S75 Game Discussion: ADMU vs DLSU - 07/28/2012 [ADMU won, Final Score 71-61]

[CaRaMBa]

If there's one thing I learned after watching all those ADMU-DLSU games, it's that you can throw out the stats sheet for this one. Players from ADMU and DLSU somehow transcend their abilities when facing each other. Crazier upsets have happened in the past so I think this game should be a humdinger.

All bets are usually off in ADMU-DLSU games. It's the type of game where you sit back or stand up and enjoy the ride.

Absolutely agree! I will never forget that game when La Salle was the one dominating the UAAP, and Ateneo just kept on losing (the 'dark ages' as they call it). During that game, one of the Sison twins EXPLODED with three's. It was CRAZY. Grabe, when we won, feeling namin champion na kami!

[LOLOLOLOL]

I haven't seen Greg Slaughter receiving a hard foul. One option for DLSU is to test the composure of Slaughter by playing him dirty. Give him some hard fouls and let's see if that ruins his game.

take note, baka may mga hindi marunong mag-basketball dito: hard fouls, as in playoff fouls, not dirty hard fouls.

Ay CaRaMBa, is it this game?



I also had this game in mind when I was typing my previous post.

Ganun naman yun lagi, when we win against La Salle, parang champion na.

and vice versa, I guess.

I agree with this one 100% and just hoping for a competitive and entertaining game from both sides. The passion from both sides comes in when the score is nip and tuck.

I honestly didn't watch the youtube so i may be wrong with some details but I distinctly recall these things that stood out when I saw that live in Araneta, not Smart yet:

1. It was Verrayo who lit up the coliseum, not arena yet, as it was called.
2. It's the biggest win, in terms of margin, against Dlsu (and by either team on the other), a feat almost but not quite replicated by Dlsu in another game and season.
3. Halftime was most memorable with the 'jacket switching' routine; doon lang naman sa halftime cheer naka-abuso ang Ateneo lol aside from this game na na-molestiya ang La Salle. Dito rin ata nauso yong bansag na DLRT hehe

peace La Sallians!

ps: also, an afterthought, their present/current coach now was the starting pg for La Salle then. I may be wrong though.

Through the years, just my observation, Dlsu had done well with strong big guys and mediocre guards than the other way around. With the exception of JV (who had a slasher in Yeo, shooter in Ritualo, and good big in Rico but which was the tailend of their 'dynasty'), their formula had always been Limpots, Telans, and Allados (read: big dominating centers), never Pumarens (Dindo), Monasterios, Abanillas, or even a Casio. Oh also, the first to recruit amboys^^ which the other teams followed suit with all the Cameroonians lol. No, Steve Watson doesn't count as a foreigner^^ back in the Ncaa and the jump to Uaap. So enough of the 'mercenary' talks already, ok.

Agree, DLSU was the first to recruit players with foreign blood, and everyone criticized them for it then. Now, everyone is doing it. How times change.

My favorite teams, however, were the teams which had a lot of pretty boys…Mon Jose, Dominic Uy, Cali Orfrecio etc.

Parang Duke-North Carolina lang yan! Walang pakialam ang mga fans sa standings! Its the rivalry that counts!

[arwinalf]

Slaughter has shown his weakness when he is defended roughly (San Sebastian showed this on the finals of PCCL). i guess the only thing for lasalle to do is to play tough defense against him and they have a chance of winning this game.

That's not an option open to La Salle, considering the high FT percentage of Ateneo.

[dashingdevonair]

Statistically, Ateneo would most probably win over La Salle, even by a big margin (I'm guessing 6-8 points). However as the ADMU-UST game showed, the ball is round and the Archers are starving to beat the blue team more than anyone else.

Desperado talaga DLSU, pero may weakness na rin Ateneo as shown vs. UST. Close game siguro ito.

[Objection]

Kawawang Ateneo, naexpose ang weakness nila - "Pag minamalas nga naman"

[Blue Rules]

dlsu 46 (end)
admu 55 (halftime)

anu kamo? isang half ang partida? Sobra naman yan!

[dashingdevonair]

Well I personally don't think the UST game exposed a weakness of Ateneo. It was more of a bad hair day for the Blue Eagles rather than UST exploiting the achilles heel of Ateneo. It's La Salle whose weakneses are already a public secret among teams (bad free throws, unable to do perimeter shots etc)
