University of the East, like there previous 1st round encounter, took a while than usual to enjoy a 73-68 victory over the Ateneo Blue Eagles and claim its 8th win in eight games in the continuation of the UAAP season 70 at the Araneta Coliseum last August 12.
The Red Warriors are still on top of the standings with an 8-0 record, enjoying a three-game advantage over FEU and La Salle.
Four red shirts had double digit markers. Mark Borboran topped the tally sheet with 16 points while Elmer Espiritu listed 15 points including three 3-pointers. Paul Lee and Marcy Arellano bagged 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Ford Arao and Chris Tiu made a combined 25 points to lead the Blue Eagles scoreboard.
The Red Warriors, which enjoyed more than 15-point leads in its previous games went under obscurity but still managed to find composure down the stretch.
“We had difficulty inside the post. They had big men who were really tall and had wide bodies,� noted Coach Dindo Pumaren after the game.
Ateneo made two three-pointers at the start of the first period. But the Blue Eagles could not sustain the lead as the first quarter ended 18-14 in favor of UE.
However in the second quarter, things started to heat up for the blue shirts as Ateneo ignited a 15-0 run and establish a 9-point lead, 29-20, with 4:48 minutes to play.
Elmer Espiritu’s hot hands converted three three-point baskets to cut the lead to three. The first half ended with the Warriors trailing behind Ateneo, 38-35.
In the third quarter, Ateneo’s big men took charge of the game. Arao, Siverino Baclao, Rabeth Al-Husaini and Ken Barracoso led the scoring for the Eagles.
UE still led with 57.3 seconds left to play until Jai Reyes and Tiu made back to back 18-footers to give Ateneo back the lead, 59-55.
In the fourth quarter, the Red Warriors sparked a vital 6-0 run with 8:10 minutes that gave UE a four-point lead, 65-61. Ford Arao failed to complete a three-point play but his Field Goal still tallied a 69-66 UE lead. Both teams looked for baskets in the final four minutes but could not find any until Marcy Arellano converted on a jumper with only 1:06 left to play in regulation.
Paul Lee fouled Tiu from the three point arc but the Ateneo Combo Guard could only nail 2 of 3 baskets from the stripe. Lee’s 2/2 FTs sealed the win for the Red Warriors.
Coach Dindo Pumaren is proud of his players and added, “We cannot win in scoring against other teams. We are no. 1 in offense because of our defense�.

UST is not making a big fuss about it because if they do then their championship last year could be revoked. Ateneo is not making a big fuss either cos they have somethings to hide like the Kirk Long issue of having incomplete documents. Thats how they are. UST is not raising the Borboran issue because then UE might raise the falsification of public documents issue of Duncil. FEU is not raiing the issue because of the alleged gambling that got a player sacked.
Eksakto!

If it is proven that Duncil submitted fabricated documents then no matter how old he was would not be the issue. It would be the validity of the documents submitted.

The eligibility is not the issue. He is eligible fine. But when you have 2 birth certificates don’t you think it is worth looking into?

Why some of you questioning the Eligibility. Is it because your team loses to UE. It’s our moment to shine in UAAP Mens Basketball. UEan is not a cheater. We win because of our hardwork. Unlike other school there. Famous but cheaters. :D peace..

ok.. so If I get it right, and to simply put, cheating really happens in this league! at yun e sa pasimpleng paraan.. kumbaga wag lang magpapahuli! and it happens not only with one team.. worst and based on this forum, may mga mgkkakuntyaba. So are we on the same page that we have no choice but to face this stupid and shameful reality??

huwag na nga natin gawin issue yung age ni borboran. i’m looking forward to thursday’s game between la salle and ue.
para bang preview na of the finals, hehe.
anyway, if la salle reaches the finals, most likely it will be ue that we’ll be facing.
so sa mga taga-la salle, the focus now is winning thursday’s game as if we’re now in the finals.
disclaimer: i did not say the other schools have no chances of reaching the finals.

bkit kaya ngayon lang inuungkat yung issue laban kay borboran? dahil ba pasok na sila sa finals and sweep the season? duh! napaka selfish ng mga teams na nagsasabi ng mga ganyan.. i think they should accept the reality na sobra ang determination ng UE to win this season. respect lang sana sa efforts na pinapakita ng team. admit it guys. they have good players, the best coach, unity and a heart, don’t try to question their wins through those false accusations. you’re being unfair.
and y include things such as “di makakahanap ng trabaho ang mga taga UE?” duh!! sobrang insecure naman yung nagsabi nun.., baket ADMU and LASALLE grads lang ba ang qualfied? if i know, marami jan mayaman nga, wala namang utak.
