of the twice-to-beat slots with still three games remaining in the elimination round of UAAP Season 72."Were struggling now, Im not happy how we played. Kailangan naka focus na going into the Final Foul, dapat i-angat namin ang game namin", said Coach Glenn.RR Garcia poured his highest output so far in his young collegiate career, finishing with 25 points, while fellow rookie Jaymo Equilos chipped in 7 points and logged in heavy minutes to make up for the stuggles of big men Pipo Noundou and Aldrech Ramos."Di ako umaasa sa three players lang, sa 12-man rotation ko kahit sino pwede mag step-up," added the former UAAP MVP.Despite suffering a humbling loss against the UE Red Warriors last Sunday the Tamaraws started slow with the Falcons leading as much as nine points early. The Tams got their act together in the middle of the second quarter, charging with a 21-6 run to finish on top going into halftime, 45-39.Adamson managed to tie at 56-all but were never able to regain the lead. Garcia extinguised a late Falcon run with a rare 4-point play with 2:18 left in the final quarter to give the Tams enough space and close out at 84-75.FEU rises to 9-2 and faces the UP Fighting Maroons on Saturday 2pm at the Arena in San Juan.
