Erolon and Hanapi added 10 and nine more to even out Remogat’s scrary double-double 27 points, 11 rebounds, three assists for UE.
"It was a hard win against UE. Going to the game, I consider ourselves minus-five against UE kasi when you look at the numbers... Itong mga players namin they still lack experience, it develops grit, kaya we welcome mga games na ganito," head coach Nash Racela said during the post-game conference.
The win put AdU's record to 3-2, tying De La Salle University, while UE dropped to 2-3 joining Ateneo.
