Controversial loss by UP over NU

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.

Lady Maroons cage Lady Bulldogs
By Merck Maguddayao

The University of the Philippines (UP) Lady Maroons rolled to its tenth win by routing the National University (NU) in clinical fashion, 49-29, in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines women’s basketball elimination round.

The Lady Maroons once more displayed its superiority in the tournament, winning with an average margin of 15 points in their last four games. Back-up playmaker Fille Cainglet played another splendid game with eight points, six rebounds, and four assists while Sihaya Sadorra topscored with 10 points to lead UP.

The game started with the Lady Maroons holding its own on defense, limiting NU’s scoring to only 6 first quarter points with a choking boxing one defense against the Lady Bulldogs shooters.

In the second quarter, the Lady Bulldogs played highly physical defense, forcing the Lady Maroons to score from the foul line. With Jovelyn Mejia and Rejoice Ramos in charge, NU managed to stick within 2 points, 16-14, but UP made a 7-1 run through the playmaking of Cainglet and Andrea Stevens. The Lady Maroons led in the first half, 23-15.

After the halftime break, the Lady Maroons scored 11 unanswered points as Cainglet and Sadorra scored seven and four fastbreak points respectively. The Lady Bulldogs, on the other hand, experienced its worst offensive output in the game with only four third quarter points.

The Lady Maroons bench wound up the last quarter by playing as intense as the starters to keep the Lady Bulldogs at bay. With the lopsided win, the Lady Maroons became the number one defensive squad, limiting their opponents to just 49 points.

UP (49)- Sadorra 10, Cainglet 8, Paz 5, Stevens 5, Luna 4, D. Bautista 4, Robelo 3, Tomelden 3, M. Bautista 2, Binamira 2, Mercado 2, Casino 1, Del Rosario 0, Tolentino 0, Del Mundo 0

NU (29)- Mejia 9, Mandap 9, R. Ramos 5, Letigio 2, Bangal 2, Batnag 1, E. Ramos 1, Santos 0, Alla 0, Cudal 0, Meneses 0

Quarter scores: 10-6, 23-15, 38-19, 49-29
