UAAP Season 73 1st Round
UP Fighting Maroons vs De La Salle Green Archers
La Salle wins 80-62
A close game in the 1st half turned ugly for the UP Fighting Maroons in the second half as the La Salle Green Archers pulled away in the 3rd and 4th quarters to win in the 1st game of the UAAP Season 73. UP committed 21 turnovers in the game and most of their shots were from the three-point range, only former Rookie of the Year Woody Co who contributed 17 points got inside the paint a couple of times.
Rookie Mike Silungan scored 17 points but committed 6 turnovers in his UAAP debut after two years of waiting for his residency. The Veterans specially Magi Sison and Martin Reyes who are playing in their last year in the UAAP had a subpar performance along with second year players Mikee Reyes, Alvin Padilla and Mark Juruena.
The only bright spot for the game were the other rookies Jett Manuel and Joshua Saret who contributed 5pts and 2pts respectively but showed potential in their limited time in the court. UP also missed 12 free throws (15 of 27) and shot only 31 percent from the field. We hope UP bounces back from this game vs Adamson this Saturday, July 17, 4pm at the Philsports Arena.
Game scores:
DLSU 80 – Atkins 20, Villanueva 13, Marata 10, Webb 9, Andrada 7, de la Paz 6, Vosotros 4, Mendoza 4, Ferdinand 4, Tolentino 3, Reyes 1, Paredes 0.
UP 62 – Silungan 17, Co 17, Sison 8, Ma. Reyes 6, Manuel 5, Saret 2, Padilla 2, Maniego 2, Lopez 2, Mi. Reyes 1, Juruena 0.
Quarter scoring: 19-13, 34-31, 56-47, 80-62.
I agree! most of their shots came from the three point range… they’re not attacking the basket. Woody Co did a great job and he deserves to be the team captain. Mike Silungan played a good basketball as well by his sharp shooting.
Hope to see better shot selections and better defense on sat’s game..Also, they gave up a lot of second chance points against La Salle. I know they can get better! Good luck figting maroons!
what about the womens?
let’s also support the womens and update!
para sa akin masyado maraming dribble ang opensa. maraming tirang pilit kasi kulang sa pasahan. naka zone ang la salle so madali ring maghigpit sa mga dribble penetration. sana mas maganda ang spacing at ball movement vs adamson
sa depensa naman hindi nabantayan ang mga shooters. nahirapan makipaghabulan sa screens kaya libre lagi si atkins at marata. siguro mas mag usap lang at tulungan para walang makakalibre at walang offensive boards
^%#$*$ yan training training pa sa US tangina ala pa ring kwenta! ausin nyo naman! pwe! lagi ganto mga laro ng UP sa una maayos pag dating ng last quarters collapse na ^$%^$, wag mag kanya kanya team play ^&%&%!
