two Tigers; de Guzman at right
Ateneo sweeps first round 12 -0 as it beats UST Growling Tigers, 102 -83
I often watch the games of NCAA and UAAP because they look like real basketball to me. The PBA is a mere intramurals of the theme to the MVP group (well except may be Ginebra) Sana alisin ang mga imports.
There are also imports at NCAA and UAAP but maybe limited to one at any time.
I watched the LPU San Beda game and wow, the level of play is way way higher than the NCAA of yore and even when the series started this year LPU Pirates certainly did great and their school should remember their great performance this year. You should have watched the SSC- R, Letran, and SSC -R game. You should have marvelled at the tough defense, steals, 3 point shot and attacks at the painted area by the Golden Stags. If they did not get to championship, they just lost to really really champion teams. But next year watch out for them
And so with the Ateneo Eagles UST Growling Tigers match today. It could have been an upset with the brilliant performance of Oliver de Guzman. It became a 4 point game at one point.
UST played as if it were a championship game. Brilliant passes. And attacks. Treys. Their import played well too. UST Growling Tigers should be proud of what they did today. The breaks went against them: too many turn overs, travelling calls going against them.
Most memorable was the slam dunk of Ravena - a hammer dunk.
May be the Jesuits are closer to God than OPs (Hehe that is an old joke)
