𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 | SSU Deer stampede through intercollegiate basketball opener

The Samar State University Deer already started off their tournament run with a streak as they clocked in two wins in their first opening matchups at the Bontoc Intercollegiate Basketball Men's Tournament at Bontoc, Southern Leyte.

SSU Deer outran the fangs of the Visayas State University Pythons as they left behind their basketball squad, 89-75, on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

The Deer continued their stampede on Monday, January 6, as they trampled the Leyte Colleges, Inc bet in their second matchup, 71-65, starting off a SSU victory run in the tournament standings.

As the tournament has just started, the first two victories of the SSU Deer will set them up nicely as they leave their collegiate counterparts behind to secure their tournament podium hopes.
