De La Salle University was simply too much for the skidding University of Santo Tomas (UST), coasting to a 94-59 victory to secure a playoff for the No. Ricci Rivero added 16 points while Jolo Go and Prince Rivero chipped in 12 and 10 markers, respectively, for the Taft-based team. Marvin Lee led all scorers with 25 points while Steve Akomo was the only other UST player in double figures with 14. It was the fourth straight time La Salle scored a huge victory over UST. Last season, La Salle also waylaid the Growling Tigers, 110-62 in the first round and 99-56 in the second round of Season 79 where UST finished 3-11.
