00:00 between the Sunbury University Red Lions
00:02 and the Papua University Cardinals.
00:05 (speaking in foreign language)
00:08 The Twitch Hammer, Martin Antonio,
00:10 and on court side, working the Benil side,
00:14 Lizelle Nierves, and over on the LBU side, Deanna Igua.
00:17 - I went back to my notes, Anton.
00:19 It's not from St. Cephara, from CEU,
00:21 (speaking in foreign language)
00:25 are the ones, the (speaking in foreign language)
00:30 Prince Carlos, (speaking in foreign language)
00:32 on the back court, to go with Josh Kahuko.
00:35 (speaking in foreign language)
00:38 With Central School or University,
00:40 (speaking in foreign language)
00:43 For St. Benilde.
00:46 (speaking in foreign language)
00:50 Coming from the Sesafe, and then moving to San Beda,
00:53 and then transferring to his dream school in St. Benilde.
00:55 (speaking in foreign language)
00:59 - Let's get this court side update
01:02 on the LPU side with Deanna Igua.
01:05 - Anton and Coach Hammer with Enoch,
01:06 out of today's game, veteran Vincent Gunanan
01:09 is now at the forefront of the boys
01:12 of head coach and field work, Malabarin.
01:14 Being in charge of the team today,
01:15 (speaking in foreign language)
01:16 that is not just about the win anymore,
01:18 but about cherishing the last moments
01:21 (speaking in foreign language)
01:25 It is more than a competition.
01:26 (speaking in foreign language)
01:28 They are still a force to be reckoned with,
01:30 and they are here to make history,
01:32 even if it is for the battle for third place.
01:34 Anton and Coach Hammer, (speaking in foreign language)
01:36 - (speaking in foreign language)
01:39 It's still something that you can be proud of
01:42 every time you can put your name,
01:45 and your school's name, in the history book.
01:47 (speaking in foreign language)
01:50 And it does a lot of things for you.
01:54 Does a lot of things.
01:55 - Oh.
01:58 - For Saure.
01:59 - A guy who, on the very last day,
02:04 wants us to mention his name, Saure.
02:07 CJ Saure.
02:09 (speaking in foreign language)
02:12 - Chance for the guys to earn minutes moving forward.
02:16 (speaking in foreign language)
02:20 (speaking in foreign language)
02:24 - Man, this is something we hate to see.
02:48 (dramatic music)
02:51 - Holding onto his left knee right away,
02:56 as soon as he went down.
02:59 So hopefully this is nothing serious,
03:05 as we see their fist show.
03:09 (horn honking)
03:13 And the thing is, when we were already covering him,
03:16 the juniors, he did have a knee issue as well.
03:19 - So hopefully this is nothing serious.
03:25 And we'll need to get an update with PB Irvin.
03:29 (speaking in foreign language)
03:31 Right there, wearing the black gloves.
03:33 - Prayers up for Jericho Halalot.
03:44 Halalot, along with SJ Boer,
03:47 were the star players of the Arellano Braves.
03:50 - Yep, last season.
03:51 Then a lot of new heroes this second semester,
03:55 we'll see in the juniors.
03:57 Could be climbing up the rankings.
04:01 - 24 all.
04:08 Our official tally.
04:10 Sanko launches.
04:14 (dramatic music)
04:16 Way short on that shot.
04:17 Cross court pass.
04:18 Ball that went here to Peña Fiel.
04:21 Versoza, baseline spin.
04:23 - Travel.
04:24 Oh, stepping on that sideline.
04:27 And as we see Will entering the ballgame.
04:29 - There we go.
04:30 The final NCAA game of last season's MVP, Will Kozum.
04:35 And we joked earlier that he was gonna go for 60.
04:42 (laughing)
04:43 - Let's see.
04:44 (speaking in foreign language)
04:46 - He's still the MVP, okay?
04:48 Will Kozum is still the MVP
04:50 until the next MVP gets awarded.
04:53 And we all know who that will be.
04:56 Will Kozum.
04:56 Obviously still a little bit cold.
04:59 Peña Fiel all the way.
05:11 - Rich Carlos coming in.
05:12 So you have the three graduating guys
05:17 in Naibe Carlos and Kozum.
05:19 (speaking in foreign language)
05:22 Coach Charles was telling me last night
05:24 he is going to suit up talking about Will.
05:29 But it's just a question of whether he would field in Will
05:32 in this game or not.
05:34 - They taught him.
05:35 (laughing)
05:37 (speaking in foreign language)
05:41 - I remember in one of our media games,
05:48 Coach Charles had a triple double.
05:50 - Yup.
05:51 - It might have been a 30 point triple double too.
05:56 (speaking in foreign language)
05:59 - Good transition basket again by LPU.
06:06 Hey, LPU, full court defense.
06:09 (speaking in foreign language)
06:12 Mark Sanco, baseline drive, maneuvering his way
06:15 to the basket.
06:17 (speaking in foreign language)
06:18 All right, let's get this update with Lizelle Nervis.
06:22 - Thank you, Anton.
06:22 From ending their 20 year drought
06:24 with consecutive Final Four appearances,
06:27 first finals appearance last season since 2002,
06:29 produce an MVP title with Will Kozum,
06:32 and finally the first ever battle for third today.
06:35 (speaking in foreign language)
06:39 According to Miguel Cortez,
06:43 from having five to 10 supporters during his rookie year
06:45 to the whole Benildjan community in his last,
06:48 they were able to change the culture
06:49 and made the team a contender in the league once again.
06:52 In stealing a winning culture full of passion
06:54 and school spirit with what's to come for these players,
06:56 it is certain that the NCAA is indeed the birthplace
06:59 of the future stars of Philippine basketball.
07:01 (speaking in foreign language)
07:05 - That's good news.
07:18 A sigh of relief to hear that Jericho is okay.
07:22 Benild is on top after a triple from the corner
07:26 by Will Kozum.

08:01 - It's 9.35 here in the morning
08:13 at the Malavija Arena.
08:14 Big, big day for NCAA basketball.
08:18 And a lot of bright smiles here
08:26 from the ladies checking out this battle
08:30 for third matchup between Benild and LPU.
08:34 The question as to whether Will Kozum would be fielded in
08:37 finally answered as he's on the floor right now
08:40 along with fellow graduating players Carlos and Naive
08:45 and even Ladis Nepalam is in and out of the reserve list
08:50 and regular lineup this season.
08:53 (speaking in foreign language)
08:57 - He had a number of games where he would provide offense
09:01 and intensity defensively to their opponent.
09:05 And he was in and out of the reserve.
09:07 (speaking in foreign language)
09:10 But as we saw how season 99 unfolded,
09:15 a lot of teams are playing with a very small lineup.
09:18 Versoza.

09:47 (upbeat music)
09:49 - They are going to take the win.
10:04 - That's what you need to do.
10:06 Because it's the last game of this season if you lose.
10:10 So you have to assure yourself that you need to
10:12 put in the work.
10:15 - Awesome, throws the ball out to Carlos.
10:17 Carlos with the floater.
10:18 Prince Carlos comes up with the board.
10:21 (speaking in foreign language)
10:26 Triple on the way.
10:37 Versoza look at him work the glass.
10:40 (speaking in foreign language)
10:45 But I trust Coach Gilbert to develop this guy.
10:49 He's around 6'2, 6'3.
10:51 (speaking in foreign language)
10:55 - Julian Kulanay, three.
11:02 - Wow.
11:04 - Julian Kulanay.
11:08 Able to knock down a triple to the delight of his teammates.
11:13 Four rookies on this LPU team.
11:16 Josh Moralejo, CJ Saure, JM Versoza,
11:20 and of course, Nat Fuentes.
11:22 (speaking in foreign language)
11:41 - Inability to stay on the court due to fouls.
11:43 (speaking in foreign language)
11:47 - But again, we're talking about the younger players.
12:05 (speaking in foreign language)
12:07 We see a lot of players.
12:08 (speaking in foreign language)
12:12 It's a testimony of how programs are built in the NCAA.
12:34 (speaking in foreign language)
12:37 - Unable to secure the top talents.
12:40 Even though Clint went on a U-turn.
12:43 (speaking in foreign language)
12:45 But still, the core of the team.
12:46 (speaking in foreign language)
12:50 - LPU calls for time.
12:51 They are on top by four.
