The De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers took home the UAAP Season 76 men's basketball championship after a heart breaker win over the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers that went to overtime, 71-69, Saturday, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Finals MVP award was given to Jeron Teng who finished with team-high 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists. He defeated his brother who plays for the UST "When the buzzer sounded I really didn't know what to feel. On one side we're champions, but on the other side, I feel my brother's pain. He played his heart out, he deserves to be MVP," he said. "UST had a good game. We just didn't give up, we won for the La Salle community."
The older Teng played his last UAAP game, and will bow out of the amateur ranks after leading UST to back-to-back Finals appearances.
DLSU 71: Teng 25, Vosotros 16, Perkins 13, Van Opstal 11, T Torres 4, N Torres 1, Revilla 1, Tampus 0, Salem 0

Quarter scoring: 16-18, 24-32, 47-48, 65-65, 71-69
