Game starts at 2pm. Page auto-refreshes every 30 seconds. It will be blood against blood when Jeric Teng and the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers take on younger brother Jeron and the rest of the De La Salle University Green Archers, 2pm on Saturday, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, as the 75th season of the UAAP continues.   The Archers started out with wins against the UP Fighting Maroons and the UE Red Warriors, but have since fallen back to .500 at 2-2, following loses to the FEU Tamaraws and the Ateneo Blue Eagles, the teams that comprised the last two UAAP Finals. Blue-chip rookie Jeron Teng has so far normed 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 29 minutes of play, with just one bad outing, versus FEU (six points, five rebounds in 31 minutes), to his name. On the other hand, UST has been streaking, bouncing back from an opening day loss to FEU with wins against Ateneo and National University, allowing them to sit at 2-1. After beating the Bulldogs, Growling Tigers head coach Pido Jarencio said that Jeric Teng could be MVP material, and he's not exaggerating at all. In 28 minutes, the older Teng brother is norming 18.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, while shooting 52.9 percent from downtown. La Salle currently boasts an impressive defense despite their record, allowing just 33.2 percent shooting from the field, 36.9 percent from inside the arc, but UST might prove tricky, as the Tigers get a significant amount of points off hustle points, 15.3 from offensive rebounds, and 18.3 off turnovers. A win would keep the Tigers in step with the top two teams in the league, ADMU and FEU, while DLSU is dead set on ending their skid. - AMD, GMA News Season 74 history lesson:
