Paul Lee waxed hot in the last 5 minutes of the game on his way to 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists as the University of the East Red Warriors beat the Far Eastern University Tamaraws.
Val Acuna started the three point barrage of the Red Warriors as he scored 11 of his 17 points in the 1st quarter. Parry Llagas asserted himself inside as he posted 19 points and 12 rebounds to help the Red Warriors get their 2nd ever Final Four win in the UAAP since the format was started in 1994.
Meanwhile, Aldrech Ramos and RR Garcia went on to score 12 points and 16 points respectively, as Paul Sanga tried to carry the Tamaraws with his outside shooting en route to scoring career-high 22 markers.
It was a close fought game until the 5 minute mark of the 4th, where Lee started his shooting barrage and the Tamaraws were never able to recover again as they were overshadowed these past few days with their former superstar guard and Smart Gilas co-captain Mark Barroca controversy regarding game fixing allegations.
The Red Warriors will face the Tamaraws again on Thursday as to see who advances to the UAAP Finals to face either the Ateneo Blue Eagles or the UST Growling Tigers, as the Blue Eagles and the Tigers start their Final Four encounter tomorrow, at the Araneta Coliseum.
