Racela commends Tams despite loss

Although they failed to defend their title after losing, 69-68, to Ateneo de Manila University in the semifinals of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 79 men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, Far Eastern University (FEU) head coach Nash Racela is still proud of the Tamaraws.

“Well that’s a hard-fought game. I told my players you have to be proud of yourselves because we did our best. We are just a second away of winning the game. I asked them if they gave their best, they answered yes,” Racela, who celebrated his 45th birthday on Wednesday, said.
