JOSE RIZAL University followed up a scary opening day win with an all-out massacre of University of Perpetual Help System Dalta, 83-58, at the resumption of NCAA Season 85 at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan City last July 3.
The Heavy Bombers stepped on the gas all game-long and never relinquished the lead thanks to the inside-outside assault staged by veterans John Wilson, Marc Cagoco and JR Sena. The troika combined for 49 of the Shaw unit’s 83 points. Sena, in particular, had a solid all-around game and near triple-double with 14 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists.
Perpetual Help tried to keep it close in the opening minutes, with rookie playmaker Chris Elopre and Raffy Ynion taking turns to help minimize the carnage. The Bombers, though, pulled away in the second quarter and never looked back. In fact, a third quarter stretch that saw Wilson and Cagoco convert on a barrage of triples gave coach Ariel Vanguardia’s wards a game-high 25-point advantage.
The Altas, despite scoring 12 points off the fastbreak compared to JRU’s six-point output, failed to put the clamps on the Heavy Bombers’ outside guns as both Cagoco and Wilson made four treys each. Elopre and Ynion each scored 13 to lead coach Boris Aldeguer’s unit, which last beat Jose Rizal on July 13, 2007 in double-overtime.
Perpetual Help dropped to the cellar of the team standings with Colegio de San Juan de Letran with an 0-2 record. Incidentally, both squads play each other this Wednesday, July 8. Jose Rizal, meanwhile, tied Arellano University and San Sebastian College-Recoletos atop the leaderboard with a 2-0 slate.
The scores:
JRU 83 – Wilson 19, Cagoco 16, Sena 14, Hayes 11, Matute 7, Njei 6, Apinan 3, Kabigting 2, Agas 2, Bulangis 2, Salazar 1, Lopez 0, Gabriel 0, Montemayor 0.
Perpetual Help 58 – Elopre 13, Ynion 13, Vivero 9, Carrullo 7, Galabin 7, Salanga 6, Salvado 3, Roño 0, Hainga 0, dela Cruz 0, Sicat 0, Liaz 0.
