Tama nga hula ko isa ka sa mga naka bass drum na yun. Kala ko nga mga high school lang yun. Astig ah kayo pa lang pala ang gumagawa nun.

@kid HS? mukha bang mga bata? hehehe! ang alam ko yung ibang schools nag-babalak na rin mag-drumline sa NCAA, sa UAAP kasi halos common na ang Drumline sa halftime eh.

updated team stadings, may quotient rule na

ARRIBA LETRAN!

ang ganda ng NCAA ngayon ah. 3-way tie sa top spot between Letran, JRU & San Beda. only 2 games separate the top 5 teams. nasa 5th ang MIT. sana makahabol sila.

nakahabol ang JRU at San Beda sa Letran

"Stupidity has a high price to pay"

Maganda ang laro bukas Baste vs JRU. Pag nanalo ang Baste same record na din sila ng JRU.

-----

pero Winner over the Loser yan kaya sa standings, lalabas na pang-third ang Baste sa JRU if ever na manalo ang Baste bukas.

pano kaya kapag after ng elimination round, 10-4 ang Letran, San beda, San Sebastian at JRU?

-----
ARRIBA LETRAN!

Yun nga din iniisip ko eh. Log jam sila sa standing. Yung mapua may chance pa naman eh. Yung mga remaining games nga lang nila mga malulupet din.

-----

oo nga pala may chance pa ang Mapua, pero parang hanggang chance na lang yun. My Prediction, ito ang magiging Win-Loss Record ng Final Four Teams

San Beda College: 11-3 or 10-4, sa remaining games ng Red Lions parang yung game nila against sa Knights sila mahihirapan. Hindi natin alam kung ano pang ALAS ang tinatago ni Coach Louie Alas.

Letran College: 11-3 or 10-4, two of the last three games will be tough games for the Knights pero I still believe na malalagpasan nila yun. kahit na sabihin na kontra-pelo lagi ng Letran ang Mapua, feeling ko this year makaka 2-0 sila ngayon sa Cardinals unlike the previous years na 1-1 sila lagi. as I've said sa San Beda, malay natin kung ano pang ALAS ang tinatago ni Coach Louie kaya may possibility pa rin na matalo ng Knights ang Red Lions.

JRU: 10-4 or 9-5, the Heavy Bomber will loss to the Stags this wednesday. Nag-iinit ang Stags ngayon, I think they had the talent to defeat the Heavy Bombers. Cardinals, 50-50 chances of beating the Heavy Bombers

San Sebastian College: 9-5 They will beat Heavy Bombers and the Blazers pero they will lose to the Cardinals.

come Final Four and San Beda & Letran will both get the Twice-to-Beat Advantage and eventually will advance to the Finals. kapag ito ang nasunod, pinturahan na ng Blue at Red ang Big Dome "SEA of BLUE, OCEAN of RED" na yan panigurado! full support ang "DUGONG ARRIBA" ng Letran at "RED ARMY" ng San Beda panigurado

ARRIBA LETRAN!

Hula ko:
1.San Beda
2.Baste
3.Letran
4.JRU

Crucial games for SBC, JRU
manila bulletin

Defending champion San Beda College and Jose Rizal University try to boost their twice-to-beat bids when they go up against separate rivals today in the NCAA basketball tournament at the Astrodome.


The Red Lions clash with the College of St. Benilde Blazers at 4 p.m., while the Heavy Bombers collide with the San Sebastian College Stags at 2 O’Clock.

A victory for both San Beda and JRU, which tote similar 8-3 records along with idle Letran at the top of the standings, will formally give them Final 4 berths while moving a step nearer the coveted twice-to-beat incentive for the top two squads after the eliminations.

San Beda’s 74-51 win over the Blazers in the first round was forfeited after Sam Ekwe wore a different uniform during their game.

Though the Red Lions lost two more games against JRU and Mapua, coach Frankie Lim said his boys have already learned from their past mistakes.

He expects his boys to play with lots of fire and passion this time as they are eager to get back at the Blazers.

"It requires a lot of energy and defense. It’s not easy. It’s hard to be No. 1. It’s harder to stay No. 1," Lim said. "The expectations are higher. We are just trying to push ourselves to reach that certain level."

Both San Beda and St. Benilde are coming off big victories. The Red Lions edged JRU, 71-59, last Monday, while the Blazers stunned Mapua, 66-56, a week ago.

Though the Blazers are already out of the running in the Final Four, the Taft-based dribblers are eager to end their campaign on a high note, and beating the Red Lions on the court is foremost on their minds.

"We do not want to pressure ourselves. As long as we improve in every game," Blazers mentor Gee Abanilla said.

The Stags are the hottest team so far by winning their last six games that improved their record to 7-4.

Aside from their win-run, the Stags enjoy a big psychological advantage going into today’s crucial game owing to their 57-54 win over the Heavy Bombers in the first round.

Another thing going for the Stags is that the Heavy Bombers are still smarting from a 71-59 defeat from the Red Lions.

"The Stags are a solid team and the only unbeaten team in the second round. Hopefully, they are due for one (loss)," JRU coach Ariel Vanguardia said. "We also lost to a hungrier San Beda in the last game."

The showdown between JRU’s James Sena and San Sebastian’s Jason Ballesteros at the paint is expected to provide extra color to the game.

The 6-foot-6 Sena is averaging 15 points and six rebounds a game while Ballesteros norms 9.9 points, 13 boards and three block shots.

Providing reinforcements for the Heavy Bombers are Marc Cagoco, John Wilson, Jay-R Bulangis and Reycon Cabigting, while the Stags will lean on Jim Viray, Raymond Maconocido and John Raymundo.

sana manalo ang San Beda

(NCAA Update) San Sebastian beats JRU for 7th win a row
08/27/2008 | 04:44 PM

MANILA, Philippines – Coach Jorge Gallent doesn’t want to get into any championship discussions yet.

He just lets his San Sebastian team’s play do most of the talking.

The Stags scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and came up with key defensive stops down the homestretch to beat the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers 52-47 in the men’s basketball tournament of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Wednesday at the Astrodome in Pasay City.

It was San Sebastian’s seventh straight victory and the storied varsity-basketball team is looking at doing something they haven’t accomplished in the last two seasons: make it to the semifinals.

“We were listless in the first half of the game but once we picked up the pace and we started to run—which is really our bread and butter—we gained the confidence we needed to put away JRU," Gallent said.

At one point in the tournament, the Stags were 1-4 and appeared to be on the brink of another underachieving season.

But the Stags got their act together after a close loss to defending champion San Beda last July 14 and now, their 8-4 record has them in contention for the no.1 spot.

“After the San Beda game, we realized we could play with the big teams. As long as we play loose and we got out there and speed up the game, we’ll be okay," Gallent said.

JRU was in command for three quarters but the Bombers never had a chance to pull away.

From a 38-33 deficit going into the fourth, San Sebastian unleashed a 13-2 run and kept JRU scoreless for more than six minutes to take a 48-40 lead.

John Wilson’s three-pointer ended the JRU drought and the Bombers were within 48-43 with 2:23 left in the game.

Another San Sebastian turnover led to a Wilson transition basket that made it 48-47 with 14.1 seconds to go.

But Raymond Maconocido made four free throws and Wilson missed a three-pointer that iced the game for the Stags.

No Stag scored in double figures but seven San Sebastian players scored at least six points.

Guard John Raymundo, who jumpstarted San Sebastian’s fourth-quarter run, finished with four points, six assists and no turnovers in 16 minutes. Jason Ballesteros added 16 rebounds and three blocked shots.

James Sena had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Bombers (8-4), who lost back-to-back after winning eight straight. – GMANews.TV

Potek talo pala JRU..mukhang dikit na dikit na talaga nito ang standing..di pa din sigurado kung sino ang mapupunta sa taas..sana makuha ng JRU at least yung number 2 para di masyadong mahirap ang sitwasyon nila..

Tama ba yung nabasa ko?..38-33 ang score nung magstart ang 4th?.. sobra namang low scoring ang laro pala..

Meron ba nakakaalam sa inyo kung last year na ni Sena this years sa NCAA?..baka last year na niya eh sayang.dapat magchampion na sila..
