UAAP Season 73 1st Round
UP Fighting Maroons vs UST Growling Tigers
UST wins in OT 87-81

The UP Fighting Maroons had a big chance to win its first game this UAAP Season (and first without Coach Aboy Castro) but crucial turnovers and missed free throws extended the game into overtime and eventually the Maroons lost to the Growling Tigers 87-81. Woody Co missed two free throws in the 4th quarter which should have given UP a 3pt lead, with UP leading by a point with 6.2 seconds left in the regulation.

Then in the next sequence a double lane violation was called that resulted in a jump ball situation where Jeric Teng got the ball and was fouled by Mike Silungan (It was just a small bump but the referees still called a crucial foul) with 3.5sec left. Teng missed the first free throw and made the second to send the game into overtime.

Jeric Fortuna of UST had the hot hands with 29pts and 8 out of 10 from three point range including a rare 4-point play from a foul from Magi Sison in OT. It was actually a good game by UP with Interim Coach Potit de Vera calling the shots in the 1st half but in the 2nd half, it was clear that Consultant Boyet Fernandez who was the one making plays during timeouts.

The Fighting Maroons improved offensively specially Magi Sison who top scored for UP with 19 points along with Martin Reyes who was also on fire from three point range also with 19. But it came down to making free throws and taking care of the ball in the last few minutes which UP really needs to improve the next few games.

Mike Silungan, Woody Co, Mark Lopez and Alvin Padilla were the only other players from UP who scored a basket.

UP Fight!

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.
