That same 2006 Season, Ateneo beat UST 114-78 in first round on August 6. Then prior to that, Adamson beat NU 116-103 on July 10, 2005.
Adamson Falcon Alex Nuyles dislocated his right shoulder following a collision with UP’s Mikee Reyes. He will be out for at most two weeks and return right before the end of the first round.
