MANILA, Philippines — Joshua Yerro came to the rescue for Adamson, converting an alley-oop game winning basket as the Soaring Falcons escaped the NU Bulldogs, 60-58, in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Wednesday.
With 0.3 seconds left, John Calisay triggered the play off an inbound pass as Yerro soared to complete the basket before the game clock expired, preventing an overtime that was heavily considered when Jolo Manansala tied the count at 58 after a tough shot.
