NATIONAL UNIVERSITY launched its title-retention bid in style, dumping first-timer La Consolacion College, 109-82, to advance to the quarters of the 8th PSSBC-Freego Cup Sunday at the SGS Stadium in Quezon City.
The Bullpups, also the reigning UAAP champions, dominated the first two quarters, slowed down a bit in the third before finally putting away the La Consolacion dribblers with one big salvo at the start of the payoff period to win pulling away in Group A elims.

With La Consolacion’s second defeat in as many games, NU towed opening day winner La Salle Greenhills to the next round no matter what happens to their game Monday.
Top gunner Carl Tamayo was held to just 5 points but it hardly mattered as Kevin Quiambao, Gerry Abadiano and Terrence Fortea delivered the numbers expected from them.
Quiambao buried two triples on the way to scoring 20 points while Abadiano and Fortea added 19 and 18 points for the Bullpups looking to add this year’s title to its growing collection of titles.
The Greenies, who lost to the Bullpups in the final last season, outlasted La Consolacion, 87-85, in the opener last Saturday.
