"Yun pagkatalo namin sa UE is a wake-up call na marami pa kaming kailangan i-improve. This game, sobrang gigil kami na makuha itong panalo na ito dahil nga marami pa kaming kailangan i-improve," added KQ.

Tied at 42 after UP's second-half surge that allowed them to erase La Salle's 35-15 advantage, Quiambao and Lian Ramiro sparked a seven-to-nothing run for a 49-42 lead, with the former hitting a triple and lay-in in that spurt.

This, according to Quiambao, was a matter of the Archers applying the adjustments that their defeat against the Red Warriors taught them.

"Sinacrifice ko yung role ko as a veteran na 'di pala kailangan laging puntos," said Kevin. "Kailangan ko din i-involve yung teammates ko, at simula nung nag adjust kami lahat, madaming good things na nangyari sa amin. Doon namin napagtanto na sundin lagi yung coaches kasi nung first four games namin medyo lihis yung system sa gusto namin gawin," he added.

Moving into the second round, La Salle assistant mentor Gian Nazario said that they must not only apply the lessons of their first seven games, but they must also remain hungry as they continue their path for a repeat.

"We still have a lot to work on and a lot to learn kasi kung masatisfy na kami dito, that would be our downfall. So, I think what's best is these guys will be able to recover tomorrow, and practice na ulit. Yun naman talaga ang kailangan namin eh. Just like what KQ said also, we enjoyed the day, enjoyed the win. But tomorrow's another day," he pointed out.

As coach Benson Bocboc worded it, Daquis "never forgets to smile." Down two sets to nothing, Daquis — in both contexts of cheering the team up and scoring — spirited a comeback for the ages.

"Laging naka-ganiyan 'yan eh [naka-smile]. Kaya ayun, very positive kasi siya eh, kahit 'yung ibang tahimik nadadala niya," said Bocboc. "Tapos kahit na galit siya, naka-smile siya. So… ibang-iba 'yung energy."

"Struggle pa ako eh, kasi siyempre kahit nakabalik ako, kahit nagre-rehab and nagbubuhat ako, ‘yung control sa bola pa din ‘yun pa ‘yung missing sakin," Daquis said.

Daquis was just grateful for the team's trust in her as she shifted her focus on the things she could contribute to lift the team.

"Hindi naman ako sinukuan ng team ko, talagang inilaban nila ako. Best game, kasi talagang kailangan namin manalo ngayon pero mas may ilalabas pa tayo — basta huwag tayo mag-stop matuto, mag-adjust, and ‘yun siguro mag-focus pa ako sa anong matutulong ko," said Daquis.
