RCadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines - Siya ang isa sa mga pi­na­­kamaliit na player nga­yon sa 91st NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Ngunit hindi ito hadlang para maipakita ng 5-foot-6 na si Mark Cruz ang kanyang pagdadala sa Letran Knights.

Kumamada si Cruz  ng 12 points sa fourth quarter para tulungan ang Knights sa come-from-behind 87-81 win laban sa Arellano Chiefs noong Biyernes na nag­pa­tibay sa kanilang pag-asa sa Final Four.

“He’s one of the lea­ders of this team so we rely on him to take and make the big shots,” sa­bi ni Letran rookie coach Aldin Ayo kay Cruz.

Tinapos ni Cruz, ang third round pick ng Star Hotshots sa nakaraang 2015 PBA Rookie Draft, ang laro na may 20 points na tinampukan ng apat na triples.

Nagtala din siya ng 8-of-10 shooting sa free throw line at naglista ng 4 rebounds at 4 assists.

Dahil sa kanyang ka­bayanihan ay hinirang si Cruz bilang ACCEL Quantum/3XVI-NCAA Press Corps Player of the Week.

Tinalo niya ang ka­kam­ping si Rey Namba­tac at sina Jose Rizal Hea­vy Bomber’s guard Paolo Pontejos at San Beda Red Lions’ star for­ward Arthur dela Cruz.
