The UST Growling Tigers suffer a heartbreaking end to their up-and-down UAAP Season 88 men's basketball tournament, bowing to the five-time finals-bound UP Fighting Maroons in an 82-81 thriller.

Outgoing captains and veteran stars Forthsky Padrigao and Nic Cabañero console the promising holdovers of the rising Tigers, who will also lose Kyle Paranada and Leland Estacio to graduation.

The likes of Gelo Crisostomo and Rookie of the Year Collins Akowe will be left to lead UST in Season 89. | via JR Isaga/Rappler
