    CENTRO Escolar University staved off a spirited rally from University of Santo Tomas to pull off a 75-73 win in the 2019 Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup Sunday.

    Keanu Caballero scored nine of the Scorpions' last 15 points as they escaped the Growling Tigers' furious rally after holding a 70-61 lead in the final two minutes.

    The cat-quick guard finished with 10 points and three assists to help the Scorpions go 2-0 in Group A.

    Judel Fuentes topped CEU in the win with 25 points and three boards, as Christian Uri had 10 points and five rebounds.

    Senegalese big man Maodo Malick Diouf was limited to just six points, yet still hauled in 12 rebounds in the win.

    Mark Nonoy got UST within one, 74-73 with a split from the line, but he was whistled for a foul on the other end against Franz Diaz, who split from the line with five seconds remaining and make it a two-point game for CEU.

    Renzo Subido had a chance to win the game for the Growling Tigers but he muffed his trey as time expired.

    Beninese forward Soulemane Chabi Yo carried UST with 19 points, five rebounds, and three steals, as Subido and Nonoy both had nine.

    The Growling Tigers have yet to score a victory through two outings in the summer tilt.

    The scores:

    CEU 75 -- Fuentes 25, Uri 10, Ke. Caballero 10, Formento 8, Diouf 6, Rojas 4, Lisbo 4, Diaz 3, Bernabe 2, Santos 2, Intic 1, Abastillas 0, Sunga 0.

    UST 73 -- Chabi Yo 19, Subido 9, Nonoy 9, Abando 8, Paraiso 8, Concepcion 8, Ando 6, Talampas 3, Huang 2, Tarranza 1, Bataller 0, Bordeos 0, Herrera 0.

    Quarters: 20-17, 32-37, 57-50, 75-73.
