mapua won convincingly against letran, 69-52...

jazul was off-rhythm in that game, he has an injury (sabi ng commentator), si daa naman eh may dalawang unsportsmanlike foul kaya ejected sya, na-eject siya nung last 2 minutes na lang, di ko alam kung may automatic suspension si daa next game. first foul nya is kay dela pena, kala kasi ni daa eh sisikuin sya ni dela pena pero mukhang di intentional na tutukan ng siko si daa, dela pena's just trying to protect the ball, kaya akala ni daa sisikuin sya, frustrated na ang letran nun at kung ako rerebound sa situation na yun, malamang ganun din ang gawin ko. the next foul was on mazo, yun talagang obvious, siniko nya si mazo nung nag-aagawan sila ng bola...

after three quarters, score nila was 67-38, mapua only scored 2 points in the 4th pero panalo pa rin.

Mapua keeps NCAA semis bid alive with win vs Letran
08/29/2008 | 05:09 PM

MANILA, Philippines – The Mapua Cardinals only scored two points in the fourth quarter but still managed to come out victorious.

Thanks to a 31-point third quarter explosion, the Cardinals coasted to a 69-52 win over former leader Letran Knights in Friday’s National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament at the Astrodome in Pasay City.

Enjoying a 36-23 halftime lead, the Cardinals torched the third quarter behind the combined efforts of playmaker Jonathan Banal and swingman Ian Mazo as Mapua outscored its next-door neighbors, 31-15.

The Cardinals ended that 31-point explosion with a closing 10-0 run to enjoy their biggest lead at 67-38 entering the final 10 minutes of the game. Banal's three-pointer at the buzzer gave Mapua a 29-point cushion heading into the fourth period.

But Mapua went cold in the final canto allowing Rey Guevarra and Letran to cut the lead to 20 points, 67-47, with still plenty of time on the clock (5:28).

Mapua also helped Letran’s cause going scoreless for more than five minutes.

Luck and time, however, was not on the Knights’ side missing three straight baskets and committing a turnover that could have helped trim further the Cardinals’ lead.

The Cardinals almost failed to score in the game with Mazo breaking Mapua’s nine-minute scoring drought when he sank two free throws 57 seconds left in the game clock and the final tally the only thing to be settled.

Mapua’s win had Final Four implications as they stayed in the hunt for a semis spot. The Cardinals now hold a 7-5 card just half-a-game behind the 8-4 slates of their victims, Jose Rizal University and San Sebastian.

Mapua needs to win its last two games against Perpetual Help on September 3 and JRU on September 5 then hope that no one among the Knights, Stags and the Heavy Bombers earn their ninth wins to force a playoff for the fourth semis berth.

Defending champion San Beda was all smiles after Letran’s loss as the Red Lions earned sole possession of the top spot with a 9-3 mark.

Ian Mazo paced the Cardinals with 20 points behind a four-of-eight shooting from beyond the arc. He also had six rebounds, four assists and two steals. – GMANews.TV

Muntikan nang maging scoreless ang Mapua kanina sa 4th period. Ang laki ba naman ng nilamang nila sa Letran eh. Si Daa eh nananakit lang eh. ejected tuloy.

Sino panalo between CSB and SSC?

San Sebastian wins 8th straight, zooms to second spot
08/29/2008 | 09:53 PM

MANILA, Philippines – The San Sebastian Stags and the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers now share the longest-winning streak in the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament.

San Sebastian joined the Heavy Bombers in winning eight straight games this season after the Stags rolled to a 58-51 decision against the College of Saint Benilde (CSB) Blazers Friday at the Astrodome in Pasay City.

The presence of Froilan Saquillo, who came off the bench to score 11 points, was enough for the Stags to secure a Final Four spot as the win improved San Sebastian’s record to a second-best 9-4 mark.

The win kept the Stags in sole possession of the second spot behind league-leading and defending champion San Beda’s 9-3 card.

The loss dropped the Blazers to a 4-9 slate. CSB hopes to close out season 84 with a win when they meet the University of Perpetual Help Altas on September 1.

JRU before had the longest winning streak of eight consecutive triumphs a run that started on July 7 and ended with a 71-59 loss to the Red Lions on August 22.

The Stags, after a 71-67 loss to last year’s finalist Letran Knights on July 16, began their victory lap with a 71-64 decision against the Philippine Christian University Dolphins on July 21.

The Stags have not lost for a month a streak that included hard-earned wins over Final Four contenders Mapua Cardinals, 64-62; the Knights, 76-73; and the Bombers, 52-47.

San Sebastian puts their eight-game winning run on the line when they face the Red Lions on September 3 with the hope of claiming its ninth triumph and an outright twice-to-beat incentive in the Final Four.

Saquillo kept the Blazers at bay when he completed a three-point play off a foul from CSB’s Anjelo Montecastro to give the Stags a 54-44 cushion in the final three minutes of the third period.

The Blazers managed to scatter scoring runs that allowed them to stay close with the Stags but could not find the knock out punch that could gave them the upset win.

The last time the Taft-based dribblers threatened was at 56-51 courtesy of Garri Sevilla’s three free throws after the CSB swingman was fouled by San Sebastian’s Pamboy Raymundo while attempting a three-point shot 26 seconds left in the game clock. – Andrew Lanot

NCAA Team Standings




nice talo na naman ang Knights! sobrang nagkalat sila sa game against Mapua, yung isa na-eject pa Letran must win all it's remaining games. kapag pare parehong 10-4 pala ang standings ng mga teams na pumasok sa F4, quotient na lang ng score nila yung mag-dedetermine kung sino yung #1-#4. kaya pa yan! hindi pa rin impossible ang Letran-San Beda Finals part 2!

### auto-merged ###

malas talaga kapag bumababa yung drummers sa half time! natatalo yung team! kanina pinababa ulit namin ang drummers para mag-traditional cheers kaso talo na naman itigil na nga yang drumline na yan ng Letran, patalo eh

ARRIBA LETRAN!

Pareng rafi, ang pagkakaalam ko pag nanalo ang baste sa last game nila against beda next week assured na sila ng twice to beat advantage.

-----

anong balita sa UAAP?

"Stupidity has a high price to pay"

malaki pa chance ng mapua, talunin lang nila ang JRU w/ 7 or more points bababa ang JRU sa 5th at aakyat ang MIT sa 4th.

unpredictable ngayon.

sept 3 Red Lions vs Stags, di rin masasabi na mananalo ang San Beda sa Baste ng basta basta, remember nung first round encounter nila nanalo ang Beda sa Baste ng 1pt lang, overtime pa yun.

sept 10 Knights vs Red Lions. who knows, maybe kaya natatalo ang Knights ay dahil pinaghahandaan nila ang Red Lions sa last game ng elimination round.

### auto-merged ###

kapag nagkataon pala classic NCAA ang Final Four:

San Beda
Letran
San Sebastian
Mapua[/colot]
