REIGNING champion Bacolod Tay Tung High School forgot to play defense and University of St. La Salle capitalized on that miscue to take the title of the National Basketball Training Center Regional Championships with a 90-79 stunner at the Natalio G. Velez gym in Silay City Monday, February 13. The win gave the Ryan Nabor-mentored La Sallians the ticket to the national finals on March 13 to 16, 2017 at Mall of Asia Arena. BTTHS, which dominated the Bacolod Leg and were eyeing for a repeat, lived and died with center Miggy Corteza while USLS had a good shooting percentage from the perimeter and the arc and worked hard on defense.
