In spite of being under the weather, Kevin Ferrer stepped and probably played the game of his life for the University of Santo Tomas this past week, earning a ACCEL Quantum / 3XVI UAAP Press Corps Player of the Week, beating out FEU Tamaraws Mac Belo and Mike Tolomia, as well as Gelo Alolino of the defending champions NU for the honor.
In the Growling Tigers' lone game during the period, the Sinag standout poured a career-high 27 points to complement a 68-58 come-from-behind, comeback victory over Ateneo, allowing them to secure their fourth win in five games.
UST head coach Bong dela Cruz lauded Kevin, "This is Kevin Ferrer. You can’t question his heart. He played sick and he fought whatever he was feeling during the game." He added, "We were flat on defense in the first three quarters. Kevin huddled the team. They responded well."
Ferrer acknowledged that the loss to NU helped them. "We relaxed after we went 3-0. After we lost, we talked to each other to talk about what we did wrong. It helped us for this game."
Dela Cruz admitted that the team is not looking ahead to the Final Four. "It’s still too early. We just want to work hard every practice and every game. We accept whatever is the outcome. We are not a team, we are a family right now."
