Letran ends DLSU title reign as Ateneo advances

DE LA SALLE University’s title defense ended at the very first hurdle.

Colegio de San Juan de Letran banked on the explosive shooting of second year forward Jaypee Belencion to upend the Green Archers, 83-72 during the continuation of Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16 hostilities at the Ynares Sports Arena last November 25 in Pasig City.

Belencion buried a PCCL-record 10 triples and tallied 36 points to lead the undermanned Knights past the 2008 champions. The Iloilo native joined hands with fifth year veteran Reymar Gutilban and rookie Kevin Alas to offset the absence of stalwarts RJ Jazul, Rey Guevarra and Kirk del Rosario, among others.

DLSU, which bulldozed its way into the Sweet 16 by sweeping the Naga City Zonals in style, failed to capitalize on the early miscues committed by Letran and groped for form along the way. In fact, the Taft five shot a miserable 28 percent from the field in the first half.

Belencion, who averaged just a shade under six points in the recently concluded NCAA tourney, then waxed hot by registering 25 markers in the second half to tow the Muralla outfit to the Elite Eight for the second consecutive year. Joshua Webb, DLSU’s leading scorer in its disappointing UAAP Season 72 campaign, led his squad with 18 points, 15 of which came in the first half.

Meanwhile, reigning, back-to-back UAAP champion and 2008 PCCL runner-up Ateneo de Manila University relied on a torrid third quarter run to upend Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association champions Lyceum of the Philippines University, 73-63. Nico Salva led the Blue Eagles with 17 points. Despite the absence of 2008 UAAP Most Valuable Player and 2009 Finals MVP Rabeh Al-Hussaini, the Blue and White managed to erect leads as large as 27 points before Lyceum, behind the hot shooting of 2009 ISAA MVP Joseph Abaya, trimmed the lead to a more respectable one. Abaya fired in a team-high 16 markers for coach Bonnie Tan’s troops.

The scores:

First game

Letran 83 – Belencion 36, Gutilban 15, K. Alas, 12, Cortes 10, Taplah 3, Foronda 3, Malabago 2, Ang 2, Pantin 0, J. Alas 0.

DLSU 72 – Webb 18, Bringas 13, Bagatsing 12, Atkins 8, Ferdinand 5, Andrada 4, Banal 3, Tolentino 3, Mendoza 2, Villanueva 2, Barua 2, Manguera 0, Marata 0.

Quarter scores: 21-9, 36-35, 64-52, 83-72.

Second game

Ateneo 73 – Salva 17, Reyes 13, Buenafe 11, Baclao 9, Salamat 8, Chua 5, Sumalinog 5, Long 3, Monfort 2, Golla 2, de Chavez 0.

Lyceum-Manila 63 – Abaya 16, Cayabyab 10, Rimando 10, Guevarra 7, Ong 5, Mendoza 4, Francisco 4, de Guzman 3, Lacap 2, Anacpa 2, Deduyo 0.

Quarter scores: 20-15, 41-27, 65-43, 73-63.

    Ahahahahahahaha!

    @Hopia

    I think for the guys who reacted on the “Lions uniform/jersey” are the guys who were disrespected.

    Hmmmm…

    Say, I’d like to wear “practice jersey” later.

    Hope no one’s disrespected (whispering).

    Ahahahahahahaha!

    ANIMO! ROARRRRRRR!!!

    University of the East threw the full weight of its talented crew against University of Cebu on Saturday and the Warriors hammered out a 105-86 rout to advance to quarterfinals in the Sweet 16 of the Philippine Champions League at The Arena in San Juan City.

    The Warriors, runner-up to UAAP champion Ateneo, came through with a well-balanced offensive to oust the Cebuanos and join Far Eastern University, Letran, Ateneo and San Beda in the next round.

    Hardly feeling the absence of regulars Rudy Lingganay, Toto Bandayen, and Lucas Tagarda, the Warriors dictated the tempo of the game right from the start towin pulling away.

    Lingganay and Bandayen are currently playing for the Kuala Lumpur Dragons in the ASEAN Basketball League. Tagarda is recuperating from ACL injury he suffered in the recent UAAP tournament.

    Spitfire Paul Lee anchored the Warriors with a triple-double performance of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, He also had three steals in 40 minutes of action.

    Pari Llagas added 17 points and seven rebounds, Elmer Espiritu had 14 markers and Paul Zamar contributed 10 points for UE, which finished with a 30 of 51 clip from the field, collared 50 rebounds and issued 29 assists.

    Llagas also defended well against June Fajardo limiting the 6-9 behemoth to only three points in the third period. Fajardo finished with 24 points.

    UE posted its biggest lead of 23 points at 81-58, on Avila’s charities off Barnett Rogado.

    The scores:
    UE 105 РLee 31, Llagas 17, Espiritu 14, Zamar 10, Acu̱a 9, Reyes 6, Flores 5, Acibar 4, Ayala 3, Sumido 2, Noble 2, Duran 2.
    UC 86 – Rogado 25, Fajardo 24, Julianne 13, Quilangtang 6, Tano 5, Abella 4, Luceno 4, Gomez 3, Cayanong 2, Mohammad 0, Bernil 0.
    Quarters: 28-23, 53-43, 83-61, 105-86.
