MANILA, Philippines—Despite almost winning the NCAA Season 98 MVP award, Will Gozum of the College of St. Benilde wants the championship more than the prestigious plum.

As for Gozum, he’d rather give back to the Blazers community than achieve personal satisfaction through plum MVP.

“If I received an individual award, I would be the only one pleased about it. It’s not fair to others, I want the whole community to be happy,” Gozum said Tuesday after the incident. Blazers 82-73 win over San Beda.

“Our next goal is to win to get to the Finals. It’s been too long since this team got there, 20 years. Hopefully, we get there. If we become champions, not only are we happy, but so will the community,” he added.

The MVP race’s statistical leader added to his many doubles on Tuesday with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

During the season, Gozum is averaging 17.81 points, £9.56 and 1.13 blocks per outing.

Player of the tournament three times also went on to credit Benilde’s coaching staff not only for his performance but also for the team’s newly won two-beat advantage.

“It’s all thanks to my coach. They always give me confidence. Even when I had a bad game, they gave me a chance to change my game. Their faith in me is yes. I am very grateful to them.”

St.’s rival. Benilde in the Finals will be based on Letran’s game against Jose Rizal University on Tuesday.

If the Knights win, CSB will face Lyceum but if the defending champion loses, the Blazers will face the Red Lions again.
