NCAA guns San Beda, Letran book PCC Final Four seats

THE NCAA had a field day in the Elite Eight of the Philippine Collegiate Championships.
Two of the league’s most successful programs, Colegio de San Juan de Letran and San Beda College, advanced to the tournament’s Final Four by besting an upstart squad and a traditional UAAP powerhouse, respectively, at the Arena in San Juan last December 3, 2008.
The Knights hammered out a nail-biting 94-93 win against Far Eastern University to arrange a showdown with UAAP champion Ateneo de Manila. Coach Louie Alas’ wards shot the lights out of the Tamaraws, with RJ Jazul, Kojack Melegrito and Rey Guevarra hitting trey after trey in what proved to be the tournament’s closest game.
Alas, who steered Letran to a third-place finish in the recently-concluded NCAA campaign, commended his squad for creating an upset of sorts against the fancied cagers from Morayta. “I thought we had a 75 percent chance of losing this game. But for some reason, we won. My big guys weren’t scoring, but they also prevented FEU’s bigs from scoring. It was their perimeter shooting that gave us a hard time,†he said in Tagalog.
The high-flying Guevarra led all scorers with 20 points, while big man Dino Daa erupted for 17. Melegrito and Jazul each had 15 for the Muralla-based outfit. Andy Barroca and Benedict Fernandez, who played his final game as a Tamaraw, paced FEU with 16 markers each.
In the last Elite Eight showdown, defending NCAA titlists San Beda ended Arellano University’s campaign with an 87-72 triumph. The Red Lions rallied from a six-point, first quarter deficit and never looked back, thanks in large part to Jake Pascual and Bam Gamalinda, who led the Red and White with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
San Beda head coach Frankie Lim said his squad prepared for the game as early as last week and had a gameplan designed to stop Orlando Daroya and Jordan Melano, two Chiefs who’d been waxing hot since the zonals of the PCC. “My assistant coaches scouted them and we prepared a different strategy going in today’s game.â€Â
A visibly-tired Daroya led the back-to-back NCRAA champions with 33 points, while Melano added 15 for the Chiefs, which lacked the offensive punch from their supporting cast.
San Beda and De La Salle University will face each other in the other Final Four showdown this Saturday, December 6.
The scores:
1st Game
CSJL 94 – Guevarra 20, Daa 17, Jazul 15, Melegrito 15, Cortes 9, Belencion 6, Gutilban 5, Cabonce 3, Ranises 3, Del Rosario 1, Dangcal 0
FEU 93 – Fernandez 16, Barroca 16, Baracael 14, Ramos 14, Cawaling 11, Cervantes 10, Adolfo 6, Knuttel 4, Tanuan 2, Sanga 0
2nd Game:
San Beda 87 – Pascual 15, Gamalinda 14, Ekwe 12, Lanete 11, Menor 8, Hermida 7, Marcelo 6, Tirona 4, Taganas 4, Tecson 4, Taupa 2.
Arellano 72 – Daroya 33, Melano 15, Agustin 9, Rivera 8, Celada 5, del Rosario 2, Ciriacruz 0, Anquilo 0.

Seriously dude. Si Rabeh, parang di naliligo ata yun. Ang yabang yabang niya pa. Akala niya ang galing niya. 1on1 sila Sam Ekwe. (Sana nga lang di mapahiya si Ekwe tulad ng ginawa ni Walsham -_-) Akala niya ang pogi niya eh. Same goes to Salamat. Pa dila dila pa siya, akala niya siya si Jordan. Ulol niya, sana upakan yun balang araw. Si Buenafe, kaparehong ugali ni Salamat. Pano ba naman, mga taga Baste.

No wonder ginawa ni Maierhofer yung finger na yun sa mga Negro (Black, Rabeh, Austria) na yun. Napuno na siguro yun sa kayabangan ni “Feeling-Jordan”, tatay, “Shawarma King”, pati sa tatay-like na baste. Si Chris Tiu lang ata matino dun eh.
Tatlo ata utong ni Chris Tiu. Hindi siya naghuhubad lalo na sa Nesvita commercial. Siguro yun ang flaw niya sa sobrang perpekto niya.

pero ang mas amoy arabo ay ako. hindi lang pala amoy arabo, may amoy bumbay pa na hindi naligo ng 100 taon.
kung si Tiu may tatlong utong, ako may 8. 2 sa ulo, 2 sa dibdib, 2 sa bayag, 2 sa pwet.
ako tatay na rin. 100 na anak ko sa iba’t ibang babae.
kulay ko mas malala pa sa negro. hindi ko talaga alam kung anong tawag sa kulay na mas malala pa sa negro pero ganun talaga.
ako pinakamayabang sa lahat. hangin lang kasi laman ng ulo ko. oo, HANGIN lang, walang UTAK.

may purpose siguro kung bakit maghaharap nanaman ang green and blue squad eto siguro ung chance na makabawi naman ang La Salle, alam naman ng lahat na hindi katanggap-tanggap ang game2 finals ng uaap season 71 sa La Salle Oo tama naman sila hindi nga maganda yung nangyari nahalata ng lahat sa referees pero ngayon naka move on na silang lahat kaya wala nang problema.
yung mga nag aaway dito tama na yan may kanya-kanyang baho naman lahat ng skwelahan mapa-La Salle pa yan San Beda, Ateneo o kung anong school pa

What I notice is that those who really bash Ateneo do not even come from from our rival school.
I really pity your schools for creating and accomodating people like Ateneo Bashers who can only say things like “One Big Fart” or “Taeneo”. Then there are people such as True Red forever who degrades our players through unheralded descriptions.
Ok lang naman sa amin yun…
Ang tanong ko lang sa inyo,
MAY MAGAGAWA BA KAYO SA KAKAGANYAN NIYO?
wala…
because Ateneo is ATENEO. Your schools are a mile of steps below us.

“It’s all FUN and GAMES for UAAP players,but it’s all BUSINESS for NCAA players eager to prove they are equal with their UAAP counterpartsâ€Â
-taken from Phil. Daily Inquirer
2008 proved that UAAP is really the best in the land!!
Nike Summer League- No NCAA team(not even NCAA champs) even reached the semi-finals, Final 4 is all UAAP affair..
Filoil/Flying V Preseason TOURNAMENT- UAAP 4TH PLACER UE defeated NCAA champs San Beda (shame on the so called champs)
Bantay Bata All-star Game- UAAP dominated te 2 allstar game, and sweeping the NCAA in talent competitions..
PCC- Finals is all UAAP affair, UAAP won 4 out 5 against NCAA..
*UAAP did not even need its champion to eliminate NCAA champion San Beda and 1st runner up JRU
and of course, even in terms of popularity,gate receipts,sponsors ad television ratings, NCAA WAS UNABLE TO BEAT UAAP…
NOW WE NOW WHICH LEAGUE IS BETTER…
