National University secured its first Season 87 victory on September 14, at Smart Araneta Coliseum, overpowering Far Eastern University 62-60 with 15-0 fourth quarter run.
FEU, however, remained in the lead against NU during the third quarter with a quarter score of 55-44, managing its way against NU's team efforts.
Yet, NU managed to find its rhythm, having a 15-0 streak during the final five minutes of the game, topped off with a three-pointer from Donn Lim and PJ Palacielo hitting one out of his two free throws.
FEU's rookie Janrey Pasaol tried to take a shot from beyond the arc. He missed the shot but was sent to the free-throw line, where he missed all his attempts.
“Hinayaan ko lang sila. Pinagkatiwalaan ko lang silang mag laro,” said Coach Jeff on what influenced their fourth quarter scoring streak.
NU Bulldogs trailed as The FEU Tamaraws led 24-13 and 33-31 at halftime. However, the bulldogs managed to cope against the Tamaraw's strategies by utilizing their bench efforts and organizing team play offensively and defensively
FEU lost even after the outstanding performances of Mohamed Konateh, who had a double-double performance of 17 points followed by 16 rebounds, and Rookie Veejay Pre, who had 15 points followed by 11 rebounds.
NU secured the win despite none of the players reaching double-digit scoring figures, with PJ Palacielo leading NU with 9 Points coupled with 6 rebounds, Jake Figueroa with 8 points and rebounds, and Kenshin Padrones with 8 points and 10 rebounds.
