De La Salle bounced back in convincing style and dominated University of Santo Tomas, 91-71, in the first round of the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Green Archers were dominant from start until the buzzer to improve their record to 2-1.
Kevin Quiambao and Joshua David joined hands to help La Salle bounce back from its 77-72 defeat against defending champion and rival Ateneo earlier this week.
La Salle then continued with the onslaught and led by 20, 39-19, off a Quiambao three-pointer, but UST unloaded a 9-0 run to trim the deficit to 11.
However, the Green Archers were unfazed and stretched their lead to as much as 26 points in the third quarter, the biggest of the match off a Quiambao layup, 66-40.
This time though, the gap had become too much for UST.
“After our last games, the guys really came into this game and fought it out not only as a team but as a program,” La Salle head coach Topex Robinson said.
Nic Cabanero was the lone bright spot for the Growling Tigers in the losing cause as they continue to slide 16 games in a row dating from last season.
