Adamson steals victory from Fighting Maroons

ADAMSON UNIVERSITY made sure it capped off its fightback with a win this time around.
After failing to complete rally against Sto. Tomas last week, the Falcons pulled a fast one on University of the Philippines, 72-68 in Season 72 of the UAAP wars at the Araneta Coliseum last July 18.
The Fighting Maroons displayed a lot of character in the opening half of the game, leading by as many as 11 in the first quarter. Their seven-point halftime lead, though, was eclipsed by several Falcon mini-runs, punctuated by an Alex Nuyles jam at the 5:15 mark of the third period. Incidentally, Nuyles left the game just minutes after that highlight reel maneuver with an injured shoulder.
The San Marcelino unit finally took the lead, 67-66 at the 2:58 mark of the fourth quarter after Leo Canuday scored from close range. After a couple of Woody Co charities that gave the lead back to the State University, lead point guard Arvin Braganza turned the ball over twice. The veteran Canuday then handed Adamson the advantage for good, 69-68, with 27 seconds left. UP still had a crack at victory, but rookie playmaker Mikee Reyes had the ball slip from his hands before crossing the halfcourt.
A visibly relieved Leo Austria, coach of the Adamson Falcons, said after the game, “Yung pinapractice naming during the pre-season lumabas kanina. Akala ko matatalo na kami, pero nag-stick kami yung parang sa commercial, Be Positive, wag bibitaw. Pagdating sa guts, medyo kulang pa kami, talagang they did not give up. I’m happy for the rookies, si Cabrera and si Camson, hindi sila nagpakitang rookies sila.â€
The Falcons captured their first win after losing to UST on opening day to go 1-1, while UP dropped to the cellar at 0-2. Jan Colina led the victors with 14 points and 12 boards, his second double-double in as many games, while Co towed the Diliman cagers with 17 markers and nine rebounds.
The scores:
Adamson 72 – Colina 14, Cañada 11, Camson 11, Alvarez 9, Canuday 8, Nuyles 6, Galinato 6, Santos 5, Cabrera 2, Margallo 0, Lozada 0, Basilio 0.
UP 68 – Co 17, Sison 12, Ma. Reyes 9, Gomez 8, Padilla 6, Mi. Reyes 5, Maniego 4, Lopez 2, Braganza 2, Astorga 2, Juruena 1, Marfori 0, de Asis 0.
Quarter scores: 20-20, 30-37, 50-54, 72-68.

What happend to Alex Nuyles? is he okay? if it was a dislocated shoulder they should have popped it back. football players do it. even kobe did it when he played against the cavs. dislocated finger. Gary Vitti popped kobe’s finger back why can’t they do it for Alex Nuyles?
malaking bagay para sa falcons pag hindi nakabalik si alex..hopefully hindi major ang injury nya,aalamin ko yan bukas sa skul..
full court press ng falcons ang nag panalo sa kanila at may kasama na din SWERTE..
two heart stoping games na ang nabibigay ng adu sa mga fans,kelangan mabugbog muna sila tapos babawi sa huli..i hope mag work sa kanila yan,pero kahit san mo tignan mahirap ang maghabol..hindi sila dapat nag rerelax..
next stop,FEU..kelangan nila ng matinding swerte dito..hindi pwede ang sloppy plays ni canuday,tamang shot selection ni air canada at unnecessary fouls ni galinato & colina..the bench also needs to step it up,lester alvarez,allan santos,janus lozada..
mahihirapan sila dito sa tams,pero GO FALCONS pa rin..
[...] 72-UP 68Manila Times recap Inboundpass recap ABS-CBN recap GMA News [...]
I read something in the newspapers that While riding the bench, Migs de Asis was caught or seen YAWnING.
Can someone clarify this.
And Alex Nuyles Separated his Shoulder
0-14 sa UP, posibleng mangyari.
crazy dunk by nuyles.
maybe a one of the top plays of the season.:D
bad side he dislocated his right shoulder after 1 min after that dunk..
GO FALCONS! kaya natin ang sunod na laban huwag lang susuko. dapat laging positive! make our school PROUD! GO! ADAMSON! FIGHT!
sana makabalik na si NUYLES sa thursday. alex is one of the key player of Ad U. Aim for FINAL 4. GO! LET’S FIGHT! FALCONS!
un dunk ni nuyless, travelling nun nireplay.. anyway, nice dunk!!!!
from my point of view…
I think after Nuyles’ dunk, it might have been a semi dislocation that happened there. It might worn his shoulder that much na sa isang swing lang eh magcause ng dislocation. It WAS a POWERFUL dunk na medyo may feelings at hindi kinaya ng katawan nya. Medyo hirap na kasi siya nung tineardrop nya yung ball after ng dunk niya. I’m not a doctor, pero i believe, adamson owns us an explanation this monday on whether he can dunk again this coming FEU vs. Adamson game. hehe
great game falcons! it doest matter how we start but how we finish the game…we still need to improve our FG shooting and less TO to be more competitive.
SORE HIGH FALCONS!!!
SOAR HIGH FALCONS!!!…HE HE HE
@denise-AdU & the_falcon_way,
alex nuyles is ok, he could have played again last saturday, but the doctor said for it to be rested…lets hope it has no other complications..he is practising today..
thank u so much for your concern,,god bless!!
Kangkarot talaga maglaro ang falcons.
Kelan ba tayo makakakita uli ng Tulad nila Benjie Paras, at Magsanoc sa UP?
MAG SUNUD SUNOD NA SANA ANG TSAMBA NG ADAMSON……………………
as long as we have coach like coach Leo Austria, we never lose hope to be in the final 4!!!
ibalik si ken bono….leo canuday must improve his game…idol ko yan nung highschool yan…lakas!!!
@bzzbee
2-4 weeks ata ang dislocated shoulder eh. Bute ok lang siya. Anyway, thanks God, ok na sya, bata pa yun, ang kalaban nya ngayon is on the “mental” part. I hope for improvement pa din.
As for the game…
Guys like Camson and Cabrera talaga eh maasahan. But, as Coach Leo said, “kulang pa sila sa guts”. Guys like Margallo and Lozada must really contribute both on the defensive side.
And have’nt you seen the consistency of Santos? Having a 3 blocked shot in a game in addition to his 5 points and 5 rebound is no joke! For me, I can say coach Leo has a good back up on Galinato.
Guts lang talaga. Go “Dark Falcons”!(dark blue)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JgL7g7njpk (eto ung dunk ni alex) share ko lang..

Thank you very much po!
sad to say for us that nuyles is out for 2weeks…who will replace to his position in the court? anyone in the bench must to step up…
get well soon…
The game last saturday was tight. it could have been UP’s win. Fotunately, the turnovers of UP played well for ADU. this is the team i am watching this year! go ADU!
Falcons kailangan niu ng killer instict para manalo, wag tayo umasa s turnover ng kalaban s endgame!
