The Benguet State University (BSU) Wildcats concluded their impressive BBEAL Season 36 run, bowing out of the tournament after a grueling semifinal battle. Despite a valiant effort and a late-game rally that sent the home crowd into a frenzy, the Wildcats fell just short against a formidable opponent, ending their championship aspirations.

Turnovers and crucial missed free throws in the final minutes proved costly for BSU, offsetting an spectacular high-scoring performance from their star forward. While the semifinal exit is a bittersweet end to a remarkable campaign, the Wildcats walk away with their heads held high, having proven themselves as one of the league’s elite contenders this season.
