Miekho Natinga shattered the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) event record for most three-pointers made in a single game with 13, leading National University Nazareth School (NUNS) to a massive 124-41 win over the University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 88 boys’ basketball tournament on Sunday at the Blue Eagle Gym.

Natinga made history by draining 13 of his 20 attempts from beyond the arc, surpassing the previous record held by De La Salle University’s Luisa San Juan for women (Season 87) and Bulldogs head coach Jeff Napa (Season 65), as well as University of the East legend Allan Caidic (Season 48) for men.

The 19-year-old guard from Bukidnon finished his historic performance by outscoring the entire UPIS team — which managed just 41 points on 13-of-55 shooting — with 44 points on 15-of-22 shooting, adding two rebounds to help NUNS snap a two-game skid and improve to a 3-2 record.

“I feel very proud of what Miekho has done because you don’t usually see a player who can pull off something like this because it is a hard thing to do,” said Bullpups head coach Kevin de Castro.

NUNS wasted no time finding its rhythm, scoring 61 points and dishing out 22 assists on an efficient 24-of-36 shooting clip, while holding UPIS to just 18 first-half points and forcing 14 turnovers.

In the third period, the Bullpups kept up the pressure. Natinga drained four consecutive triples — highlighted by a four-point play — before hitting a midrange jumper that put UPIS in a 95-27 hole heading into the fourth.

With Napa giving him the green light to chase his milestone, Natinga nailed three more triples to officially break the record at the 112-36 at the 3:14 mark of the payoff period, then added two more to cement his place in the history books.

Shaun Lucido finished with 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal, while Malian center Moussa Diakite contributed all of his 16 points, 10 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one assist in the first half.

Mot Matias added four points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and two steals, while Lebron Manding and Rhon-j Matias chipped in six points each.

For UPIS, which remained winless through five games, Jhustin Hallare scored 17 points on 5-of-17 shooting, adding three rebounds and three assists, while Bruce Tubongbanua struggled with four points on 1-of-8 shooting and seven turnovers.

Meanwhile, Nigerian center Yusuf Mikailu and Maco Dabao powered De La Salle Zobel to a wire-to-wire 71-45 victory over Adamson University.
