University of Santo Tomas star Nic Cabañero vowed to keep working hard and trusting the system after absorbing its 19th straight loss in the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball tournament.
Under the returning head coach Pido Jarencio, the school’s last championship mentor, UST continued to slide in 19 games, its longest in the school history following its 97-77 defeat against defending champion Ateneo on Wednesday, Oct. 18. For Cabañero, the hurt comes from his school pride as he wishes to someday leave a lasting legacy for UST through his collegiate career.
“So I think kailangan lang talaga naming mas mag trabaho pa and trust the system. Tiwala lang kami sa isa’t isa,” he added.
