bilog ang bola tandaan ang season 70 at ang laban sa UP. Go NU kayang kaya natin ito!

[beagle_6thman]

Hindi na sana. Lightning had striken us twice already (NU, '07 and UP, '09). I believe they will do what they did in the first round. Start up fire, finish with a bang!

[RuckuS]

ubos na ang mga "himala". Ateneo will destroy NU .. AGAIN.

[QUBE]

Good luck Blue Eagles!

Huwag lang maging kampante, kayang-kaya ito.

ONE BIG FIGHT!!!

TFC :wave: ako po si marian rivera :?:

[technologica]

may naalala ako sa laban ng ateneo vs nu sa ninoy aquino stadium.. season 70 ata o 71 yun basta good luck na lang sana maulit hahaha

[HansMon]

Siguro naman we've learned by now not to take ANY team for granted?

Go Ateneo!

[Gospel of Judas]

kahit ata sila tiongson, chua de chavez, golla, burke (nasa team a pa ba 'to?) lang ang palaurin dito mananalo pa din ateneo.

wag na paglaruin sila rabeh. overkill yun.

[HeadBaker]

magic tiongson vs magic singh. magandang rivalry 'to!

[strikestrike]

kahit ata sila tiongson, chua de chavez, golla, burke (nasa team a pa ba 'to?) lang ang palaurin dito mananalo pa din ateneo.

wag na paglaruin sila rabeh. overkill yun.

Sana makalamang na kaagad ang ADMU para makita ko naman maglaro ang furture ng ADMU basketball! =) One Big Fight!

[theeng69]

back in season 70, NU beat Ateneo because Ateneo was considerably a weak team. Ford Arao and Chris Tiu were the only ones carrying the team compared to last season and today's season wherein the whole starting five up to 3 guys in the bench contribute a lot. Plus, NU had the second leading scorer that time Jonathan Fernandez, a good scoring point guard in Jonathan Jhanke, and uber talented forward Edwin Asoro.

Now, who do they have? Well, Hermosisima and Baloran are the only ones who can score in this team. Both will be checked well by Baclao and Long. So, who's left? Ajeet Singh? He's an up and coming Bader Malabes so he won't be a problem for the probably the best three point shot defenders in the league.

An upset? Not a chance. NU is not UP, a team who has talent and skills but lack the end game leadership. NU may be a force in the future but that will be quite distant.

[RuckuS]

magic tiongson vs magic singh. magandang rivalry 'to!

tama! at irolyo mo na rin ako ng isa dyan. :)

[QUBE]

I still hope that Ateneo will not be complacent.

One game at a time.

GO BLUE EAGLES!

ONE BIG FIGHT!!!

[Azulforumer]

Hope Ateneo fights 100% all the time.

Their last 4 games are against FEU, Adu, NU and UP. Based on current standing, since UE has 6 wins and Ateneo has 9, and both have 4 remaining games, then Ateneo only needs to win 2 to gain the twice to beat advantage.

[The Rock]

Talk about going in opposite directions. The defending champion Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles have rung up six straight wins on the way to clinching a spot in the Final Four after their last victory over UST. The National University Bulldogs have lost four straight games, the last of which was a 29-point blowout at the hands of Adamson. Now, they’ll have to play a team that crushed them 75-47 this past August 1.

In that last contest, NU and Ateneo actually played a tight first quarter that was tied 8-8. The bad news for Coach Manny Dandan’s crew was that reigning MVP Rabeh al-Hussaini had 10 second quarter points for the Blue Eagles to power a 22-4 run and effectively put the team from Katipunan ahead to stay.

Just this past Sunday, Ateneo trailed UST for most of their game as al-Hussaini was plagued by foul trouble. But in the final period, Coach Norman Black’s quintet fed their big man consistently and got some timely outside sniping from Kirk Long to secure an 80-70 win over the Growling Tigers. Now that the Blue Eagles have clinched a spot in the Final Four, the next goal is to secure the number one position and the twice-to-beat advantage.

NU got 11 first quarter points from Mervin Baloran versus Adamson, but he was largely held in check the rest of the way. Gunner Kokoy Hermosisima was silenced and aside from a dunk, Jewel Ponferrada’s night was pretty forgettable. Whatever magic Ajeet Singh seemed to weave early in round one has evaporated into thin air as the rest of the league has adjusted to the rookie’s style of play. A 13-point second half against the Falcons brought back memories of NU being the UAAP’s traditional whipping boys.

Winning over the Bulldogs might be viewed by some as a mere formality, but history has proven that NU can bite Ateneo hard when they least expect it, as was the case in season 70. Coach Black can’t let his troops fall into the trap of complacency lest history repeat itself this Thursday.

[rickrude]

bilog ang bola tandaan ang season 70 at ang laban sa UP. Go NU kayang kaya natin ito!

Sumakay ka pa bugoy. Cheer mo rin ang original team mo na talunan at cheater na la salle na makasama sa final four para di ka masyado luhaan:rolleyes:..

[civil_batch87]

Go National U!

Durugin ang kalaban!

[djmarquezlim]

for an atenean, nakakatakot din etong game kasi most of the time, di sineseryoso yung laro kapag kalaban nila yung lowest sa standings. it's almost a sure thing that norman black would use this game to try out his line-up again. ok lang iyon basta tambak na yung game (and by tambak, at least 25 points or something iyon)

as long as they don't treat NU like a HS team, then they'll be fine

[lovejones]

honestly, eto yung mga tipong kalaban na pwedeng maisahan ang blue eagles.

good luck guys. remember what coach norman said: "no yabang"

[miong_0804]

Sa tingin ko wala ng upset ngayon.

[Pizza Guy]

In fairness...being an Atenean, NU has a very big chance to steal this game from the Eagles.

No, it's not defense. Not even motion offense.

The answer's quite simple:
Ipasok nang sabay si Kirk at si Vince. :lol:

[tubong_batasan]

ADMU by 15-20 pts.
or NU by less than 5 pts.

[barbs-foreva]

natuto na ang ADMU ..wala ng upset yan .

goodluck to both teams.

[Demon Wings]

NU scares me at this point. There's nothing more dangerous than a team with nothing left to play for except a few laughs at the expense of the better teams. This is usually the point where the pressure mounts and teams are trying to build momentum entering the playoffs. NU's simply playing to get more experience heading into next year.

But one of the things Coach Norman has helped improve is Ateneo's game-long poise and composure. Besides, nag-quota na ang Ateneo sa "WTF" upsets this season.

OBF!

[hydrangea]

Hope Ateneo does not get too cocky.

Isang Malaking Laban!

[icko_cousin]

Yeah
Isang Malaking Laban!
Go Ateneo! :)

[Red_Engr]

Durog durog ang Bulldogs dito, walang himala sa hapon na ito at hindi makikialam si Santino dito at hindi magdadasal kay Bro.

[boy_yelo]

did i missed jessica for the cs report? or ala siya?

here wo go again.. im annoyed of aaron atayde's lines when commenting.. no offense..

panay "no good" pagmiss shot saka "gets it to go" pagnakakashoot..

nagmana ke boom gonzales.. napaghahalataan tuloy na di marunong..

manong gumamit naman ng ibang lines..

mas gusto kong sa radyo na lang siya lol

[Larry Legend]

The rout is on!

Ateneo 24
NU - 3

2nd Qtr, 7:34

[illumina]

Ryan's back!

[elhy]

mukhang may pag-asang magdilang anghel ang sinabi sa first page na makaka50 points ang lamang...hehe...sobra talaga kung mangyayari iyun

[koichi777]

Damn! Go Ateneo!

Blue Eagles just choking the life out of NU. I honestly pity them. Overkill so far by Ateneo - which is the way it should be.

Reminds me of USA Dream Team versus Angola in 1992 - just in terms of score.

[mcarlos223]

update pls :)

[koichi777]

Kawawa NU...random thoughts going thru my head...

I'm sure these guys from NU are nice boys...they have things to look forward to after tonight's game...like being with their loved ones, or enjoying a nice dinner after the game...things like that...

Other things to keep them upbeat and happy, to make them forget about this game.

[Larry Legend]

Ateneo 40
NU 10

2nd qtr, 48.3 secs

[pup2]

Huwag ka na humingi ng update. Almost 30 pts na lamang midway thru the 2nd quarter -- and rising.

1st quarter 1st 5 was actually playing lazy offensively but their defense held up, limitng NU to like 6 points. Then the bench +Buenafe came in and upped the lead to 20+.

Tapos binalik pa yung 3 starters +Buenafe and 1 bench. Ayun halos 30 na. Naaawa tuloy me sa NU, I stopped watching muna.

[koichi777]

Checking my shoulders for dandruff like that Head and Shoulders ad said...but then again I've never ever had dandruff...

and sort of half watching the game...

[civil_batch87]

Kawawa NU...random thoughts going thru my head...

Sanay kaming magGinebra at magbanlaw ng Red Horse. *okay*

[pup2]

Ipasok naman niyo yung ibang rookies ng ADMU ... para magka experience sila at hindi naman ma scar emotionally yung taga NU.

[koichi777]

Sanay kaming magGinebra at magbanlaw ng Red Horse. *okay*

Ok din gawin 'to. Red Horse plus Gin bilog...will definintely make you forget ANYTHING.

:lol:

[barbs-foreva]

ok rin mag swimming sila plus red horse,sarap ng tulog nun .

[civil_batch87]

Ok din gawin 'to. Red Horse plus Gin bilog...will definintely make you forget ANYTHING.

:lol:

Gin bilog? Ano kami poor? Quatro Cantos tol. Nagsisimula na nga kami. Nagbuhos na kami sa takip ng Ginebra at itinapon na namin sa lupa. Para sa inyo yon Ateneo. Alam ninyo ang seremonyang yan? :rotflmao:

[bagtitako]

bilog ang bola tandaan ang season 70 at ang laban sa UP. Go NU kayang kaya natin ito!

1st quarter - 1 field goal - zero free throws

2nd quarter - 3 field goals - zero free throws

42-10 at the half

Ok keep on remembering season 70 and better yet get a DVD copy of that and the UP game this season because those game wont happen again any time soon. :naughty:

[RuckuS]

Ipasok naman niyo yung ibang rookies ng ADMU ... para magka experience sila at hindi naman ma scar emotionally yung taga NU.

paano pagpinasok lahat ng banko tapos lalo lumaki lead? hindi kaya psychological trauma na yan?

[Grayback_316]

Hmmmm maraming maling calls e....

from mga out of bounds na NU turnover... last touch naman ng ADMU mga at most 4 na nakikita ko ... until yun napalpal si Ryan Buenafe... dpt traveling.

[koichi777]

Ok lang yan NU. Remember, as that Jollibee ad says, your family still loves you. Seriously, think about that...and be happy after this game.

Go Ateneo!

[barbs-foreva]

wow grabe yung score .. mglalaro pa ba sila ?

wag naman masyadong tambakan ng admu ,respect naman .

[bagtitako]

Dapat ata larong kanto ito kung saan kung malakas kalaban dapat plus 10 na kaagad tapos hanggang 21 lang panalo na. Hahahaha.

[RuckuS]

Ryan Buenafe finally explodes after having a so-so season.

[tubong_batasan]

may live streaming ba dyan?

[RuckuS]

57-23 End of 3rd...

[Larry Legend]

^^^Wag na, maaawa ka lang sa NU.

Ateneo - 57
NU - 23

end of 3rd Qtr.

Who are the two guys broadcasting this game? They sound like noobs!

[RuckuS]

Who are the two guys broadcasting this game? They sound like noobs!

2 Noob Broadcasters*: (After ipasok si Justin Chua) "Its already Garbage Time for the Blue Eagles .."

kakastart pa lang ng 4th Quarter -- "Garbage Time" na?? :rotflmao:

*Aaron Atayde & Sid Ventura

[pup2]

paano pagpinasok lahat ng banko tapos lalo lumaki lead? hindi kaya psychological trauma na yan?

They can always just put in 4 people ... or is that a forfeit? :hmm:

Besides, NU can also put in THEIR bench and say mas magaling lang bench ng ADMU kesa sa bench nila. :)

[pup2]

^^^Wag na, maaawa ka lang sa NU.

Ateneo - 57
NU - 23

end of 3rd Qtr.

Even the great smokin joe cantada would be hard put to make this game seem exciting. As it is, almost every basket by NU gets featured in slow-mo.

:eek:

Ha ha ha, pati yung ABS-CBN ginamit yung mga second-stringer nilang mga sportscaster para sa 'garbage time' na larong ito.

[tubong_batasan]

may final score na?

[illumina]

may final score na?
75-54 .....

[The Rock]

This game ended in the first quarter. After National University’s Kokoy Hermosisima opened the scoring with a three-pointer, the Bulldogs never scored in the period again. After being held to a record-low 3 points in the first quarter and only 10 points to end the first half, the Bulldogs lost to the defending champion Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles 75-54.

A backbreaking 28-0 run followed that Hermosisima three-pointer, and Coach Manny Dandan’s wards never threatened again. Reigning UAAP Most Valuable Player Rabeh al-Hussaini had 7 points while Jai Reyes had 6 for the Eagles in the first period as Ateneo led 16-3. Ryan Buenafe then took over in the second, scoring 3 triples and a total of 14 points in continuing the dominance of the squad from Katipunan. Halftime saw Coach Norman Black’s team leading by an amazing score of 42-10.

From there, it wasn’t a matter of if Ateneo would win, it was by how much. NU tried fighting back in the third, but it was only token resistance at that point. So hot were the Blue and White that as time ran down in the period, Emman Monfort threw up a desperation three-pointer which connected. Entering the fourth canto, Ateneo was up 57-23. Coach Black was able to rest starters Nonoy Baclao and Jai Reyes, neither of whom saw action again after the first quarter.

Even as the Bulldogs tried mounting any semblance of a comeback, the lead was much too big for them to overcome. Recalling that the score in their first round meeting was 75-47 for the Blue Eagles, NU was somehow able to hammer out a more respectable deficit this time around as the final score read 75-54. Buenafe broke out of a season-long sophomore slump to the tune of 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks while al-Hussaini had 15 points and 10 rebounds in only 23 minutes of play.

[ugie]

tsk...tsk...tsk....kawawa naman. Pinagfi-fiestahan lang ito ng mga taga taeneo...

[rush_hour]

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ATENEO BLUE EAGLES!

Finally, Ryan has come out of his shell! I am very happy for him and for our team. I sure hope he continues to play with confidence.

Although we blew the game wide open, I am not happy with the turn overs and the apparent lack of energy. At the half, we had 10 TOs versus NU's 11. I hope Coach Norman would remind the boys that even though we are on top, we should not relax especially on our defense. The NU put back with three nonchalant blue shirts under the basket gave me a slight headache.

Well, at least my wish came true. On the floor: Tiongson, Golla, Gonzaga, De Chavez and.... BURKE! I want to see more of them especially Juami.

Justin Chua: Black Project on going.

What about that buzzer beater three by Emman to end the 3rd quarter?

Overall, it was a good job by the boys in blue. Keep it up!

Lord, thank You for this huge win!


GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT!
Win or lose, it's the School we choose!
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!

[theeng69]

Buenafe doubters out there, there's your answer. Kung gusto ni Buenafe magscore, nakakascore yan. Talagang alam lang kasi niya na hindi siya ang first option kaya mababa ang kanyang output this season. 21 points in 17 MINUTES! Let's see your so called "better player by a mile" Jeric Teng top that!

[RuckuS]

tsk...tsk...tsk....kawawa naman. Pinagfi-fiestahan lang ito ng mga taga taeneo...

walang lamangan. pinag"fiestahan" din naman ng mga taga taeneo ang Lasalle at pati na rin yung ibang mga paaralan.

Sir. NU lang po ang kalaban tonight. Yung team na isa pa lang po ang panalo? :rotflmao:

[pup2]

At least we can safely say NU's 1st string is better than ADMUs 3rd ... bumaba yung lamang eh. :)

Pero I think sa depensa mahina yung 3rd string ... hindi sa scoring.

Kahit wide open na yung game sa 1st quarter pa lang, ADMUs offense was lazy -- not enough cutters and ball movement. It was their D that broke the game open. Imagine 3 lang ang score sa 1st quarter at 0 lang sa 1st half?

Actually, unti unti lang pinasok ni Black yung 2nd and 3rd stringers. Nung malaki na kasi lamang, understandably parang tinatamad na maglaro yung 1st and 2nd stringers eh.

[obscura]

A backbreaking 28-0 run followed that Hermosisima three-pointer,

i've never seen anything quite like it. Ateneo's defense in the first half = as good as it gets.

[stonecold316]

Magaling naman talaga si Jeric Teng. Besides, like what the other poster said, NU kalaban ng Ateneo. Mas malaki talaga chance ni Ryan Buenafe maka score dahil may match-up problem ang NU sa Ateneo.

Congrats to the Blue side.

Er..hold your horses please. ADMU played with an erratic, pathetic, cellar dwelling, NU team. 10 points in the first half!! :eyecrazy: Buanafe played well and let's leave it at that. Let's wait if he can come up with the same numbers against a heavyweight team like FEU. ;) And if he does, I'm with you in your assessment. :naughty:

[CaptainCharisma]

parang phinotocopy lang yung first game haha, sana nakapagset ng defensive record for a whole game kahit sa isang game man lang, record breaking ang defense sa first half, sana nasustain ng 3rd string lalo na sa 4th quarter, nanamantala yung NU pag garbage time e, syempre gusto nila mapababa ang lamang as much as they can pero astig makakita ng final score na nasa 20s lang kung sakali hahaha

[kungpow]

ako dami kong naalala na mga choke ng u.e. , including the monumental season 70 choke in the finals.

kailan ba kayo last nag-finals?

may naalala ako sa laban ng ateneo vs nu sa ninoy aquino stadium.. season 70 ata o 71 yun basta good luck na lang sana maulit hahaha

[civil_batch87]

Sinong unang nagperform nung halftime? Xensya na at hindi na namin pinanood pagkatapos ng first quarter. :naughty:

[civil_batch87]

Ang magandang nangyari, mahihirapang mabreak ang aming record na from mere 3pts sa 1st quarter e natapos ang game namin na 54 pts ang aming score. Exactly 1800 percent increase! Matatagalang mabreak yan. *okay*

[hench7]

Congrats Ryan, keep it up!

Congrats Ateneo! Great defense!

[SpellbindMedia]

Looking back at the games they played so far, ang dominating talaga ng Blue Eagles. YES, hindi sila perfect (10 pt loss vs UP), at maraming room for improvements (TOs), pero they can, given an opponent such as NU, dictate at will other aspects of the game.

- they won (1st match) against a formidable DLSU squad at one of their worst games
- their rookie of the year and one of last year's prolific points contributor is having a so-so season so far (until last night), yet they're doing swell
- bench contribution
- they can run, they can post
- they use 3 pointers properly
- they defend like hell
- they space and pass the ball
- aside from their regular scorers, various players have exploded each game

- in last night's game, given that Baclao was still nursing an injury, coach Norman can choose not to play him as much
- in last night's game again, the coaching staff can 'pad' Rabeh's numbers (and I have this feeling that they monitor this) to make sure he becomes an MVP contender again. In the 3rd (or 4th) canto, when there was really no need for Rabeh to play, he was still in the game. The reason (my opinion): he only had 9 rebounds. The moment he got his 10th, he was pulled out. Another double-double game.
- same goes for Ryan: having a slump? No problem. Give him the go signal to go all out.

[SpellbindMedia]

Also: they manage leads well, and know how to pace themselves to come back if trailing.

[charlie2882]

^^except for that UP game... but honestly i want ateneo to crush UP in their next meeting just like what they did against nu yesterday... that UP win was a fluke... hehehe nagmumukha akong bitter..hehe pero totoo*peace*:rolleyes:

[CaptainCharisma]

^ Battle of Katipunan part 2 is redemption haha

[theeng69]

feel ko nga talaga gusto ng coaching staff dagdagan numbers ni Rabeh. for me, mas kelangan nila sa floor si Baclao kesa kay Rabeh kasi naman he's the defensive anchor in the best defensive team. Pero he's still nursing an injury. Good thing it's not his shot-blocking hand. Siguro they want another MVP title for Rabeh. Being MVP can boost morale tenfold. If Rabeh wins the MVP award, his confidence will be at its maximum going into a most probable finals repeat.

[rintintintin]

Ha ha ha, pati yung ABS-CBN ginamit yung mga second-stringer nilang mga sportscaster para sa 'garbage time' na larong ito.
Haha, natawa ako dito me too i don't like aaron atayde dyan bat ba kasi pinili yang kumag na yan. walang effort mag report haha... mas gusto ko pa si TJ Manotoc dyan at Marco Benitez eh haha....
