UP Fighting Maroons vs. FEU Tamaraws
FEU wins 86-74

The FEU tamaraws started strong beating the UP Fighting Maroons 86-74. The lead ballooned to 22 points at the start of the 4th quarter but UP cut the lead to 9 with 2 minutes left but just like the game vs UST, they ran out of time catching up.

Rookie Mikee Reyes who was hot the last game vs La Salle was a non-factor scoring just 2 points. Woody Co led UP with 24 points and another good game by Mark Lopez contributing 16 points. Alvin Padilla who played despite having a 3rd degree sprain a week ago had 14 points and a season high 6 steals.

UP Fighting Maroons vs La Salle Green Archers

Best Players of the Game:
Mikee Reyes – 25points, 5rebounds, 6assists ; 4/7 from 3point range, 6/11 from 2point range
Mark Lopez – 11points, 9rebounds, 2assists, 2steals, 2blocks ; 5/10 from the 2point range

Great all-around game by the Rookie Mikee Reyes, playing like a veteran with his shooting, although he had 6 turnovers in this game, he will still improve on this in the coming games and seasons. What I observed about this team is how they encouraged each other even after a turnover, they don’t blame each other for the miscues and losses. Great coaching and motivation by Coach Aboy Castro and his coaching staff.

Mark Lopez can play both offense and defense well, he is athletic and willing to bang bodies while driving to the hoop. I am sure these two will be marked in their next games but other players may step up like Miggy Maniego in the NU game or Alvin Padilla in the UST game or Martin Reyes which was 0/5 in this game but will surely bounce back. We are still awaiting big games from rookies Mark Juruena (who was MVP in the Juniors last year) and Carlo Gomez (who cannot get into his usual double-double the past few games, like in the first round.

The UP Fighting Maroons gets back at De La Salle Green Archers, beating them 83-78 led by Rookie Mikee Reyes with 25 points (who played for La Salle Greenhills in High School) and some key baskets from Mark Lopez, who scored 8 of his 11 points in the 4th quarter. UP last beat DLSU in 2005. Big win by UP, they now have beaten Ateneo and La Salle this season.

UAAP Season 72

UP Fighting Maroons vs. UST Growling Tigers
UST wins 93-88
Aug 20, 2009, 2pm
Araneta Coliseum

With hot shooting UST having a 31 point lead in the third quarter, the UP Fighting Maroons almost made a comeback cutting the deficit to 5 with 8 seconds left in the game, but time was not on their side as UP loses to the Growling Tigers, 93-88. Leading UP were rookie Alvin Padilla scoring 21 points and former Rookie of the Year Woody Co contributing 24 points.

Although UP lost this game, we can see that the future is bright for the UP Fighting Maroons, specially the play of Alvin Padilla, who by the way is ineligible for the Rookie of the Year honors because he is not a freshman but a transferee from San Beda. With the entry of Mike Silungan in UAAP Season 73, I think Padilla and Silungan will be a formidable combination for the fighting maroons next year.

Box Score

UST 93 – Ababou 23, Bautista 17, Fortuna 14, Teng 13, Mirza 13, Camus 8, Maliksi 3, Afuang 2, Ungria 0, Green 0, Cam 0, Aytona 0.

UP 88 – Co 24, Padilla 21, Lopez 18, Mikee Reyes 5, Sison 4, De Asis 4, Gomez 3, Gamboa 3, Martin Reyes 2, Gingerich 2, Braganza 2, Maniego 0, Hipolito 0, Juruena 0, Astorga 0.
