NCAA is surely saving the best for last in the finale of the second round elimination as rivals San Beda and Letran will clash in a pivotal game this Wednesday. The pressure of a SBC-CSJL contest will be felt by the players, coaches of both teams and perhaps felt strongest by the fans.

San Beda is already assured of a twice to beat advantage but not the top post. Letran meanwhile is already assured of a playoff for the 2nd spot but can still slide out of the Final 4 picture since a lose will put them in a quadruple tie with the Stags, Cardinals and the Heavy bombers with 9-5 win-loss card.

Red-clad Lions of Mendiola will try to spoil Letran's bid for a twice to beat advantage. Leading the Benedictine squad are the triumvirate of pro-bound John Paul Escobal, last year's Finals MVP Ogie Menor and former Rookie-MVP Sam Ekwe. This will be the Last year of senior Lions Escobal and Ekwe and would want to win their third championship in three consecutive years of stay as Red Lions. This might also be the last time they will be playing against their rivals.

In Contrary, Letran is expected to bring their A game not only because they are facing their rivals but also this game weighs a lot more for them than the Red Lions. After a near flawless first round record, the Knights struggled in the second round resulting for other
teams to caught-up with them in the standings. They can make it up with their mistakes with just a single win, but they have to get that win against their archrivals and defending champs San Beda in the final game day of the eliminations.

One of the interesting match-up will be between titans Ogie Menor and Dino Daa who was involved in a heated physical action in the first round. Not be outdone is the match-up between pointguards Borgie Hermida and Kojak Melegrito. Melegrito who was caught giving a cheap shot to Hermida and Escobal had to be ejected in their first round meeting early in the 1st quarter. He will have to behave himself if he would like to finish the game at the court not in the bleachers this time because he will be vital in coach Alas' rotation.

As they say, Expect an all-out college basketball war at the Big Dome this coming Wednesday.

If Letran lost then it will prolong the start of the Final 4. It's as exciting as it gets!

sana kasama sa URCC University edition itong match-up na ito.

Borgie vs Kojak

hehe

ANIMO SAN BEDA BEAT LETRAN!

[harry_gucc]

Kailangan maglaro ng Letran as a team. Kaya yan. Arriba!

[mint_dine]

Go San Beda Fight

[Clarkent]

So far ngayong second round wala pang natatalo ang Letran among Final Four contenders..

Pano kaya ang placing pag nanalo ang Letran dito?

[kentski]

kung ako papipiliin, mas gusto ko manalo Letran... kso school pride ang pinaglalabanan ** e... kaya SAN BEDA pa din dapat manalo!

ANIMO SAN BEDA!

[Dwyane Wade]

Don't go soft sissy! makin comments like that sounds cheesy and gay! :grrr:

Let show them Knights some Mendiola beating!

ANIMO!

[FerdinandMarcos]

I have to agree with you, trying to be friendly with the enemy is very much gay! where's the hate in you brother! lol


Go! San Beda, Fight!

[u neek]

Letran is against all odds going into this game. Mapua, San Sebastian and JRU will all be cheering for San Beda in this particular game.

[chant animo!]

ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!!

we will ROCK THE KNIGHTS AWAY!!!!!

[Lustful Kisses]

:lol: come wednesday, it'll be 4 vs 1 *okay*

[chronobreak18]

^^^and they timed the event right after the cheerdance competitions, which means there could be a sizeable crowd from the other 3 teams (MIT JRU and SSC-R) who may cheer against CSJL. hehe.

[chant animo!]

Dont Forget To Wear Read!!!
Hehe

[FerdinandMarcos]

I'll be anticipating a physical game from Letran. Twice to beat advantage is their motivation and they will do everything to get that edge in the Final Four. Referees should be extra alert to those cheap shots. There's always something unpleasant happens during a San Beda v Letran game.

[dethgawd]

mapua will cheer for letran ...hehehe
good luck neighbours

[69galaxy]

To the Red Lions, bring your fearsome A-game. To those 3 schools, bring your red shirts..and cheer for San Beda. Bati-bati muna.

[red_saint09]

naku baka ma-late ako sa game...pero sana may effect pa din *** ginagawa namin ng friend ko na ritual..haha..para manalo ang san beda..

go san beda fight! go for 2-0 and 11-3

[FerdinandMarcos]

Tentative pa ba maglaro si Garvo Lanete?

[Ferocious Lion]

^ Out for the season na si Du Canlas and Garvo Lanete.

[red_saint09]

assuming na natalo ang letran it would be 11-3 for san beda and 9-5 for letran..so apat pa lang ang tie

[LETRANISTA98-06]

Lets support our fellow Knights this coming Wednesday. Im sure that SSC, MAPUA AND JRU will cheer for the Red Lions for their own slot for the twice to beat advantage. May the best team wins.....

Now, Hail the Men from Old Letran

Tried are they, both good and true;

On their palm see victory's tan,

While on their breast sits friendship too.


We are the Men from Old Letran

Ne'er dismayed on Field nor Track,

Push on victory to the van!

Rah! Rah! Letran! Anack!

Bedans will answer the clarion's call,

[FerdinandMarcos]

Dude, this will be the last game of the regular season, so apat talaga ang magttie if ever matalo ang Letran.

However if Letran wins, then both Letran and San Beda will be tied at 10-4. Given that both team will have a twice to beat edge in the semis, how will be the positioning? who will take the top spot among the two? Will it be San Beda or Letran?:confused:

Assuming Letran wins; If they beat San Beda by less than 4pts, SBC will still be number 1, If they defeat SBC by at least 5pts, Letran will take the number 1 position. Ewan ko lang mangyayari kung 4pts lang din lamang nila

[Dwyane Wade]

The three golden-colored teams(Mapua, SSC, JRU) will be watching this game, hoping the Red Lions will defeat the Knights.

Letran will be doing a triple kill if they win this one, but don't worry we won't let them just do that.

Thanks, Red Lions will try to win by 50pts just to be sure. hehe (wishful thinking) ;)

^^Oist wag ka ganyan. Ganyang ganyan din sinabi mo nung 2007 CCL natin against UST, napahiya tuloy tayo sa ganyang forecast mo:naughty:

hmm..Letran vs San Beda?.....the team who wants more other than a school pride, will win it..

[boredtoday]

why? is chico that bad? last game he fueled our run with his pesky defense to come back from 10pts behind.

chico is good, when he doesn't turn the ball over. :D let's just not hate on any of our players ayos. with all the injuries and everything, that's the last thing that the team needs right now. :)

[pusongbaste]

Mga fellow Sebastinians nood tayo sa wednesday. Kailangan kasing dami ng pumunta nung last Wednesday ang pupunta this coming Wednesday! *okay* Lets support the Red Lions! *okay* Bati bati muna tayo ngayon bedans! Pero wag natin kalimutan ang tunay na ipupunta natin sa game na yun. Kailangan din ng suporta ng pep squad natin! *okay* GO RED LIONS! GO SAN SEBASTIAN PEP SQUAD! WEAR YELLOW!

BRAVO BASTE!!!

Although effective at times, I don't think he can be that effective against Letran. Chico is error prone, not ideal to field in against a team who uses a full-court press.

[dark_blue]

Goodluck sa ating lahat!

I hope LCS will perform again the traditional cheers/yells at halftime.*okay*

[Dwyane Wade]

ano kaya magiging strategy ng mga Knights? gagayahin kaya nila ang slow pace ng Mapua or makikipagsabayan sa takbuhan ng Red Lions?

[consecrated]

I think Intense defense siguro ang strategy ng Knights Against the Red Lions.

[try_0]

Have you noticed na kahit gaano kaganda ang depensa ng isang team minsan na o overpower ng SBC dahil walang makapag match up one on one sa kanila. Case in point yung game against SSC.

Kung baga pag matatalo ang SBC eh they just use pure strength to win the game.

[jpmalpass]

^- Not only strength, pati puso din, tulad nga ng sinabi ko, defending champions, lahat yan na experience na nila! Sana sa susunod hindi na magkamali ang Baste, mga kabado kasi. :lol:



BRAVO BASTE!!! :D

[try_0]

^ right on dude!

[u neek]

When the going gets tough, Red Lions use brute force to win games. Menor can outmuscle everyone in this league. There is no stoping this guy not even JRU's Pradas or Letran's Daa. IMO, Menor is already ripe for the pros. Just Imagine speed, power, size and skills.

... plus the hair :rocker:

[u neek]

assuming na natalo ang letran it would be 11-3 for san beda and 9-5 for letran..so apat pa lang ang tie

Regardless of the result of SBC-CSJL game there will still be series of playoff games because of ties.

Aside from Foronda, who are the other frontlines of Letran? Cabonce and Latonio are injured right? The frontline will be the biggest problem of the Knights. How can they contain SBC big men Sam Ekwe, Dave Marcelo, JR Taganas, Jake Pascual and Taupa with just Foronda?

[harry_gucc]

Kung mag aayos ng laro si Guevarra at si Daa, may pag asa pa. Kayang kaya nila yan wag lang kakabahan. Makakabalik na ba si Cabonce?

Scenarios

NCAA Scenarios
Written by jonas_terrado
Sunday, September 07, 2008 10:53:00 AM

The following contains the scenarios that the NCAA will map out in case of a three-way tie or a four-way tie for second.

The NCAA is using FIBA classification point system.

In case of a three-way tie at 9-5:
W L P
No.3 SSC-R 3 1 7
No. 4 MIT 2 2 6
No. 5 JRU 1 3 5

No. 4 will play No. 5 in KO match, winner will face No. 3 for seeding in the Final Four, No. 3 or No. 4 while loser automatically out.
Note: This scenario is only applicable if Letran wins against SBC on Wednesday. In that case, both teams will have 10-4 cards and assured of twice-to-beat, but will have to play in a playoff to determine which team takes No. 1 and No. 2 spots.

In case of four-way tie at 9-5:
W L P
No.2 SSC-R 4 2 10
No. 3 MIT 3 3 9
No. 4 Letran 3 3 9
No. 5 JRU 2 4 8

Note: This scenario is only applicable if SBC beats Letran on Wednesday. In that case, SBC gets the top seeding in the Final Four and the first twice-to-beat incentive.
Note: LC and MIT - Both teams are tied with 9 points each, but it doesn't matter which team gets No. 3 or No. 4 in the KO seeding because they will face-off whatever their quotient is.

No. 2 will play No. 5 and No. 3 will play No. 4. Winners of both games will play in another KO match to determine which team gets No. 2 seeding in the Final Four and the twice-to-beat incentive. Losing team gets No. 3. Losing teams in the first two KO matches will also play in another KO match to determine No. 4.

NCAA path down to two scenarios
by Mike Abasolo
1,872 Views | 96 Comments


This part of College Basketball is getting better and better each week. After the final game of the elimination round, we’ll find out the best scenario possible for NCAA Season 84. In my years of following the NCAA, this is probably the 1st time, in such a long time, a situation like this has ever happened.

So we are on another history trail in the making. It’s been an exciting season so far. And this is what all of you NCAA enthusiasts are willing to pay for. Let us look at only two remaining scenarios.

If Letran wins on September 10, San Beda and Letran will have an identical 10-4 card and will have a three way tie at 9-5, we can call them the Fab Five for now, but it can also be the Final Five, but definitely not the one from motown.

Anyway, both are assured of twice to beat but will have another playoff game to determine who takes the summit.

San Sebastian, Mapua and JRU, in pecking order, comprise 3rd, 4th and 5th spot of the standings. With JRU’s loss to Mapua in the 2nd round and using the FIBA point system (Rule D – Classification of Teams plus assuming the NCAA Mancom has made the right arithmetic), to determine the seeding order, the Cardinals ended up with better numbers thus seizing the No. 4 spot. Mapua’s resilience throughout the elimination round actually paid off.

To determine the 4th seed, Mapua and JRU will have a sudden death outing to be determined after September 10. The winner of the sudden death affair will face San Sebastian in another do or die encounter to determine the 3rd and 4th spot of the Final Four.

If San Beda wins on September 10, San Beda will be untouchable with its twice to beat advantage intact.

If this happens, it will be a Final Four towards the Final Four because of a four-way tie at 9-5.

Using again the FIBA point system, San Sebastian, Mapua, Letran and JRU shall comprise the order of business in this series. In this case, San Sebastian will face JRU, and Mapua will take on Letran.

Winners will have another round to determine who sits on No. 2 and get the next twice to beat incentive. The loser takes the 3rd slot.

Losers will have their own series to determine the No. 4 slot and earn the right to face the NCAA defending champs in case this scenario comes to life. Loser takes a vacation.

So there you have it. An NCAA Season worth remembering. It is surely one of the most memorable ever. And who says that this is a league dominated by a single team? Anybody who thinks like so is absolutely mistaken.

[pusongbaste]

if i have offended you in such a way i wasn't aware of and in the process have bruised your ego, i'm very very sorry.

promise, you're gonna like me more in personal.

Apology accepted! Fish! *peace*

Goodluck sa team niyo! :)

I checked the ticketnet site. masmahal ticket ng NCAA compared to the rival league.

OO nga, 400 nga ang Patron eh, parang PBA na yung price! Hahaha! Pero sulit naman. *okay*

[jpmalpass]

Guys, tignan nyo ang List of Events ng Araneta Coliseum sa website nila, nakakatawa dahil dapat mas mahaba ang season natin ngayon kesa sa UAAP dba? Pero aba, talagang ang UAAP ginawa nilang September 28 ang Finals nila, tayo 26... :lol:

[jpmalpass]

Ayon sa website ng Araneta, sa Friday na pala magaganap yung mga playoff games, nako nako, exciting ha, pero tignan nyo, dba dapat dalawang araw yung playoffs? Kasi ang playoff nakalagay sa Friday na, tapos Final four na agad sa Monday? Ang gulo nila, dapat playoff parin sa Monday eh... :D

Ang badtrip diyan eh pinag kaka kitaan ng NCAA ang mga estudyante. Yung championship last year eh 120 lang ang upper a. Niloloko na tayo ng MANCOm eh. Kung gusto ng NCAA wag naman ipasa sa atin yung gusto nila na kumita. Maghanap naman sila ng sponsors. Kawawa ang estudyante.

Isang game day lang ang playoffs?! If I'm not mistaken, regardless of the result of San Beda - Letran there will be atleast 4 playoff games to determine the positioning in the Final 4. so there should be atleast 2 playoff game dates.

baka hindi sa Araneta yung isang playoff gameday.. wathuthink guys?

[billbordzz]

baka ndi lang updated *** sched sa site

[billbordzz]

or un nga baka tama rin si ferdinandmarcos...ndi sa araneta *** isang playoff

Hindi po, kasi ang nakalagay eh Final 4 na agad next Monday, hindi din pwedeng sabihin na sa ibang Arena gaganapin yung isang playoff kasi Monday na agad yung semis eh, baka mali lang nga yung site. *okay*

classic flamebait.

shameful comment, first of all, Bedans respect Bastinians. Their Assistant Coach Jolly Escobar is a Bedan, which makes them a very dangerous opponent because they have an inside track of the mind set of our team. We also respect the Stags because of their strong 90's team that defeated our team (Bajar, Rivera, Manuel, Gonzales) fair and square on the hard court. Our sense of history acknowledges that the Stags is a very competitive opponent with good and decent support from their crowd.

2nd, Mapuans are great engineers and the institution has its own plane, so how can they not afford tickets. The Mapuans also handed us a disappointing defeat in the finals when our team was then composed of Victoria, Morano and Manucat. They have our respect and we are not crass as to insult them in this manner.

Viva Mapua.
Bravo Baste

EL REAL COLEGIAL DE LETRAN

Slow pace game seems effective for Mapua when playing against San Beda. I doubt if Letran can match-up against San Beda in a transition game.

I say, slow pace and play zone defense *okay*

For San Beda, they just have to be wary of the three point shots and perimeter shooting of Letran. Guards should avoid turnovers at all cost. Coach Frankie should anticipate the daunted full-court press of Letran.


ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!

Deny the Knights of the 2x to beat advantage for the nth time!

Few hundreds or a thousand is not that much. Besides a San Beda - Letran game is worth the price.

[try_0]

Upper B nalang daw meron. Aasa nalang ako sa SRO na upper A.

Yes you are right marcos but the point here is that the MANCOM are using the students to have a profitable year instead of having advertisers shoulder the expense tht they are passing to the students.

I say, slow pace and play zone defense

For San Beda, they have just have to be wary of the three point shots and perimeter shooting of Letran. Guards should avoid turnovers at all cost. Coach Frankie should anticipate the daunted full-court press of Letran.


ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!

Deny the Knights of the 2x to beat advantage for the nth time!


..lets say, much better if the KNIGHTS will push the ball hard!!
they nid to outrun RL this time.. and they nid to konek their long range shots!!!
..gud point, RL nid to break the Full court press of the KNIGHTS ...
i think LETRAN will make their full court press immediately to intimidate the RL!!!!



ARRIBA LETRAN!!!!!!!

[archer_reigns]

ay ano ba yan. nilaglag na nga ng beda yung laro, natalo parin letran. sayang naman.

bakit ganun? hindi ko yata nakita si ekwe? halatang hindi sineseryoso yung laban..

[pulangpula]

ay ano ba yan. nilaglag na nga ng beda yung laro, natalo parin letran. sayang naman.

bakit ganun? hindi ko yata nakita si ekwe? halatang hindi sineseryoso yung laban..

in reaction to the banner na "san beda = nothing w/o ekwe" kaya binangko

di nila alam na iyung apprentice ni ekwe na si marcelo eh boy scout (laging handa)

hehehehehe

[Emperior7]

considering na wala na si ekwe sa game, naging malakas parin yung team ng beda,, good for you guys! *okay*

sports lang tayu. laro lang po to. heheh!


nice game on both teams!!
Go beda!! Go LC Chiks! hahahah



Viva Mapua!! :naughty:

[tophe_17]

Mapua VS Letran
JRU vs SSC

winners will battle for 2nd seed. losers will battle for 4th?

Yup. Battle for the 4th for the losers.

So winning the games on Monday would guarantee either positions 2 or 3.

[sigmaroh123]

the winners of the KNOCK OUT games will have a virtual best of 3

[validus]

"without ekwe san beda?"

pikon talaga sa frankie lim. pinatulan pa yung banner.

[Emperior7]

so kung compeleto na yung F4,

yung seed 2 at san beda ang maglalaban ng championship?

so meaning, wala nang pag asa yung 3seed at 4th :mecry:??

[tophe_17]

Nope. Maglalaban pa yung Final 4 (after the 4-way tie is broken).
For now, we have to know what are the teams of the F4 and their respective positions. Para start na ang F4 matches.

Usually 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3.

Last year we were 4th. Kaya kinalaban natin ang San Beda, then no. 1 team.

[billbordzz]

oo nga eh... pero buti na lang pikon sya kasi lumabas ang laro nila marcelo... tsaka nabigyan ng playing time ang bench... speaking of... bench pala nagpapanalo halos!...

sana ndi kalawangin sa paghihintay ng kalaban ang san beda... kapag kasi mahaba bakasyon ng team natin parang ang panget nila maglaro eh

[Emperior7]

ah.. thanks tophe sa info. heheh

may pag asa pa! beat them cards!!!

para tapos na daw ang issue once and for all hehe..
what now letran? let's see what you're made of. mahirap bumangon sa ganitong klaseng talo. you hit san beda w/ your best shots pero luhaan pa din kayo sa dulo. WALA pa si ekwe nyan.
Goodluck na lang sa next game nyo!

[ennaehj]

just a question, what happened to ekwe? Why did he not participate in the game?

[Lustful Kisses]

just a question, what happened to ekwe? Why did he not participate in the game?

panget po ata laro niya ngayon? yung mga free throws niya di napasok.. pero nung isang game nila, di siya naupo.. nung kalaban ata nila baste....

[69galaxy]

it's a game they could afford to lose so i think the coaching staff decided to give ekwe a rest. bonus na lang ang panalo. nahasa pa si dave.

[kentski]

asteeg! *** pa *** si ekwe nun... pero nanalo pa rin, proof talaga na hindi *** si ekwe dahilan kng bakit nananalo San Beda.... sayang, i was not able to watch, busy kse sa office... madami ba nanuod knina? e sa cheering? di **** ba nilangaw?

[billbordzz]

without sam ekwe...san beda??? can still win!

[jpmalpass]

[EcKo_01]

*proven: SBC can win without ekwe...

ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!!

what if ekwe played? you'll never know. he was even the liability that's why Letran led most of the game and probably the reason why he was pulled out eh. *okay*
Good thing wala si cabonce. :naughty:

[jpmalpass]

Kung naglaro si Ekwe, uulan ng rebounds para sa Beda. :)

[billbordzz]

ang labo naman oo... nung una sinasabi nyo na kung wala si ekwe matatalo kami... ngayong nanalo pinapalabas nyo naman na wala kasi syang ginagawa... ohh please! ngayon wala si cabonce... compare ekwe to cabonce... tsktsk napapakamot ako

[poloRL222]

^ yaan na natin bro. people will find their way to criticize RL. well wala naman to dapat patunayan eh..

[EcKo_01]

Si Jazul kanina nagyayabang ha. Nagaangas dun sa crowd ng SBC. :) Wala lang.

nanuod ka ba ng game kanina? I did.
He was taunted by the bedans esp those old ones na na "baba".
It may be funny for some, but for him probably it is maligning him in such a way.
Kung medyo nag-aangas si Jazul earlier, he had that reason siguro why.

[69galaxy]

a lesson to everyone: don't give your opponent extra motivation to beat you. Letran learned it the hard way.

[billbordzz]

meron pare...no-bearing game... nanalo!

[EcKo_01]

compare ekwe to cabonce... tsktsk napapakamot ako

it is not comparing ekwe to cabonce but what the latter can bring to the team. Di ko naman sila kinumpara di ba?:naughty:

[Rey_pumaloy]

medyo di malinaw mga tawag ng ref. kanina medyo pabor lahat sa san beda pag lumalamang ang letran tawag ng tawag ng foul hay magkano kaya???

[chant animo!]

Letran: "without Ekwe, Sa'n Beda???"

San Beda: Without Ekwe, "still, We Won!"

[chant animo!]

Pero Sayang Yun....letran!!!

Nice Game Nice Game!!!

Bumawi Kayo Sa Playoffs Nyo With The Other Teams!!!!


Still I Want To See Letran In The Finals!

[69galaxy]

had a chance to talk to jazul one time. mabait at magalang naman na bata. mayaman sa 'po' at 'opo' kahit di naman malayo ang edad namin. napikon lang malamang sa mga below-the-belters dyan. but he better learn not to be pikon though. madaming alaskador sa mundo ng basketbol.

[billbordzz]

yupyup nice game talaga! isa sa mga nagpakaba sa akin besides the baste-beda game...

The Best Game This Season...
Truly, A Classic

[pgma]

i think cabonce can score 50pts easily. talo sila kasi di naglaro.

[validus]

6. countless offensive fouls
7. 2 inbound violations by ekwe
8. Taupa and soliman who can easily score 40 points each in a game didn't play.
9. no extra rice for taganas.

[pulASUL]

ekwe did not play much....not feeling well raw....dave marcelo stepped up defensively and had a lot of block shots...more than 5 blocks siguro...

i think the reason why ekwe did not play because sobra ang bantay sa kanya ni foronda.

pansin ko si foronda, ang game nya lang kanina, huwag palapitin si ekwe sa basket. kaya ayun, nilabas ni coach nila...

hahahaha:rotflmao::rotflmao: not because para sa plyaing time ng iba.

congrats na rin sa beda!

San Beda stops Letran; four squads now tied for second
by Josef Ramos

SAN BEDA College not only disposed of its archrivals, but left a ton of work for four other teams vying for three Final Four slots.

Slippery playmaker Borgie Hermida scored on a buzzer-beating tear drop to pilot the Red Lions to a pulsating 65-63 overtime victory against the Letran Knights in the 84th NCAA men’s basketball tournament last September 10, 2008 at the Araneta Coliseum.

After Letran go-to-guy RJ Jazul’s registered a game-tying basket, Hermida inbounded the ball to Pong Escobal, who then passed it back to the former San Beda Red Cub after three Knights suffocated him on defense. Hermida knocked in the shot to leave Letran and three other squads to battle it out for the remaining semifinal berths.

“I really had no idea that there’s enough time after receiving that pass from Pong. I though we were heading to another OT,” said Hermida, who fired in 12 of his 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field in the fourth period. “This was a classic game for me and for my team.”

The Red Lions bucked the sluggish play of center Sam Ekwe, who tallied a season-low four points and six rebounds in 19 minutes of play, thanks in part to the Knights’ pesky defense in the shaded area.

“It was Sam’s worst game. We could not get anything from him even in the second half,” said San Beda head coach Frankie Lim when asked by why he did not play Ekwe in the overtime period. “We used Dave Marcelo instead.”

Marcelo hauled down eight rebounds and swatted three shots in 26 minutes of action.

The Red Lions, with the win, closed out the elimination round with an 11-3 mark and will have a week-long rest before plunging into action in the Final Four. The Letran Knights joined San Sebastian College, Mapua and Jose Rizal University in a four-way logjam for second place.

Now, the Knights have to play Mapua while JRU take on San Sebastian on Monday. The winners of both games duel for the second twice-to-beat incentive or the number two spot, while the losers tangle for the number four slot.

San Beda almost won the game in regulation but Ogie Menor, who only had eight points but grabbed seven rebounds and dished out five assists, managed to only split his two charities off a Kirk del Rosario foul with 17.9 seconds left. That knotted the count at 54-all.

Chico Tirona banged in a three-pointer that shattered the 60-all deadlock with 1:01 left in overtime, giving the defending champions a 63-60 edge. Then, Jazul split his charities in the ensuing play to slice the San Beda advantage to 61-63 with 42 seconds remaining.

After San Beda’s 24-second shot-clock violation, Jazul immediately scored and tied the count at 63 with six seconds left, before Hemida pulled off his backbreaker.

“Hats off to Borgie, he made this exciting shot. He was struggling in the first half but he stepped up down the stretch,” said Lim. “I just needed to encourage him because I believe he’s coming back and it happened.”

Guard Pong Escobal, who was picked by Talk ‘N Text in the recent 2008 PBA Rookie Draft, topscored for the Red Lions with 15 points and four assists.

“We really lost it,” said Letran coach Louie Alas. “I’m hoping we can get back at them. Anyway, we still need to win a crucial game against Mapua on Monday.”

Jazul finished with 18 points while Dino Daa contributed 10 points, five rebounds and three assists for the Knights, who scored 28 points off of San Beda’s 29 errors. But the Mendiola outfit had 10 more rebounds than their opponents (43-33).

Sabi lang yun ni Coach Frankie Lim...

Ngayon, kinakain na ng mga Letranites pati ng mga detractors ni Sam Ekwe from other schools ang mga sinabi nila.



LETRAN: Without Ekwe, S'an Beda?

SAN BEDA: PANALO PA RIN!


GO!

San Beda

FIGHT!!!


Teka, anong kaguluhan meron sa baba?


:rotflmao:

[billbordzz]

may apat na team sa baba!

[scqg]

letran gave the game away to san beda. i can't believe the number of turnovers committed by letran in the last one minute of the game (4th quarter). they just simply allowed san beda to take over the game. overtime was all about missed free throws by letran that could have tied the game.

[attyatlast]

Letran, having a six point lead, relaxed too much during the last minutes of regulation.Not knowing that a span of 1 to 2 minutes is to long a time to catch up...And the Red lions did catched up...though a perfect free throw by Hermida could have ended the game in regulation...Ayus lang....he made up for this in a spectacular fashion ....

[boredtoday]

ouch! you mean we are stuck with Tirona?! WTF?!?! We will be having difficulties in our backcourt rotations.

why? is chico that bad? last game he fueled our run with his pesky defense to come back from 10pts behind.

chico is good, when he doesn't turn the ball over. :D let's just not hate on any of our players ayos. with all the injuries and everything, that's the last thing that the team needs right now. :)

Although effective at times, I don't think he can be that effective against Letran. Chico is error prone, not ideal to field in against a team who uses a full-court press.

2/2 FT
steady mid-range pull-up j
and big trifecta for the lead

well, what can i say? chico proved you wrong :D

[KnightofLetran]

letran gave the game away to san beda. i can't believe the number of turnovers committed by letran in the last one minute of the game (4th quarter). they just simply allowed san beda to take over the game. overtime was all about missed free throws by letran that could have tied the game.

medyo na-excite during the dying minutes of the 4th quarter.It is very uncanny for Letran not to waste some time. Del rosario and Ranises fumbled during the crucial minutes + the missed free throws of guevarra during overtime. breaks of the game lang nagkatalo.

They have a good gameplan against ekwe being at the forefront. Dun masyado yung focus nila,and then maybe lim realized it, they decided to bench ekwe and let the 2nd stringers play. from 1st to 3rd, walamg play si ekwe and the knights are obviously taking advantage of it.

Maybe the good thing that can come out of this, is for alas to have a plan b or c, if ever lim decides to forego with ekwe, and decides to let the 2nd stringers play.

[rb28]

oh gud for that boy.

si Jazul pala ay mapagkumbaba

"Winning is Sweeter the Second Time Around: MENDIOLA TOOKOVER INTRAMUROS"


Despite the pouring rain outside the araneta coliseum, an army of red and sea of blue filled the seats of the Big Dome. It was the second round face-off of two of the four oldest teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Philippines. The Letran Knights came with their armor on to claim a sure twice to beat advantage spot.On the other hand, the Red Lions arrived roaring to prove that they are the team to beat and to attest that the Intramuros boys do not have the material to stop them from roaring.

Come the first quarter, the knights fired up the court, press defensing right away the red lions. With jazul's 3-point contributions, the knights proved their superiority over the red lions ending the 1st quarter with an 11 point lead, 20-9. "Beat San Beda, Arriba Letran", "Animo San Beda, Beat Letran", "C-S-J-L Arriba Letran", "Go San Beda Fight!", sixthman of both teams were cheering with all their hearts during the second quarter. Turnovers were all over the place proving the defense skill of both teams. Still, letran retains their composure in the first half silencing the red lion with a 7 point lead 30-23.

From the SAN BEDA's bullying technique of last year - FAUNDO. Season 84 comes with a new cheer for the mendiola kids. MVP contender Jazul of letran had been dubbed as "BABA". It seems the technique works. 3rd quarter was indeed the red lions' revenge cutting the lead of letran down to 3, 42-39. Letran's famous banner "WITHOUT EKWE S'AN BEDA" seems to attest coach lim. The Ekwalizer had a little exposure the whole game. Nevertheless, even without ekwe, from the 1st quarter's 11 point lead of letran, the red lions proved that you can never really under estimate the heart of the champions ending the 4 quarters 54 all.

Overtime seems to start the both team from scratch. The arriba and animo boys struggled at the free throw line. During the last 17 seconds, the intramuros boys anticipated that they will be having the last possession. However, the lions forced a turnover giving Hermida the chance to have the buzzer beater point. Mendiola tookover intramuros ending the game 65-63.

^ a little humility please, huwag kayong ganyan.

Good luck sa JRU.

Jazul made a mistake in leaving Borgie to trap Escobal. Trap Escobal?!? You kidding me?!

Nice return pass by Pong.

[FerdinandMarcos]

No timeout left, 6 seconds remaining, Borgie ibound pass to Pong.. return pass to Borgie... three Knights in the face of Hermida... the dagger off the glass... Kaboom!

was that Jazul giving the "finger" to the Bedan crowd after his game-tying shot?

a perfect example of a letranite.:lol:

[FerdinandMarcos]

Indeed, How about Kojak Melegrito's unsportmanlike foul to Escobal? It seems that the monkey never learned his lesson.

Good game by both teams...

I don't think so. It looked like he was calling for his teammates to take one man each to defend the inbounds play. Besides, in a critical time like that, talking trash is the last thing on one's mind when the game is on the line.

In a way, it does reflect your character... let me remind you that players represent the school, that is why the name of your school was embedded in your players' jerseys.

I'm still giving you guys the benefit of the doubt. but just take a look at the photo below. I don't think he is giving instructions or pointing out to any players in the court as you said. IMO it seems that he's pointing his "finger" to the bedan crowd. but again I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt. I might be wrong... might be not.

This happens after his game-tying shot.
