“I always said before the start of the tournament that I didn’t really know as a coach what to expect from our team given the very minimal time of preparation,” Racela said. “But I was really surprised with how the team developed, and with how we progressed over parts of the tournament.” Despite having veterans like John Lloyd Clemente, Shaun Ildefonso, Enzo Joson, and Issa Gaye, NU instead got consistent contributions from rookie guard Janjan Felicilda, third-year forward Michael Malonzo, and former juniors rookie-MVP Jake Figueroa.
“It’s not only Jake who’s playing well. Steve Nash is playing great, and Janjan and Mike are playing great as well. It just so happened that these guys aren’t robots, and they also get tired,” he said in Filipino after the tough season-ending loss to La Salle.
