They were racking up W's just trying to stay close in the hunt for that coveted UAAP crown. While they haven't forgotten about how to win games, they also haven't forgotten their loss to the National University Bulldogs last month. The Adamson Soaring Falcons waited patiently for the day to redeem themselves of the loss at the time. On a Thursday afternoon of August 18, they got their wish.

Adamson Coach Leo Austria made sure his team wouldn't let the Bulldogs get 0-2 over them. With that in mind, the Falcons knew exactly what to do. All they had to do was play their usual game and just let National U's rook Bobby Ray Parks Jr. score -- literally. That was pretty much exactly what they did.

And the result, they won the game.

Falcons' swingman Alex Nuyles lead his team with 13 points, 3 rebounds and dropped 5 dimes. His teammate Janus Lozada also had 13 points, grabbed 5 boards and 2 assists.

Rookie Superstar Bobby Ray Parks Jr. finished with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal for the Bulldogs. Emmanuel Mbe didn't score much but he did manned the paint and chalked up 6 points, grabbed 13 boards and blocked one shot.
