UST opened the season with back-to-back victories before stumbling against the NU Bulldogs in their last outing.
Despite a career-high 18 points from Amiel Acido and 19 markers from Nic Cabañero, the Growling Tigers faded late and were outscored 18-8 in the final frame to drop to 2-1, tied with the DLSU Green Archers at third.
