Hey, Thomasians, how about making a banner for the tireless workhorse Jervy Cruz who continues to pile up the points and rebounds inspite of being injured?

Second quarter run fuels Red Warrior triumph
by Josef Ramos
Sunday, 6 July 2008 (90 Views, 2 Comments)
UNIVERSITY of the East may have had a frustrating first day on the job, but still managed to fend off the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers, 78-73, in the opening day of the 71st University Athletic Association of the Philippines seniors basketball tournament at the Araneta Coliseum last July 5, 2008.
The Red Warriors managed to overcome an “ugly-officiated opening game” according to coach Dindo Pumaren and a furious Santo Tomas rally behind the exploits of high-flying forward Elmer Espiritu, who scored seven points in the final quarter to tow UE into the win column.
“I do not mind playing with three fouls early in the third quarter. I just keep playing my best out there,” said Espiritu, who tallied 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field and grabbed nine rebounds to lead UE despite being in foul trouble for much of the second half.
University of the East squandered a 64-58 lead at the start of payoff frame thanks to an 8-4 UST spurt, which was capped off by six Jervy Cruz points that reduced the deficit to 66-68 with 4:14 left to go.
But the Red Warriors quickly used an 8-3 run to keep the win.
After Hans Thiele’s split from the charity stripe, UE forced UST into a turnover, resulting into a highlight reel-type three point play converted by Espiritu, which put the Red Warriors on top, 72-66, with 3:19 remaining in the clock.
Cruz answered with a basket to make it 68-72, but missed two important free throws in the 2:33 mark that could have put his squad within reach.
Dylan Ababou split his charities to help UST come within three, 69-72, in the two-minute mark, but Espiritu replied with two free throws of his own and scored on a difficult baseline jumper with less than 20 seconds left to increase the Red Warrior lead to 76-69 and eventually give the Recto-based outfit the victory.
“We played good defense despite the early foul trouble on my players,” said Pumaren. “Elmer [Espiritu] made good plays down the stretch, including two crucial attacks with a minute left. I think that was the turning point in the game.”
University of the East lost guard Paul Lee due to two technical fouls at the 3:02 mark in the third quarter, but UST failed to take advantage of the backcourt handicap.
Thiele poured in 12 of his 13 points in the second canto, while shooting guard Marcy Arellano and James Martinez scored 11 and 10 markers respectively for the Red Warriors, who swept the 14-game elimination round last year.
Rookie John Noble, a former Letran Squire, and Lee combined for 12 points.
“Wow, that’s a good game from a rookie,” said Pumaren of Noble.
A close first quarter that saw the Growling Tigers lead by two, 26-24, was followed by a UE onslaught in the second. Thiele scored eight crucial points in a 20-7 run that gave the Warriors a 50-39 halftime edge.
Cruz led UST with 26 points and grabbed a game-high 22 rebounds, while Dylan Ababou and Chester Taylor scored 15 and 10 points, respectively.
UE shot 37.7% from the field while UST went 33.3%. The Red Warriors also scored 20 points off of 18 Tiger turnovers.
Individual Scores
UE 78 – Espiritu 15, Thiele 13, Arellano 11, Martinez 10, Lee 6, Noble 6, Llagas 5, Etrone 4, Lingganay 4, Bandaying 3, Zamar 1, Tagarda 0.
UST 73 – Cruz 26, Ababou 15, Taylor 10, Allera 8, Cuan 7, Canlas 3, Fenequito 2, Mirza 2, Vargas 0, Fortuna 0, Camus 0, Bautista 0.

Jervy Cruz is the Filipino version of Charles Barkley, and he is the most dominating player in the UAAP because he is capable of producing a rare 20-20 numbers in the Elimination Round.
Despite playing with a hamstring injury, he is still be the best player on the court, and I hope UST will improve their outside shooting because i still believe that this team is the Darkhorse Candidate to win Season 71.
Hans Thiele had a major improvement during the off season by developing his midrange jumpers, and Both Marcy Arellano and Elmer Espiritu played well for the Warriors especially during the 4th quarter.
I am hoping next game that the Tigers will concentrate in improving their team defense, they need to take one game at a time because the team is just starting to jell after adding some talented prospect this year.
Jervy Cruz is my early bet for MVP, and I predict he is going to be the first overall pick in the 2009 PBA Draft.
I remember a certain poster saying that Jervy isn't capable of playing againts 6'8" plus Centers, but he was proven wrong because in the RP Team's exhibition game againts the Singapore Slingers, the 6'4" Jervy Cruz dominated their two 6-10 Centers by scoring 23 points and grabbing a game high 12 rebounds.
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakin...icle_id=100988With big men Alex Crisano and Beau Belga saddled with fouls, reigning UAAP MVP Jervy Cruz manned the slot for the Nationals and more than held his own against the Slingers’ two 6-foot-10 centers.
The 6-foot-4 Cruz posted game-high 23 points and 12 rebounds that enabled the Filipinos to hold the Slingers to a slight 57-54 edge off the boards.
The scores:
RP-HARBOUR CENTRE 100 -- Cruz 23, Castro 16, Salangsang 12, Vergara 11, Alonzo 7, Tiu 7, Crisano 6, Belga 4, Dela Cuesta 3, Bautista 2, Cabahug 0, Chan 0, Tan 0
SINGAPORE SLINGERS 93 -- Allen 15, Janev 15, Helms 13, Fitzgerald 11, Cameron 9, McDonald 9, Knight 9, Grizzard 8, Donaldson 0
Quarters: 12-23; 39-50; 67-72; 100-93
mga tol, kailan ba ang laban natin sa UP?

The team's turnovers caused them to lose against UE. Plus the ill-advised shots by their perimeter players, (Allera in particular).
But I'm satisfied with what I saw in the team as far as their offense, all they got to work on now is their team defense.
VIVA SANTO TOMAS!!!
I'll watch it on tv.
bigla ata nawala si Mirza?
baka may bagsak.
^Wala ba siya sa lineup? Di ako nakapanood e.
I mean, parang nawala yun galing. Last year he was one of the reliable player in the line up. Now, he scored only 2 pts.?
I wish he can make up for the rest of the elims
Good UST game nung Saturday! Though we lost, its a vergy good sign of things to come. I just hope that the Tigers jell and get healthy asap.
Anybody watching the sat game?
Nood ka ba Clawed?
