Last game will be this Saturday, 2pm vs UE, as UP avoids another 0-14 season in the UAAP which they also had in 2007, let us all support our team in their last game. And this will also be the last game of Martin Reyes, Magi Sison and Woody Co (who is rumored to play in their last game against UE). UP Fight!

4 starters out as Adamson defeats UP

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.

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.

La Salle defeats UP, Co/Lopez injured

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.
