UE hangs on to beat Adamson, ends 30-game skid

MANILA, Philippines -- University of the East hung on to beat Adamson University, 53-47, to end its 30-game skid and claim its first win in the UAAP Season 89 men's basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Saturday, November 7. Determined to take their first win since October 16, 2024 in Season 87 second round where they beat the National University Bulldogs, the Red Warriors zoomed to a 17-5 start and did just enough to weather the Soaring Falcons fightback. Toper Lagat, JM Edoukou, and Mo Tanedo came through with timely baskets and free throws in the tightly-contested final canto, where UE scored seven points and Adamson three only. Tanedo finished with 14 points including the free throw that delivered the final count while also logging four boards for the cellar-dwelling UE. While already eliminated from Final Four contention, the Red Warriors improved to 1-10. Lagat likewise fired 14 points on top of our rebounds and two steals, as Edoukou logged 13 points and 10 boards. Manu Anabo pumped 14 points and five boards for Adamson, which fell to 4-7 for seventh place.

Hong Kong’s Bailee Brown calls triathlon ‘brutal, unforgiving’ after World Cup setback

Bailee Brown said she retained her passion for “brutal and unforgiving” triathlon, but there were “things to sort out” after the Hongkonger’s subpar home World Triathlon Cup performance on Saturday. Managing a stress fracture of her left calf bone, Brown paid heavily for missing her bike in transition following the swim, losing touch with the main pack and coming home 50th in 59 minutes and 34 seconds. The reliably tenacious Hilda Choi Yan-yin placed 37th in 58:06, with Cade Wright 39th in...

UST head coach Haydee Ong suspended after accumulating three infractions

UST head coach Haydee Ong suspended after accumulating three infractions

MANILA, Philippines — University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigresses head coach Haydee Ong has been slapped with a mandatory one-game suspension following the accumulation of three infractions in the UAAP Season 89 Collegiate Women’s Basketball Tournament. Coach Ong will sit out on Sunday, November 8, as the Growling Tigresses prepare to face the Far Eastern University (FEU) Lady Tamaraws at the SMART Araneta Coliseum. The suspension stems from UST's recent clash against De La Salle University, where the Tigresses bench was handed a technical foul for unsportsmanlike behavior at the 3:30 mark of the third quarter. The penalty was whistled after members of the coaching staff and players vocally and demonstratively disagreed with an official's call. This incident unfolded despite the team having already received an official warning in the second quarter for continually challenging officiating decisions. Under the updated UAAP House Rules, a one-game suspension is automatically triggered upon the accumulation of three infractions—an adjustment from last year's limit of two. Ong's first two infractions were recorded earlier in the season on October 17 during their matchup against the Ateneo de Manila University. The Growling Tigresses will look to adjust on the sidelines as they navigate Sunday's crucial encounter against the Lady Tamaraws without their veteran head coach. TMT
