Jose Rizal University pulled off a come-from-behind 74-68 triumph over Emilio Aguinaldo College to arrest a three-game skid.
Shooting guard Nate Matute waxed hot with 20 points, including 12 in the last five minutes, as the Bombers erased an eight-point deficit to beat the EAC side and improve to 3-4.
“The guys showed a lot of heart down the stretch. We were able to execute and remain calm when it mattered. We showed character today,’’ said JRU mentor Vergel Meneses, whose wards stayed in the hunt for a quarterfinal seat.
Matute uncorked two successive triples that gave JRU a 66-60 cushion entering the final 2:20. The Generals countered with a 5-0 blast but the Bombers put them away for good with five unanswered points.
Jan Jamon (16) led the way for EAC, which slipped to 2-5.
