4th quarter collapse gives UST a win over UP

Posted on August 28, 2010 by m_ke2

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.

4 starters out as Adamson defeats UP

Posted on August 27, 2010 by m_ke2

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.

UP 51 – Sison 20, Juruena 7, Ma Reyes 6, Maniego 6, Manuel 5, Mi Reyes 3, Saret 2, Gomez 2, Pascual 0, Evangelista 0, Hipolito 0, Gingerich 0.

Another Bad News for the Maroons

Posted on August 24, 2010 by m_ke2

Although the 2 referees in the UP vs NU game were suspended, Coach Boyet Fernandez was given a warning by Commissioner Ato Badolato for crossing the court after the buzzer but the bad news for the short-handed maroons is Alvin Padilla was slapped with another 1-game suspension for crossing the court and shouting invectives at the referees.

The UP Fighting Maroons next game will be against Adamson this Thursday, and 3 key players (Alvin Padilla, Woody Co and Mark Lopez) will be out as UP is trying to get its 1st win.

Recap of Last Week:
8/13 – Battle of Katipunan Part 2, Ateneo defeats UP and Alvin Padilla committed a technical foul at the end game which causes him to be suspended for 1 game.

8/19 – UP vs La Salle Round 2, DLSU beats UP and Woody Co (Ankle) and Mark Lopez (ACL) got injured in the game and will be out for the season

8/23 – Controversial loss by UP over NU, UP made a comeback but still came back short and UP put this game under protest.

Controversial loss by UP over NU

Posted on August 23, 2010 by m_ke2

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.

La Salle defeats UP, Co/Lopez injured

Posted on August 19, 2010 by m_ke2

UAAP Season 73 Round 2
UP Fighting Maroons vs De La Salle Green Archers
La Salle wins 84-63

Another bad news for the Maroons as Mark Lopez suffered a knee injury (possible ACL) and Woody Co sprained his ankle as La Salle pulled away in the second half to beat UP, 84-63. Alvin Padilla did not play this game as he is serving his one game suspension from incurring 2 unsportsmanlike fouls, the latest against Ateneo.

Let us all pray for Mark Lopez and Woody Co that they did not suffer season ending injuries and I know that with these injuries and another loss, the team is really down, we hope that they can still bounce back in their last 5 games.

Game Scores:

DLSU 84 – Villanueva 14, Tampus 11, Banal 11, Vosotros 10, Atkins 7, Mendoza 6, Dela Paz 5, Tolentinoo 5, Ferdinand 5, Elorde 3, Paredes 2, Webb 2, Andrada 2, Herrera 1, Reyes 0.

UP 63 – Silungan 12, Sison 12, Co 10, Martin Reyes 9, Maniego 6, Hipolito 4, Manuel 3, Mikee Reyes 3, Evangelista 2, Lopez 2, Saret 0, Pascual 0, Juruena 0, Gomez 0, Gingerich 0.

Quarters: 19-16, 37-29, 60-47, 84-63.
