He also had 11 boards to complete another double-double performance apart from tallying 3 assists to win the coveted Finals MVP plum.

La Salle’s feat in the pre-season tournament could serve as an added motivation to its Team A which starts its title series against UP Team A in the UAAP starting Sunday, Dec. 8, at the Araneta Coliseum.

With Amos joining hands with Santi Romero, Bright Nwankwo and Russel Ogana, the Archers surged to a 14-3 advantage, a lead they padded to as many as 17 points in the second quarter.

The absence of UP’s top gunner Rey Remogat made the job a lot easier for the Archers who drew 18 and 17 points from Nwankwo and Ogano.

Jacob Cortez tallied only 6 points for La Salle in almost 33 minutes of action but he masterfully quarterbacked the team’s offense that saw them score 44 points from the paint and another 15 on fastbreak plays. 

Meantime, reigning UCAL champion Centro Escolar University salvaged third by downing Olivarez College, 80-66.
