UAAP Season 73 Round 2
UP Fighting Maroons vs UST Growling Tigers
UST wins 68-66
The UP Fighting Maroons led for three quarters but a 4th quarter collapse snapped the losing streak of the UST Growling Tigers. The turnaround started when back-to-back unsportsmanlike fouls were called against Magi Sison and Mark Juruena which gave UST 4 free throws and ball possessions for both infractions thus giving the Tigers a wider cushion in the 4th quarter until Mike Silungan and Alvin Padilla both made 3-point shots to trim the lead to 1, 67-66 but time ran out for the Maroons as UP fouled Jeric Teng with no time left making 1 free throw to make the final score, 68-66.
Another sorry loss for UP with 2 games left, against No. 1 FEU, who lost to La Salle a while ago and UE, who beat Ateneo last thursday. UP had great ball rotation in the 1st 3 quarters as many players scored led by Martin Reyes, Alvin Padilla and Carlo Gomez with 12 pts each and Magi Sison and Mark Juruena both contributing 8 points.
Game Scores:
UST 68 – Teng 17, Mariano 11, Camus 11, Fortuna 10, Bautista 6, Afuang 6, Pe 5, Mamaril 2, Marata 0, Lo 0, Daquioag 0, Aytona 0.
UP 66 – Martin Reyes 12, Padilla 12, Gomez 12, Sison 8, Juruena 8, Mikee Reyes 6, Silungan 5, Hipolito 3, Saret 0, Pascual 0, Maniego 0.
Quarters: 14-14, 26-31, 45-51, 68-66.
UAAP Season 73 Round 2
UP Fighting Maroons vs Adamson Falcons
Adamson wins 74-51
No Mike Silungan (Flu), Alvin Padilla (Suspension), Woody Co (Ankle Injury) and Mark Lopez (ACL Injury), no win for UP as Adamson crushes the Maroons 74-51. The only bright spot for this game was Magi Sison who led UP with 20 points and 17 rebounds.
All players were used as UP was shorthanded for this game scoring only 9pts and 7pts in the 1st and 2nd quarters. UP cut down the lead to 17 in the 3rd quarter with their good defense which led to a couple of steals, but Adamson could not be stopped and is on their way to the Final Four.
Happy Birthday to Moriah Gingerich!
Game scores:
Adamson 74 – Nuyles 14, Cabrera 13, Cañada, 12, Lozada 11, Colina 6, Manyara 4, Camson 4, Etrone 3, Monteclaro 2, Galinato 2, Stinnett 0, Olalia 0, Brondial 0.

Quarter scoring: 22-9, 43-16, 58-35, 74-51.
UAAP Season 73 Round 2
UP Fighting Maroons vs NU Bulldogs
NU wins 61-59
With Woody Co and Mark Lopez both out for the season due to injuries, the Fighting Maroons had a good game, making a big comeback with NU leading by 7 points with 51 seconds left, Alvin Padilla and Mike Silungan both made a three pointer to cut the lead to 1, 60-59 with 21 seconds left in the game but UP still came up short to get their 1st win in the current UAAP Season.
The end game was controversial as Coach Boyet Fernandez (now also Meralco Assistant Coach in the PBA) instructed the team to make an intentional lane violation in order for NU to make a free throw so that they can call a timeout with 1.2 seconds left. The lane violation was called 4 times until the referee decided not to call it anymore and Ponferrada intentionally missing the free throw and game was over.
Although UP did not commit a violation doing this because it is a loop hole in the rules that a lane violation and a miss free throw will result in another free throw no matter how many times it is called. Maybe they should review the rules and put a 3 lane violation technical foul rule but can only be added in the next season that is why UP made a protest after the game.
UP actually had the chance to win the game but 4th year player Dioboy Hipolito missed 2 free throws which could have given the Maroons as 1 point lead.
Game scores:
NU 61 – Mbe 21, Hermosisima 14, Ponferrada 8, Baloran 6, Khobuntin 3, Terso 3, Malanday 3, Ludovice 0, Javelona 0, Ignacio 0, Eriobu 0, Tungcul 0, Singh 0, Magat 0.
UP 59 – Silungan 17, Padilla 13, Sison 8, Ma Reyes 6, Hipolito 6, Juruena 4, Mi Reyes 3, Gomez 2, Saret 0, Pascual 0, Maniego 0.
Quarter scoring: 11-15, 20-28, 44-42, 61-59.
