JRU Bombers beats Mapua Cardinals


I expected JRU to win against Mapua during their match last Wednesday but also expected that the Cardinals won't go down easily. The game went down the wire and ended with a score of 60 to 54 favoring the bombers. Etame and Hayes were the heroes for JRU who contributed 17 and 8 points respectively. Out of the 17 points scored by Etame, 15 where made during the second half. 10 of which were during the last quarter.  

Now the bombers faces a tougher challenge of beating the number 2 seat and defending champion San Sebastian Stags. During the elimination rounds, the Stags defeated the Bombers twice with a score of 79-59 during their first match and 64-59 during the second. The bomber would have to face a rested Stags to gain the right to face the number 1 seat San Beda Red lions. But don't count the bomber out just yet. Anything could happen in basketball and it only takes 1 game to go to the finals. 

San Sebastian and JRU faces off today in San Juan Arena at two in the afternoon. The winner of this do-or-die game would face San Beda on October 13. To make things worst for either San Sebastian or JRU, the number one seat San Beda Red Lions enjoy a 1-0 edged against their opponent for completing the 16 games sweep. That means San Beda’s challenger has to win thrice to win the championship while San Beda needs to win only twice. The first game during the finals is very crucial. If San Beda wins that game, they only need to win game 3 on October 15 to take home the crown. Losing that game would somehow even the odds. 


·         * Game 4 is set on Oct 19 while Game 5 will be on Oct 21 if necessary. Venues for all the games of the finals is in Araneta Coliseum in Cubao

Long hard road to the NCAA finals

San Sebastian, Mapua and Jose Rizal Univeristy would have to climb a big wall to win the championship. the On Oct 6, JRU Bombers and the Mapua Cardinals would face to off to earn the right to challenge the number 2 seat and defending champions, San Sebastian Stags. The Bombers defeated the Cardinals twice during the elimination round with a first game score of 78 to 82 and 54 to 86 in the second game.

Whoever wins today they will face the San Sebastian Stags on October 13. Both schools lost all their elimination games against the Stags. Even if either of the schools win against San Sebastian, they have to overcome the odds against San Beda who enjoys a thrice to beat advantage.

San Sebastian is the school with biggest chances to win against San Beda. Though I think it would fair to say that San Beda would go home with the crown this year. Yes anything is possible in basketball but the odds of winning against a thrice to beat advantage is really slim even for the defending champions. Who knows what will happen. This is year of miracles for basketball. La Lakers won despite against the Celtics despite the later having the advantage in the series. We will just have to see.

San Beda makes history in NCAA Basketball

San Beda’s win against defending champion San Sebastian Stags couldn’t be sweeter. San Beda has made history by sweeping all 16 games in the elimination round of NCAA season 86. Yesterday’s match may be a preview of this year’s finals. San Beda is on the top spot with 16 wins while San Sebastian won 13 games and lost the remaining 3 games.

It was a rough game.  Players from both teams were battling aggressively for the rebound or to get the position in the paint. Everyone is hungry for the one and the defense from both teams were not lacking. Sudan Daniel, the foreign exchange student from San Beda was a key to their win with 23 points and 5 blocks while another San Beda player, Garvo Lanete, contributed 23 points as well.

JRU and Mapua would meet on Monday to decide who will challenge San Sebastian on Wednesday. The San Beda is already waiting for the school who would reach the finals. They enjoy a thrice to beat advantage against the challenger. Pretty tall order right?

But don’t count San Sebastian out just yet. They will bank on their championship experience to retain the title. Chances are quite slim but miracles sometimes happens in the game of basketball. San Beda's challenger would have need to double their effort to retain the title. Make that triple since they have to beat San Beda thrice. I have seen teams with unbeaten records during the elimination round and end up losing in the championship. Ateneo lost twice against FEU this year but ended up beating the later twice to take home the championship. Another example is UE. UE never lost a single game during the eliminations. They lost in the finals against La Salle. It all comes down to who wants the championship more.
