ORMOC CITY, Leyte - BASKETBALL is truly a spectacle enjoyed by almost every Filipino no matter where you are in the archipelago.
With Ormoc City Mayor Eric Codilla, Councilor Rodel Capati and Congressman Dodong Codilla Jr. (Fourth District) in attendance, San Sebastian College-Recoletos and University of Sto. Tomas put away their rivals to advance to the Philippine Collegiate Champions League Elite Eight last November 30, 2009 at the Ormoc City Superdome in Ormoc City, Leyte.
The NCAA Season 85 Champions, San Sebastian College-Recoletos Golden Stags managed to pull things together when it mattered and prevented a major upset against the University of San Carlos Warriors in overtime. The final score was 76-68 in a well-attended affair.
Jimbo Aquino once again came through in the clutch scoring a crucial layup in overtime to give momentum to the Stags. The NCAA Finals MVP and this year’s All-Star Game MVP finished with 15 points. Ian Sangalang had a big double-double performance with 15 points and 13 rebounds, while Pamboy Raymundo came close to having a triple-double ending up with 11 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. Raymundo had a chance to win the game for the Stags at the end of regulation but missed a potential game-winning layup from the left side of the basket.
Sam Hermosa had a splendid showing for the USC Warriors leading all scorers in the game with 23 points. CESAFI Mythical Five member Giovanni Padillo contributed 15 points.
In the second game, the University of Sto. Tomas Growling Tigers spoiled the coaching debut of Vergel Meneses by defeating Jose Rizal University, 64-62. Khasim Mirza and UAAP Season 72 MVP, Dylan Ababou combined for 39 points and 20 rebounds.
Marc Cagoco, who played his final game for the Heavy Bombers, was only fielded in for six minutes, while John Wilson and James Sena were not with the team. Joe Etame, meanwhile, was on the bench in street clothes.

kundi magpapakitang gilas si Ababou (tulad ng ginawa niya sa Smart kontra San Miguel), no way mananalo ang uste sa admu. at di kelangan ng admu si Rabeh para gawin 4-straight in a row this year kontra sa uste. PERO kung mananaig ang pride niya dahil huling mga laro na lang niya to sa uste, baka! Baka may tsansa ang uste ng upset. Depende din kay Mhirza yan. Admu naman, maski sino maasahan mo eh…tsaka nag-relax na lang sila sa 4th qtr kontra Lyceum, kase ng sineryoso nila until 3rd qtr, umabot ng 27 yong lamang. Di na naman nila kelangan ibaon ang kalaban. tama na yong lamang. A win is a win. Ngayon, kung lasalle yon, e ibang storya yan. Hanggang may oras, ibabaon nila ng buhay yon mga yon lol.

@res ipsa, counted yon. di naman pumito yong referee after ng take-off ni Acuna. Tsaka sa instant replay, may 0.4 sec pa noong umalis yong bola sa kamay niya. Kaya counted yon KUNG pumasok. Tsamba lng yon panalo ng FEU. Hirap na hirap talaga sila sa UE.

Oo nga ano. Medyo mataas ang pride ngayon ng UST. Revemge is no doubt in their minds. Tapos wala pa si Rabeh.
Pero sana, Justin Shaun Chua finally shows his true form, his real potential. No doubt next year, its his TIME!

@haays. kung pumasok yun irereplay nila. kitang-kita na traveling si acuna. pati commentators nagulat na hindi tinawagan ng ref ng traveling.
pero syempre talo na eh, kaya hindi na pinatulan ng ref.
mananalo UST sa Ateneo, isa ring choker ang ateneo. sa UAAP lang sila ginaganahan maglaro.

Too bad I missed the UE FEU match.
Heard UE esp Lee were well defended by the Tams.
Big break for the Red Lions as well.
UST vs ADMU? hmmm… good match.

Ang alam ko PBA lang ang nag re-rely sa replay para sa close-calls tulad ng situation dito. At sa last 2 minutes na lang yata. Tsaka, technicality issues lang ang ni-re-review nila immediately, examples: kung may oras pa nga bago i-release yon bola, kung tumapak nga sa sideline, kung 3-points yon tira, etc.
Otherwise, sa amateur, ewan ko lang kung may benefit
ang mga referees ng instant replay para itawag ang tama (o ayusin ang tawag) maski hanggang sa last 2 seconds. Tsaka, ang mga judgment calls like fouls, continuation, travelling, etc. are not/never reversed.
Kaya kung pumasok yong lay-up ni Acuna, pwede siguro sila mag-review sa replay pero ang i-de-decide lang nila e kung mayron o wala ng oras bago noong release. Kung mero pa, counted. Kung wala na, not counted. Yon lang yon. At hindi na nila pag-de-debatehan pa kung travelling o hindi si Acuna dahil judgmental non-call na yon e.
Tutoo nga na may extra steps si Acuna, pero either pinalampas na lang ng mga referees yon o di nila nakita as travelling right at that moment. Maski mag-protest halimbawa ang FEU kung pumasok yon, di na nila pwede i-reverse yon non-call at i-declare na not counted dahil travelling si Acuna.
At kitang kita naman sa replay na may split second time pa, 0.4 secs nga, noong release.
Re: Ateneo vs. UST, wa na ko paki doon, heh.

@gerald. mukha ngang kaya na next season. pero dapat dagdagan ng USte ang bigmen nila, kulang na lang sila ng isang center. contender na ulit sila.
