Ben Mbala came through with a monster performance as De La Salle University drubbed National University (NU), 101-76, to snare the last twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 80 men’s basketball tournament on Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum. Mbala erupted for 30 points on an efficient 8-of-13 shooting clip as the Green Archers secured the No. “This is a morale booster for us especially we’re going to face Ateneo next game. We want to win that game so that our confidence will remain going into the Final Four,” said La Salle captain Kib Montalbo. Mbala and Montalbo joined forces in posting eight unanswered points as La Salle closed out the third frame with a comfortable 73-57 cushion.
