The UP Fighting Maroons loses its last game in the UAAP Season 72 vs the Adamson Falcons 74-61. UP led most of the first half but a run by Adamson in the third quarter made sure that they will not lose a close game again. In playing his last year in the UAAP, and dedicating this game to his late father, Agapito who died last monday, Arvin had solid game contributing 10 points. 4th year player Woody Co led UP with 13 points and ended as the top scorer for UP this season.

UP ended the season with 3 wins and 11 losses, the same record last year and tied NU for 7th place in the overall standings. But it is without a doubt that the highlight for this season were the wins versus Ateneo and La Salle, giving Ateneo their only defeat this season.

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.

Comeback by UP falls short

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.

UP Fighting Maroons wins its first game in the second round by defeating the NU bulldogs, 78-76 avenging their big loss to NU in 1st round. Miggy Maniego led UP in the 1st half with 15 points and Martin Reyes took over in the second half with 15 of his 17 points.

NU had the chance to send the game into overtime with UP leading by 3 points but UP opted to foul in the dying seconds, not giving NU a chance to make a 3 point shot just like in the overtime loss of UP to UE.

I hope UP continues this and gets back to all teams that defeated them in the first round. UP Fight!

Final Four opener
Tigresses push Lady Maroons on the edge
By Merck Maguddayao

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tigresses burned the hoops of the San Juan Arena to wallop the University of the Philippines (UP) for the first time this season, 69-64, in the opening game of their virtual best-of-three match in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines women’s basketball Final Four today.

Ace Tigress and tournament top scorer Marichu Bacaro exploded for 31 points to lead the Tigresses in the game, which was set as a playoff for the second spot. On the other hand, Lady Maroon star player Sihaya Sadorra chalked in 15 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists to lead UP.

The game started with both teams scorching hot from the three point line in rapid succession. However, the Lady Maroons got the early edge, 17-20, with center Fatima Tolentino scoring six quick points off set plays.

The second quarter opened with the Tigresses converting on perimeter shots courtesy of Bacaro and forward Rem Buenacosa. The Lady Maroons, meanwhile, fought neck and neck, with Kryzza Casino and Diwa Paz converting four acrobatic lay-ups. The Bacaro-Buenacosa duo then sparked a 10-0 run capped by a nearly-botched trey from Tigress shooter Nikki Leonardo. The Tigresses ended the half leading, 38-31.

Coming off the halftime break, Sadorra suddenly charged for six points off dribble drives to keep UP in contention. Buenacosa and center Joan Gregorio retaliated by scoring 4 points each off perimeter shots to lift UST to a double-digit lead, 47-37, halfway through the third quarter. Both teams then traded baskets to end the quarter with the Tigresses leading, 54-46.

In the payoff period, the game shifted to a Sadorra versus Bacaro showdown as the two veterans showcased an array of daredevil drives on the open court. However, Tigress Gail Fermin’s three-point shot extended UST’s lead to nine, 64-55, with 4 minutes left.

The Lady Maroons then replied with a 7-0 run as Sadorra played decoy, issuing assists to Diwa Paz and Jedil Robelo, who converted on open outside shots. Bacaro, however, spoiled UP’s run by converting on a tightly guarded dribble drive to make UST pull away for good.

With their third straight loss, the Lady Maroons are relegated to a do-or-die match against the Tigresses on Saturday, 9 am, at the San Juan Arena, to be followed by the Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws versus Adamson Lady Falcons semifinal match, where the former holding a twice-to-beat advantage.

UST (69) - Bacaro 31, Buenacosa 13, Leonardo 10, Gregorio 8, Fermin 3, Bombeo 2, De Leon 2, Rivera 0

UP (64) – Sadorra 15, Tolentino 11, Paz 10, Robelo 8, Casino 7, D. Bautista 6, Tomelden 4, Del Rosario 2, Stevens 1, M. Bautista 0, Cainglet 0

Quarter scores: 17-20, 38-31, 54-46, 69-64
