FEU, Ateneo keep Freego Cup lead

MANILA, Philippines - Defending champion Far Eastern University and Ateneo blasted their respective rivals even as University of Santo Tomas finally barged into the win column of the sixth FCBL-Freego Cup Tuesday at the Philippine Buddhacare gym in Quezon City.

With Carl Lumba and JJ Domingo at the helm, the Baby Tamaraws crushed the hapless University of Perpetual Help Altalettes, 72-37, thanks to a dominating third quarter performance to notch their third straight win in as many outings.

Lumba and Domingo proved too hot to handle as they scored all but one of the team’s 22 points in that game-changing quarter with the former scattering 11 points, including a three-point play.

Ateneo dumped Jose Rizal University, 88-71, and stay unbeaten in the event presented by Freego and backed by Fresh Gear, Colt Commercial, Powerbest Mrkg. Inc., Jumbo Plastic Linoleum, Hapee Toothpaste and Insular Square of Cebu.
