After a season that has seen dark clouds hover above its collegiate basketball program, the Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U) Wildcats finally saw sunshine.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0 as they notched their very first win of the season with a 75-70 win over the University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars in the seniors division of the 2011 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (CESAFI) basketball tournament late Tuesday night at the Cebu Coliseum.<\/p>\n
It has been a tournament to forget for the wards of head coach Gilbert Demape as they were mired in a nine-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
However, that downward spiral came to a stop, thanks to the 30-point performance of Floyd Taboada and their gritty defensive stand down the stretch when the Jaguars threantened to snatch the victory away.<\/p>\n
CIT-U appeared well in control of the lead, 61-54, with 6:25 left in the game.<\/p>\n
However, that lead was obliterated in a little over a minute by the Jaguars, which got five straight points from Abulaiz Suliman and a short stab by Jose Tabaloc.<\/p>\n
The game was last tied at 65-all after two freethrows by Medjet dela Rama off a technical foul that was assessed on Chester Curso after a confrontation with USJ-R’s Jason Olbedado.<\/p>\n
The Wildcats fed off that incident and rattled off four straight points, 69-65.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars last threatened at 70-71,\u00a0 but CIT-U held on to improve its record to 1-9 (win-loss). USJ-R finished their season off with a 2-10 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
