For providing the points needed for Far Eastern U to earn the second twice-to-beat advantage in the coming UAAP Season 72 Final Four, Reil Cervantes was chosen by the UAAP Press Corps as its Accel-Filoil Player of the Week.

Cervantes, known more for his defense than offense, came up with a personal career-high 20 points to make up for the absence of big men Jaymo Equilos and Pipo Noundou and immensely help the Tams to a pivotal 71-69 overtime triumph over La Salle that gave them the second semifinal incentive.

“Kulang kami ng mga malalaki kaya kailangan kong magstep-up,” said the 21-year-old BS Sports Recreational Management student, who scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half, leading the FEU squad’s comeback from an 11-point deficit that gave the Tams their first twice-to-beat incentive since winning the 2005 crown.
