TOLD YA SO.

DLSU wins the tiebreaker match over FEU, 62-59 and now enjoys a twice-to-beat advantage over the Tamaraws.

Leading the way for the Archers were JV Casio (16 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assists) and Rico Maierhofer (14 pts plus a ton of offensive rebounds). Providing ample support were Malabes and Atkins, whose 3rd quarter effort pushed the Archers from a 2 point deficit to a 10pt lead in about half a quarter. But when FEU made that final push, it was Maierhofer with an unexpected threepointer and JV Casio with a beautiful spin move who put the game away.

For the Tamaraws, it was their big men (Cervantes and the comebacking Baracael) who proved to be the biggest horn in the Archers' side even as Barroca and Knuttel had subpar games. Despite their struggles, the Tams still had a chance to tie the game (Cawaling's threepointer rimmed out) proving that DLSU is far from invincible.

This weekend, DLSU and Ateneo try to forge another dream match up. Will they succeed?
