Suddenly, The Good News

77th

I haven’t got any good news for this past few days. I was disappointed by my little brother (another story), The girl of my dreams is not yet adding me in her friendster (again another lame and high-schoolish story) and my coming exam on December is not yet scheduled and I’m so freaked out right now that I can bang my head against the wall. But just tonight as I was having my late night news peak, I read two new wonderful news. Gathering from the logos on the post header above, I assume that you already know what I’m talking about. I’m an Atenean and Thomasian by heart (add it as an another story indeed) but when it comes to UAAP basketball, and these two teams faces off again, well All I can say is… Yeahhh Baby!!! Viva Sto. Tomas!!! But its still far from the finals. La Salle can still kick butt. But with all the sad news and grumpy events that happened to me these past few days, this I think is one of the best! I thought having DLSU again in the league will make the Tigers’ and Eagles’ life one heck of a hell. But all is going well yet slowly but surely. Not that easy, but smoothly.

Santo Tomas Trashes Adamson
by JP Abcede

More than University of Santo Tomas’ necessary and expected 74-62 victory against Adamson University, the story of the afternoon is the rumble in the jumble for pivotal spots going into the playoff round.

But to finish off the main story first, June Dizon’s jumper at 4:41 of the fourth quarter was the Growling Tigers’ farthest gap, 66-47.

Jervy Cruz led Santo Tomas with 24 points, all of them coming from the field for 80% shooting, and also fishing for 18 rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Dylan Ababou was the other double digit scorer with 11 and eight.

USTe grabbed an astonishing 60 boards, going along with 16 assists, six blocks, 18 fastbreak points, and 20 second chance points, despite hitting 27 errors and 30 fouls.

Jerick Canada and Patrick Cabahug were both tied for topscoring honors with 12 markers. Cabahug shot a dismal 4/22 at the field. Jan Colina and Roel Hugnatan had 11 each.

The Soaring Falcons were just firing bricks everywhere, going 1/13 at the three-point field, while making only 38% of their two-point attempts and 35% of their freethrows.

“Hindi pinaguusapan ang standing,” UST coach Pido Jarencio virtually echoing the same statements he made the last time he was interviewed after the game. “Alam mo naman tayo laging naka-ready.”

The outcome of the UST’s battle against Far Eastern University on September 13 would determine some pieces of the puzzle as a Tamaraw win would cause the two tied for fourth place with eight wins and six losses. If ever the Tigers win and both Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University drop their final projects, there would be a three-way logjam for second spot at 9-5.

“Pinagdadasal ko manalo team ko. Pinoproblema ko team ko,” Jarencio said. Once when playoff time comes and they are still in the fight, then they would let the other teams be troubled by the defending champs.

Ateneo Sweeps La Salle In Elims
by JP Abcede

It took a difference of a millisecond between losing and, probably, winning as Rico Maierhofer held the ball a little longer than necessary at the buzzer as Ateneo de Manila University escaped De La Salle University, 89-87.

Yuri Escueta drove and attracted the defense then kicked the ball out to a waiting Chris Tiu at right quarter court :17.8 to go for the marginal basket. With ample time for one more play, Casio missed a fadeaway jump shot from 15 feet with Maierhofer attempting to send the game into overtime but in vain.

“The guys showed a lot of grit and guts tonight,” said ADMU coach Norman Black. “(Escueta) is our main man.”

Tiu was 4/5 from the three-point country for 19 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Ford Arao had 18 markers on 8/10 freethrow marksmanship, grabbed eight boards, and dished two feeds.

Escueta had 16 points on a perfect 5/5 shooting and four assists in a career defining game. Eric Salamat had 15 and five assists, and Jobe Nkemakolam had an output of ten on 6/6 shooting at the line, and six caroms.

The Blue Eagles made 10/17 from outside on 50% overall field goal shooting, while making 81% of their freebies. They also had 19 assists and five blocks.

Maierhofer had a career best of 24 points and nine rebounds. Cholo Villanueva netted 18 markers. TY Tang had an all-around night with 15, eight boards, and five assists, while Bader Malabes scored 11.

The Archers made hay on the hustle department with 16 transition points and 16 turnover points.

Interestingly, Casio’s five points in the game were the last points of De La Salle in the match.

“It looks that way. We will be going to play this team again,” Black commented on Ateneo’s nemesis, who is on a tug-of-war battle for a twice-to-beat advantage. With this conquest, the blue and white is now tied with the vanquished at 9-4.

“Focus is now on NU. This victory would not mean anything if we lose against NU,” Black rued. “We only beat them by one point the first time around. All we have to do is beat NU and we are number two.”

Appropriately, that Ateneo versus National University tussle would close out the eliminations on September 15. The green and white faces the challenge of foiling University of the East’s sweep on September 13 at the Araneta Coliseum.

“I am expecting anything at this point,” and this is including a probable protest when asked by a reporter to Black in the postgame interview. “I have come to expect a last second play.”

ADMU stormed off a 13-3 start with Jai Reyes passing off to Noynoy Baclao from a pressbreak play, 7:01 in the first quarter. Not to be outdone, the Taft-based squad replied with a 14-0 kick to bridge the two periods with Villanueva hitting a three-point play off Ken Barracoso, 21-15, 9:47.

Arao tied the count with two freethrows off a Brian Ilad foul, 3:50 in the second, 30-all. Maierhofer responded with five straight to give the Green Archers headaway going into the locker, 40-33, 1:19.

A 7-0 start at the third gave DLSU its highest lead, 51-38, 8:23. Nevertheless, the Katipunan-based crew had an 8-2 finish concluded by a threes from Tiu and Eric Salamat, and a twisting layup from Nkemakolam to go within by one, 64-65.

Two straight Villanueva baskets forced Black to call an early timeout with Maierhofer’s split at the line providing a seven-point cushion, 73-66, 7:05. The leather was swung around by Tiu and Escueta to Salamat at the side for a trey and a tie, 75-all, with Escueta’s quick undergoal gave the Eagles the upperhand momentarily, less than four minutes remaining.

Tang’s three from near the top of the key evened things up once more, 79-all, as both sides pushed and pulled for the lead until Tiu’s game-winning three.

“I thought we won the first game,” Black stated. “A lot of people were questioning that with the protest.”

As for the referees, Black had this to say, “I was a little bit upset at times. But that is part of the passion of the game.”

    I like the Tigers logo, Army. It is somewhat similar to the Florida Panthers.

    @ Reynz, nakain pala ni akis etong comment mo, buti na lang tinitingnan ko ang spam comments bago ko idelete. Hehehe, I’m not from ateneo.. I wish I was… my parents were strict… they didn’t allow me to study in mega manila because of my notorious past… it will just remain in the bowels of my dreams.

    hahaha. forget the girl. saka na lang kapatid ko ibubunyag tunay na itsura nya and tell me kung masama ang panlasa ko sa babae. she’s one of a kind. she’s great and she’s sooo intelligent. one of my likes in girls ay yung mas matalino sa akin, pero when it comes to life, tameme sya sa akin. alam mo yun na tutunganga lang ako sa kanya pag di ko alam na kung ano na pinagsasasabi nya hahaha. its a whole different story. I will blog it as soon as she adds me up. she is the only girl who compliments me and my jokes. sya lang ang katapat ko. I want to marry her actually if she will give me a chance to prove my self… wahhhh tama na di ko na kaya hehehe. next topic na lang.

    teka guys, please give me advice, she said that she will add me up “again” but now hindi nya pa ako iniaadd. do you think I should make the move of adding her instead of waiting her to add me? i dont want to look too obsessed kasi sa kanya kahit medyo totoo hahaha. advice nga po kahit kaunti. ano ba yan pang high school hahaha

    If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always NO. If you don’t step forward, you’ll always be in the same place..take risks. You never know where it might lead you. :razz:

    Malen,

    I agree wid u. You gotta take risks. Wa risk, wa reward. Naku, kung andyan lang ako bluep, ibebenta kita. Magaling akong account executive. Gagawan pa kita nang marketing materials. I-po-promote pa kita. Gagawan kita nang slideshow presentation.

    Ako, if I see a guapitong lalaki, I always approach him - look him in da eye - pag tipong looking looking, then i say “I love you”. Ganun. Deretsahan. Which is what I did kani-kanina lang.

    *Sandali lang ha?

    *Namamaga pa kasi mukha ko gawa nong gwapo.
