UE gives FEU their 2nd loss for the season.

wow.. ang intense ng UE sa game against FEU. i love!! :)

87-72.

kung sana laging ganun ang ipinapakita nila sa mga games, edi bonggang-bonggang pang-championship na sana sila.


first of all.....

I SUPER LOVE ELMER ESPIRITU!!!!!!!


blocker, rebounder, DUNKER, all in one!!


grabe lang kung naka-ilang blocks sya. kung ilang dunks na bonggang-bongga. ka-windang.


sabi na nga ba di ako nagkamaling maging UE (Elmer Espritu) fan eh!!


first quarter pa lang, nag-pasabog na agad ang UE. first minutes pa lang, 13-4 agad. dun pa lang na-foresee ko na agad ang pagkapanalo nila. haha. pero seriously, na-feel ko agad na iba yung laro nila ngayon sa usual na laro nila this season. siguro kasi na-feel nilang nanonood ako. hahaha. sabi na nga ba ako ang lucky charm sa mga gusto kong teams eh. :))


actually, gusto ko naman pareho ang UE at FEU eh. it's just that... based on the standings, mas gusto kong manalo ngayon ang UE. kasi.... since nanalo kanina ang ADMU, sila na ang solo first. ang gusto kong maging standings:

ADMU (twice-to-beat advantage)
FEU
UE
UST (UP sana eh. haha. hindi kasi kasali ang UST sa real Final 4 ko.)


para at least.. kung twice-to-beat ang ADMU at UST ang makalaban nila, mas malaki ang chance na sila ang mapuntang Finals. sa FEU at UE naman... hmm... FEU sana sa finals. (kasi mas may kakayahan silang lumaban sa ADMU).


o anyway... back to the game.



winner talaga ang UE today. nagtulong-tulong ang lahat para manalo ang team.

pero syempre, may mga kelangan i-special mention.



Champ of the Game: Pari Llagas

okay naman yung laro niya. naka-24 points eh. lagi naman silang tatlo nila Paul Lee at Espiritu ang nagbubuhat sa team. :))


Maaasahan Player of the Game: Elmer Espiritu!!

woohoo!!! love talagaaaa....... lalo na pag nag-d-dunk sya... may kasamang angas!!!! hindi katulad ng ibang nag-d-dunk sa UAAP (ehem, Maierhofer). sa iba kasi may halong YABANG eh. sa kanya, ANGAS. magkaiba yun! :))


Doubles Duo: Paul Lee and Pari Llagas

Paul Lee!! as usual... napakagaling nya na naman gumawa ng plays. at mag-drive sa basket. at mag-3 points. at least sya, kung nag-a-angas man siya pagka-shoot, may karapatan siya! kasi nakakatulong siya sa team. hindi katulad ng iba, puro angas puro yabang, wala namang binatbat. HAHAHA. wala akong pinatatamaan, ok? :))



masaya din dahil nag-step up ang ibang players. sila Rudy Lingganay, Raffy Reyes, Paul Zamar, at iba pa... sorry hindi ko kilala lahat. pero naku ha, may isang player na pahamak. minsan na nga lang siya ipasok, puro Turnovers pa ang dala sa UE. tsk tsk. feeling kasi. sino kaya yun? haha.


alam ko magaling ang FEU. in fact, i want them to advance to the Finals. pero siguro, mas lamang lang talaga ang hunger at intensity ng UE ngayon. tsaka medyo off din talaga ang FEU ngayon. mahina ang defense (at offense na rin). wala rin yung Barroca na gusto ko. physically present but skillfully (?) absent. in short, OFF.


ayun. sana masunod yung Final Four standings na gusto ko. hindi man nakapasok ang UP ngayon, abangan niyo next year!! hahaha. :))



again, congrats to the UE Red Warriors and Ateneo Blue Eagles!!

The Eagles broke the Archers' arrows once again.

It was an Ateneo game from the very start.

There was no chance for an Overtime.

The Ateneo Blue Eagles dominated the whole game, up until the very end.



an EXCELLENT game, I must say.



81-65.


Game 1 (1st Round): ATENEO BLUE EAGLES

Game 2 (2nd Round): still ATENEO BLUE EAGLES



Good Job, Ateneo!



masaya ako.. kasi hindi nasayang ang panonood ko. hindi ko man nagawa ang 114 homework ko, ok lang kasi nanalo naman ang Ateneo. haha.

sa simula pa lang ng game, umaapoy na ang ateneo. 8-0 run sa first few minutes ng game. 12-2 sa mga sumunod pa.

ewan ko ba pero malas lang siguro talaga ang DLSU. kasi yung mga shots nila hindi maka-connect sa ring. tumatama man, lagi namang hindi pumapasok. pero sa Ateneo, lalo na kay Rabeh, parang feeling ko may magnet sa gitna ng ring na hinihila yung bola papasok. yun bang magugulat na lang ako na-shoot na pala. ang smooth kasi.


Champ of the Game si Rabeh Al-Hussaini. 26 points. his usual score. lalo na last season! no wonder siya ang MVP.

Doubles Duo sina Nico Salva at Eric Salamat. They deserve it!


ang mga super nag-lift ng team sa game na 'to for me ay sina Al-Hussaini, Nico Salva, Eric Salamat, Jai Reyes..

si Nico Salva, in fairness ngayon ko lang siya napansin na as in napansin as a player. kasi dati pinapasok siya, pero parang di ko siya maramdaman masyado. pero ngayon, wow.. may future ka, bata.

si Salamat... Thank you!! swiper ka talaga, kuya. hangga't makaka-steal ka, ita-try mo talaga. magaling, magaling. at natuwa ako nung naka-shoot ka nung isang fastbreak, tas sumaludo ka sa Ateneo crowd. that was nice.

si Jai Reyes. three-pointer talaga. kaya hindi ko masyadong ma-feel ang pagkawala ni Chris Tiu dahil sayo. magkamukha na nga, pareho pa kayong nag-ti-3 points. hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin ma-absorb na may asawa ka na. hahaha. i know, walang konek sa game. :))

si Kirk Long!! naka-ilang shots siya na nakakawindang. parang hindi mo maiisip na magagawa niya. haha. ilang beses niya ring napatayo si Chris Tiu! hahaha. i'm happy for you, Kirk! at least ngayon marami ka nang playing minutes.

si Baclao ok lang pero hindi siya yung tulad ng dating "I am Nonoy".na feel na feel ang presence sa court. medyo nakulangan lang ako sa kanya. pero nakaka-shoot din naman siya at syempre nakaka-block. yun naman talaga ang expectation sa kanya eh. mahusay na defender.

si Buenafe, hindi ko rin masyadong na-feel yung dating "rookie with a heart of a veteran" spirit niya. siguro medyo off lang siya ngayon. pero ok lang.. i know babawi siya sa ibang games. :D


all in all, masaya ako sa pinakita nila. pinapatunayan lang nila na sila talaga ang karapat-dapat na Champions last season. (hindi ko masabi na ngayong season dahil honestly, FEU ang gusto kong mag-champion. haha. but that's another story. :P)


si Chris Tiu, grabeeeeee.... ilang beses siya na-focus sa camera. at as usual, gwapo pa rin. hahaha. ang swerte naman ni Ambassador Kristie Kenney. lagi na lang siyang katabi ni Chris tsaka ni TY Tang. nung first game sila sila din magkakatabi eh.


sa La Salle.... umm... better luck next time na lang mga tsong. HAHA. palakas muna kayo. :))



P.S: Congrats uli sa UP Fighting Maroons!! dagdagan pa natin ang 2!!


at kung hindi mo pa napapanood ang bagong commercial ni Chris Tiu na sooooobrang cheesy.... heto, panoorin mo. :))

Maroons collar Bulldogs

The University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons hung tough to nip the National University (NU) Bulldogs, 78-76, during Saturday’s University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) at the Araneta Coliseum.

Learning from its 69-77 overtime loss to University of the East in the first round, UP did not give NU a chance to attempt a game-tying triple in the dying seconds.

With UP clinging to a precarious three-point lead, 78-75, Moriah Gingerich fouled NU’s Joseph Hermosisima before he could launch a three-point shot in the final two seconds.

After sinking his first free throw, Hermosisima intentionally missed his second attempt but NU failed to follow-up that could have sent the game into overtime.

“We have learned from our loss to UE. I specifically gave instruction to foul before they (NU Bulldogs) could attempt. I’d rather give up two free throws than a three-point shot in that kind of situation,” UP coach Aboy Castro said.

In that overtime loss, UP watched UE’s Val Acuna sank a game-tying triple at the buzzer sending the game into overtime where the Red Warriors wrested control.

UP trailed NU in the first half but a near bench-clearing melee helped the Fighting Maroons turn their fortunes around.

Migs Maniego, who erupted for 15 points in the first half, was involved in a scuffle with NU’s Joseph Terso at 5:24 mark of the second period. The shoving escalated as Jewel Ponferrada and Jerome Tungcul entered the court to join the melee.

Ponferrada and Tungcul were assessed with disqualifying fouls for leaving the bench while Maniego, Terso and NU Coach Manny Dandan were each slapped with a technical foul.

Without Ponferrada inside the paint for NU, the Fighting Maroons pounded the hapless Bulldogs in the third canto as they took a 78-69 lead going into the payoff period.

The Maroons exploded for 33 points on an eye-popping 82 percent shooting from the field in that game turning third period.

Martin Reyes poured in 15 of his team-high 17 points in the second half to lead UP to its second win of the season.

Hermosisima saw his career-high 25 points went for naught as NU went down to 2-5 tying UP and Adamson Falcons at the cellar.

The Scores:

UP 78 – Martin Reyes 17, Maniego 15, Mikee Reyes 14, Sison 10, Co 10, Padilla 4, Carlo 2, Gamboa 2, Astorga 2, Lopez 1, Juruena 1, Gingerich 0, Braganza 0.

NU 76 – Hermosisima 25, Cabaluna 18, Singh 10, Baloran 8, Manito 7, Terso 4, Ponferrada 2, Magat 1, Luy 1, Tungcul 0, Roy 0, Fabula 0, Batac 0.

Quarters: 22-23, 35-43, 68-59, 78-76.
