THE National University Bulldogs leaned once more on the game-long brilliance of reigning league MVP Bobby Ray Parks to pull off an 81-77 win over the resilient Adamson Soaring Falcons in the 75th UAAP men’s basketball tournament yesterday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After scoring 35 points in a loss to La Salle last time out, the second-year phenom scored 31 points and added eight rebounds and five assists to tow his team to the win and improve its record to 5-3 (win-loss).
Emmanuel Mbe also added 14 points and 20 boards.
Adamson fell to 1-7 and played most of the game without starting center Rodney Brondial, who was ejected from the game for punching NU’s Jeoff Javillonar in the first period.
Eric Camson paced Adamson with 23 points and 11 rebounds. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
