Tams edge Warriors, in big win for Baracael

By ROY MEDINA
The FEU Tamaraws paid tribute to a wounded Marnel "Mac" Baracael as they won a tug-of-war against the UE Red Warriors, 71-69, in UAAP Season 71 mens basketball at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City Saturday.
FEUs Aldrech Ramos had two crucial free throws as the fourth quarter drew to a close and with the Warriors in penalty. Fellow Tamaraw Mark Barroca, meanwhile, sealed the win by sinking his first charity shot with less than 5 seconds to play and then grabbing the ball after missing the second free throw.
The moment, however, belonged to Benedict Fernandez who had an explosive fourth quarter. He finished with 19 points and three rebounds, effectively making him the best player of the game.
J.R. Cawaling likewise had a big game for the Tams. Cawaling became FEUs go-to guy, coming behind Fernandez with 12 points and three boards.
FEU now sits third in the standings with a 4-1 win-loss card while the Warriors ended the weekend with 3-3 to settle at fourth.

FEU dedicated the win for Baracael, who was wounded in a gun attack just outside the Tamaraws gym near the corner of R. Papa and N. Reyes streets in Manila Thursday night.
Doctors said Baracael is now in stable condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the back.
The motive of the attack remains unknown though unverified reports said that the power forward may have earned the ire of a syndicate of cheats in the FEU squad.
