Chiefs, Warriors enter PCCL Sweet 16

ARELLANO University and University of San Carlos booked return trips to the Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16 after emphatically finishing their zonal campaigns at the West Negros University Gym in Bacolod City last November 6, 2009.

Needing a win to keep alive its round of 16 hopes, host WNU failed to break down a tough-as-nails Arellano five as it bowed out of contention, 79-67. After a tight first half, the Chiefs broke the game open in the third period, outscoring the Mustangs, 24-15. Big man and NCAA Mythical Five member Gio Ciriacruz, in his last year for the Legarda outfit, led a balanced offensive attack with 17 points, with Andrian Celada scoring 15 to tow the undefeated Chiefs.

It was a disappointing evening for WNU, who finished its campaign with a 1-2 slate. Alfie Villariza waxed hot with 30 markers, but it proved to be futile as the Mustangs will be missing out on the Sweet 16 for the second straight year despite capturing the NOPSSCEA crown for the 11th consecutive season. Rolly Jaca and Jeff Jacinto, WNU’s usual suspects, were held to a combined three points as well by Arellano’s stifling defense.

Joining the Chiefs in the knockout round are the USC Warriors, who romped past Mindanao regional titlists Holy Trinity College, 86-63. One-time Philippine Christian University forward Sam Hermosa led the Warriors’ onslaught with 13 points, while Marvin Duran chipped in with 11. HTC failed to win a single game in the Bacolod zonal after a spirited display in the regionals, which included wins over more fancied opponents such as Ateneo de Davao University and Cagayan de Oro Colleges.

Meanwhile, action shifts to the Cebu zonals as CESAFI runner-up University of Cebu, UAAP fifth-placer Adamson University, two-time defending NAASCU champion San Sebastian College-Recoletos de Cavite and CESAFI fourth-placer University of San Jose-Recoletos do battle in a round-robin format for two more tickets to the Sweet 16.

The Scores:

First Game

USC 86 – Hermosa 13, Duran 11, Padayao 8, Bercede 7, Padillo 6, Panerio 5, Bakker 5, Cantonao 5, Otida 5, Codilla 4, Vitug 2, Joven 2.

HTC 63 – Desaville 21, Pragados 17, de Mesa 8, Versoza 4, Masana 4, Lamanilao 3, Landicho 2, Roxas 2.

Quarter scores: 24-7, 41-28, 65-47, 86-63.

Second Game

Arellano 79 – G. Ciriacruz 17, Celada 15, Rivera 8, Agustin 8, I. Ciriacruz 6, Tayongtong 6, Reducto 6, Virtudazo 4, Apostol 3, Anquilo 3, Miranda 3, Catapang 0.

WNU 67 – Villariza 30, Suyod 16, Dapar 6, Lauron 5, Jaca 2, Sumido 2, Jacinto 1, Catalino 0.

Quarter scores: 21-17, 34-27, 58-42, 79-67.

    What, West Negros Univ. Mustangs failed to qualify?!?
    Oh well. I’m sure Arellano and USC earned what they got. I just want to ask, why will the games be held at the Pasay Gym and not the Arena in San Juan? The PBL closed shop, right?

    Sino ang ranked number 1 and 2 sa Champion’s League, Ateneo or San Sebastian? For me, I honestly believe that the Red Lions of San Beda should rank 3rd, while the Red Warriors of Univ. of the East should rank 4rth. Wait, may rankings na ba? Obviously sila ang top four, and no one else.

    Sinong bang team ang may record na 5-peat sa NCAA? Obviously, we don’t need media coverage. Lahat ng basketbolista na Baste lang at wala ng iba ang nakagawa nun. So sa mga tiga mendiola, tama na ang pagiging bitter. Wala pa nga kayong napapatunayan sa Baste e, lagi kayong umuuwing luhaan. Stop it, ang gawin niyo magrecruit pa ulit kayo ng maraming import. Para sumampa ulit kayo sa championship next year. Alright? Nagiging totoo na tuloy ang SLOGAN ng Letran last year.. “WITHOUT EKWE, SA’N BEDA??” :D

    BRAVO BASTE!
    NO OTHER COLLEGE IN NCAA DOES THE WAY WE DO!
