The San Beda Red Lions avenged their 1st round defeat from the San Sebastian Golden Stags with a come from behind, 71-67, come from behind victory and force a playoff for the top spot of the elimination round standings in the 85th season of the NCAA at the FIloil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
A short jumper from Bam Gamalinda plus 2 pressure-packed free throws from Borgie Hermida was all the Red Lions needed to snatch the game away from the Golden Stags who had total control thru most of the way.
The absence of Gilbert Bulawan, averaging 8.4 points and 5.5 rebounds, probably hurt San Sebastian’ chances of making a repeat over San Beda. San Beda successfully limited San Sebastian’s scoring leader and Jimbo Aquino (Birthdate oct 13), who usually averages 20.9 points per game, to just 9-points.
Sudan Daniel, coming off a 3-point performance in their last outing on Oct 2 against Letran exploded for 19 points and 13 rebonds to hand the Red Lions this much needed victory.
With the Golden Stags, who had a 2point advantage in the 4th quarter, were able to extend their lead to 8-points before Borgie Hermida scored 4 straight points and Garvo Lanete adding a basket to come within 2-points, 62-60 halfway thru the decisive period.
Sudan Daniel, Jake Pascual and Bam Gamalinda brought San Beda its first taste of the lead, 66-64 with 3:11 minutes remaining. The Golden Stags grabbed the lead for the last time with a jumper from the left corner from MVP candidate Jimbo Aquino, making the count 67-65, at the 2:36 minute mark.
Calvin Abueva had 15 points and 15 rebonds with Ian Sangalang and Ronald Pascual adding 12 points each. The Golden Stags had 20 turnovers against the Red Lions’ 16. The Golden Stags, however, led in the rebounding department, 49-43.
“ We were able to limit Aquino. The guys were playing one-on-one and trying to win the game by themselves so I asked the team to move the ball around make defensive stops. Hopefully we could come up with the same intensity on our next game against San Sebastian, said Red Lions Head Coach Frankie Lim.

Ako na nga sabi, ako bilib sa RL na sila kaya manalo basta sila din bilib kanila sarili. Don’t forget to eat sa akin restaurant. Ako may sisig, buttered chicken, calamares atpb.
WOOHOOO ANO INABANGAN KO TLAGA TO NICE WIN FOR THE RED LIONS KANINA PINAKABA PA KO SA 1 2 3 QRTS- GANDA NITO SA WED SHIT
Meron pa bang Uncle ton ton???
nauna pa angas ni abueva e. tsk tsk. seryoso ba na overaged yun? di sya mykhang 22 e.
@ FELIXCASTANEDA
Tama na Dota toL!
Magkasama pa kayo nila Mante?
Pag kalaban talaga ang Stags ( Sthugs) eh sakit ng katawan hanap nio. Kailangan ng isang banig ng mefenamic acid.. Sobrang angas pa ng mga players lalo na un Abueva na ilang beses pinakain ng bola ni Sudan, pati un mga bilibid boys na sina Semira, Rayymundo, Pascual at Aquino.. Pweh! panay mga basura maglaro..
BTW, although Im a Bedan, I am not well convinced with the victory. Imagine missing half of all free throw attempts! It should be an easy win kung consistent sa freethrow shooting..
Anyways. Goodluck on Wed.
BTW another Thug would return in the form of BULAWAN
Watch out guys.
Animo SAN BEDA!!
Moving FOURward…
@ Uncle Ton Ton
Masarap sana pagkain niyo sir, kaya lang madumi yung lugar.
@ RedHotBedan
Bro tama na yan. Don’t start the fire.
tanong ko lng po..bkit parang wlang tga baste na ngsusulat dito sa thread?ngtatanong lng po
sakit sa ulo nitong sila abueva tsaka sangalang sa mga susunod na taon. pero ayos lang, meron naman kaming rome de la rosa.
thrilling win by our boys, it took me 18 games to admit this but the stags are for real. hope the team can match their intensity on wednesday.
borgie showed up when he was needed, that’s what leaders do, they lead.
to the real Bedans who post here, wag nang makipag-away. be humble in defeat and more so in victory. you are bedan gentlemen, act as one.
Anyway, Congrats sa Red Lions.
Welcome back Vintage borgie!
Kudos to the Stags.
See you again on Wednesday.
iAnimo!
Great win congrats to the Red Lions. San Sebastian is a strong team, pero when we beat them on the last outing, it showed that San beda had a chance not only to give Baste another loss but to take the top seat in eliminations. Good game nang dalawang best teams.
This also shows that there is no dominant tean in the 85th NCAA Senior Basketball. Everybody in the top four has a chance. Unfortunately it might not apply to my Letran, but we’re hopeful.
Congrats to Beda!
Arriba Letran!
@ SirKnight III
Sir ACL ba talaga injury ni Rey Guevarra? Nakita ko kasi pangalan niya sa official lineup ng SMART GILAS na lalahok sa PBA.
Kung injured talaga si Guevarra, sana meron mag step up sa ibang knights para tulungan si Jazul.
Kung walang mag step, baka si Jazul nga ang
“One Knight Stand”.
Good luck to your team. Get well soon Rey.
iAnimo!
nasaan na ba ang uncle tonton ngayon?
last time na kumain ako sa uncle tonton before ako gumraduate.. last time binalikan ko yung tontons kasama ko na wife ko hindi ko na makita..
last time na kumain ako sa uncle tonton before ako gumraduate.. five years after binalikan ko yung uncle tontons at kasama ko na wife ko hindi ko na makita..
very nice game played by both teams but the integrity of the officiating of the game imho is questionable. tsktsk! specially the cheap shot to abueva were there is no call or even a warning from the zebras. but nonetheless congratulation to san beda.
there were a couple of no-calls on baste at the end such as the no-call on raymundo when he went in the lane. then the duty foul on sudan by abueva to stop the clock – was called flagrant!!! are you kidding me? beda was doing a good job passing the ball to avoid getting fouled. he was just trying to foul sudan to stop the clock. flagrant foul gives the connotation of trying to harm. it was inconsequential either way but i just wonder about the officiating in this game and in the beda-letran game.
What’s with Abueva flexing his arms and smirking? Inuna ang angas e. tsk tsk. now he’s taught a lesson on humility by the RL’s.
@itlog
Sino yung isa pang maangas na nakachamba lang ng isang 3 pts kay Borgie eh nag “in your Face” motion pa ng kamay.. sa buong laro yun lang naman naipasok nya.. angas talaga!
@living the life of quiet desperation
yes may mga discrepancies sa tawag.. bodies flying at isa pa yung ala “chinese getup na ginawa ni abueva kay sudan” at yung mga tira ni Najorda? yun ba ang one sided o luto?
may term dyan. Bawi lang
Badtrip. panalo na natalo pa. oh well a win is a win Congratularion San Beda, See you on wed.
@ Uncle Bob Lucky 7 Club
Cheap shot on Abueva? Kung nakita mo yung replay wala naman talaga ginawa sa kanya, umarte lang si Abueva.
@ living the life of quiet desperation
Abueva’s flagrant foul? That was on Borgie, hindi kay sudan. Hindi ko nakita yung last second foul ni Abueva kaya nagulat din ako kung baket Flagrant ang tawag ng Ref.
Physical yung game kanina, pero hanngan ganun lang. Walang Intentions manakit ang Stags at Red Lions.
@RedHotBedan
si pamboy raymundo ata un..nkita ko rin un e..pero nung matapos ung game..nkita ko ung stats nia..3pts lng..
OHH….CONGRATULATIONS RED LIONS! AT LEAST ISA NA RIN SI TITA DITO NA HAPPY SA TAGUMPAY SA LARONG ITO! MORE PRAYERS FOR BAM & TEAM! I KNOW YOU’RE DOING YOUR BEST!
MAY GOD BLESS!
i think the last foul of abueva was not a flagrant. if so, he should have been the one who took the free throws instead of Hermida isnt it? i think it was a technical free throw because Su already passed the ball when he was fouled hard. and you can’t intentionally foul a player when the ball is not in his possession in the last 2 mins(i think). like a hack-a-shaq. i may be wrong.
Oks ba ang acting ko kanina? Problema lang walang ref na nakakita. Sa wed, aarte ulit ako!
@living the life of quiet desperation
i think the officiating in this game is a lot better than the SBC-CSJL game where the refs didnt allow any form of physicality. you cant blame them. they just dont want the incident in the 1st rd to happen again.

Hear Hear. Kitang-kita naman pagkatapos ng game sport lang on both sides. JRU is another story dahil kay van Dolph.
Mabuhay ang NCAA
@RedHotBedan
ung about kay raymundo d ata pagaAngas un…
sa referee xa nakatingin tinakpan ata ni Hermida mukha niya pag attempt ng 3 kasi na shock c hermida sa attempt kasi ang layo…
sana nxt tym maging consistent ang referee from start to finish pangit ang tawagan both sa Beda at Baste…
pag nagkamali sa isang team ba2wi sa kbla…
To the TWO TITANS of the NCAA:
Cheers to Letran Knights and most especially
Cheers to the Red Lions!
We’ll see you very soon.
iAnimo!

wooohooo!!! sarap kalaban ng baste! napaka classy pa ng mga tao nila! walang bashers, sour grapes, o bitter pagkatapos ng game! sana ganito din ang crowd ng letran at jru. eh di hamak na ang magagandang laro ng beda ay lagi baste ang katapat.
oh well…salamat sa great game baste!
Nice game Bedans… ang sarap nyo kalaban.
Very classy,
sosyal,
may breeding,
kitang kita ang unity.
ganda pa ng halftime nyo, napaka classy and with attitude.
Dapat lang namin kayo KA Rival, dahil di naman malayo agwat nyo sa amin.
May the Best Team win.
Bravo!!!
@ Red Hooligan
That’s how you show class!
Bashing another school’s coach, when it’s your school’s coach who was not a gentleman enough to shake Vandolph’s hands when the Lions were defeated by the Bombers.
o well, bilog naman ang bola kaya ok lang kahit talo baste. well played game on both sides naman. wala lang sana pikunan, after all, basketball is a highly physical game. Congrats Red Lions, kitakits na lang ulit bukas. Bravo Baste!
@ Bedista ’08
Yes – torn ACL si Guevarra. He is out for the playoffs. Unfortunately with just Jazul, and the way our Srs B-ball team has been playing lately, we do not have a chance. You’re right. Sana may mag-step up to fill the shoes of Guevarra and be a good tandem to Jazul. I know the coaching team is working on that now. We just hope that the other players give a good game. Very upsetting to see only 2 players carry the team. With that said, it’s going to really be tough for us to beat San Beda or San Sebastian now. Our hopes are high, but we’re realistic. I predict San Beda and San Sebastian for the Championship game. These 2 teams are the best in the 85th NCAA. JRU is a strong 3rd team. Ang Letran Srs… just not good enough this year – still a good performance.
Arriba!
Congratulations for the must win Red Lions!
Although yun batch namin ang hikayat ay wag naman ganyan na game, sa tanda namin aatakihin kami ng hika!
Lets gun for another Red Lion win on Wednesday.
All the best to you guys, and thank you Baste for a game that saw no one break away. Matindi kayo!
@JaRvis
Sorry Sir sa isang may nag bash sa JRU, the issue of Lim and Vanguardia goes back to Talk n Text days, years ago, when Lim (Team Manager) fired Vanguardia and this is not just in any JRU and SBC game. Win or lose he doesn’t shake hands, I don’t like it either but that’s the way Lim’s cookie crumbles.
Bravo Baste
Go San Beda Fight!
Animo Quatro!
…Apat na Panalo para sa Animo Quatro!!!
Congrats Red Lions!!!
Mga pogi!!! Burger kayo dyan! Meron din ako bacon and egg… gusto niyo ham din! Congrats Red Lions! Malakas kumain talaga kayo mga Bedista kaya suki ko kayo palagi sa Pogi Lane eh! Bili lang kayo sakin ha, meron pa din ako tinda softdrinks at yosi. Pero wag lang kayo kalat sa labas ng school, ako pinapagalitan ng guard niyo eh!
Animo San Beda!
One Team. One Roar. One Community.
Congrats San Beda.

Question:
About the battle on wednsday will determine the 1 st and 2nd spot?
Congrats SBC & SSC
It was indeed a good fight. Nice one Red Lions! It was a lucky break for you though a win is a win. For the San Sebastian, nothing to be ashamed of because from 1st until the 7 mins of the 4th quarter you did great, but when the time reaches almost 2 mins., the red lions surpass all the defense. Again, both teams did a great job. This is the preview of the finals already..
What i admire me most are the crowd of both school. San Sebastian & San Beda show how educated they are. Yeah, there is what you call “asaran” pero walang pikunan. After the game, everyone are friends nothing personal. :) It is indeed the true spirit of the NCAA. Sebastinians & Bedans, keep it up! See you all on Wednesday again.. Wooohooo! BATTLE AT MENDIOLA PART 2!
BRAVO BASTE, BEAT SAN BEDA!!!
@insider
tama ka, final 4 positioning lang yun, at guarantee na sila sa twice to beat advantage, regardless kung sino manalo. Pero siyempre mas maganda kung top spot kasi makakalaban ang Guevarra-less Knights.
Balot Penoy kayo diyan!
bkit gnun boses ng ncaa barker?
nanginginig sa huli!
ang pangit.
Wow! Ganda ng laban kahapon. The best! Congrats to the Red Lions. Bawi kami sa inyo sa wednesday. Hehehe Keep it up, ang ganda nung dalawang crowd, Baste & Beda, nice one guys! Ulitin ulit natin sa wednesday ito.. Abueva rules! Ang lupit ng ipinakita niya kahapon :) Mga Sebastino, bawi sa wednesday!
Bravo Baste!
@racer_sebastinian
I agree the its not just about the win, its about the spirit of sportsmanship. After the game, you see all the players talk and spend time encouraging each other. They need to show that to the fans and even after a hard fought game, no one walked away without congratulating each other.
Yes, we got the breaks in the end game and it makes the Finals more interesting and challenging! Bravo Baste!
Congratulations Red Lions, you showed grit in the last minutes. Kudos Borgie, am sure you are glad to have your game back after that injury…tamang tama ang pag dating ng game mo, when it mattered! The team is looking at your leadership! Go SAN BEDA FIGHT!!!
@RED & GOLD
Matindi talaga si Abueva, ang lakas nun mama sa boards. Malayo pa mararating niya, sana mag Smart Gilas Philippine Team siya.

Animo Quatro!
Congrats RL! Kudos king lion GAMALINDA! You really stepped up in the last few minutes just when the RLs needed it most!
@ seelisilus
Oo nga, ‘no? Why indeed?
@ Red Ranger
I agree… I’m a San Miguel fan since I was a kid, and Coach Ato is an example of professionalism.
Onga pala, yang si Abueva, pwede na siyang BEST ACTOR of the game. Kitang kita sa TV na wala naman yng foul na chnarge k Sudan! Puro yabang kasi
@living the life of quiet desperation
bulag ka pala eh, it was hermida who was fouled by abueva. it was semira who fouled sudan, but abueva’s foul on hermida came first, abueva fouled hermida after the latter threw a pass to sudan.
tama. hindi pedeng i foul ang isang player pag ala sa kanya ang bola sa last 2mins ng game.
For the Lions, practice your freethrows. sa mga dikit na games, kailangan yan. marcelo has to assert himself more esp. ala si baby shaq.
Sana double win sa Wed for the cubs and the lions.
ANIMO!!!
