00:00Lyceum still has 10 minutes to prove to Sanpeda that they mean business as well.
00:06But as early as now, Prince, we are seeing the fruits of Sanpeda's labor training in the U.S.
00:16and the chemistry and improvement with regards to their skills and physicality showing right now.
00:24Jumel Puno, smiling after getting that lucky bounce for his first field goal in Season 100.
00:32There it is. He's smiling.
00:37Let's see if it will continue.
00:42Punanan. Oh! Tough shot. That was a challenge shot.
00:49And that was the first field goal of LPU team captain, Greg Punanan, Jumel Puno.
01:00Oh!
01:03Punanan thought about the three. Barba swings it.
01:09Pull up J. Does not work.
01:13Balikapola to Sanpeda.
01:18To Hondia!
01:23Did you see the videos that are spreading right now that are saying that...
01:29I just saw this video. Okay, okay. I'm not the one to say this.
01:34Do you remember the iconic layup of Jalen Green?
01:38Okay. They said that it's better than MJ's layup versus Lakers.
01:44Wait, which layup was that? The one Jalen Green did here?
01:47No, no, no. He was in Houston already.
01:49Ah, okay, okay.
01:50So he went up and then boom.
01:53I think that was last year.
01:54So it's like what Hondia did there.
01:56Yes, yes, yes.
01:57Okay, okay. The form. At least the form.
02:03The only problem with him is that he has a form and skills.
02:11They said that if you can't perform...
02:14It's a form.
02:15That's the problem.
02:16If you can't perform, it's a form.
02:19Right?
02:21Well, as long as you can back it up with the solid numbers, you're good.
02:2618.5 rebounds in his NCAA debut.
02:29Numbers don't lie.
02:31Conanan.
02:34Just hit his first field goal moments ago.
02:36Too strong on that.
02:37Heat check.
02:38Yep.
02:42Royo.
02:43Sungkuya to Puno.
02:45Puno back to Sungkuya.
02:48Inside pass to Andrada.
02:51And that's a stop for the Pirates.
02:52They need a whole lot more though.
02:59Guadagna.
03:06All right, let's get an update on court side.
03:08Let's go back to Christine Sanagustin.
03:10When I asked the San Beda Red Lions to describe what their training was in the simplest way possible,
03:16the team easily told me the words,
03:18UBOS, HININGA.
03:19And for a team that holds the current title,
03:21Coach Yuri Escueta reminded them that this should not put them in a place of complacency.
03:26And as a reminder to the Red Lions,
03:28to show their dynamic in the ensayo.
03:31There's no doubt that it's UBOS.
03:33And it's unstoppable.
03:34Their performance is really HININGA.
03:37This is only the beginning of yet another legacy.
03:43And with that description,
03:45that tells you that despite being the defending champions,
03:48the hunger is still there.
03:51And that makes things all the more scary.
03:54Yes, yes.
03:55Again,
03:56the Lions
03:57never settle for less.
04:01In the jungle.
04:02That's right, right?
04:03Because they are the king predators there.
04:06I mean,
04:07they won't be called king of the jungle for nothing.
04:11And they have reclaimed their throne.
04:12And they have reclaimed their throne.
04:15And they are the most winning team.
04:20Because the thing is,
04:22in season 97 and season 98,
04:26they didn't make it to the finals.
04:28And for 14 straight years,
04:30prior to those two straight seasons
04:32that they didn't make the finals,
04:34they were in the finals.
04:35And they won 11 out of those 14 times
04:38that they were in the finals.
04:40So,
04:41the people are used to
04:43the San Pedro really being the king of MCAA.
04:46And it's only last year that they reclaimed that throne,
04:48as James Payosic switches hands in the air
04:52and finishes with the left hand.
04:56James Payosic played a crucial part
04:58of their run for the title last year.
05:02The finals MVP,
05:04James Payosic,
05:05who averaged 12 rebounds per game
05:09in that series
05:12to go along with 9.7 points.
05:22I think Coach Uri is using all of his players.
05:25Earlier, as we said,
05:27as we see this drive by James Payosic,
05:3014 players fielded in.
05:34Still 14 prints.
05:43But I see two players not in their jersey.
05:46Bismarck and there's another guy.
05:54I think they're reserving Bismarck.
05:57Oh no, I think they only have 14.
06:01Right now,
06:0214 that are suited up.
06:04Yes, suited up.
06:06Looking at their bench from where we're sitting.
06:12Speaking of,
06:13shoutout to you, Bismarck.
06:15I see how hard you work every day
06:17to come back to play.
06:19Keep it up.
06:21I hope to see you soon.
06:23I hope to see you soon.
06:24We'll be watching you play.
06:26Can you imagine?
06:27They even have Bismarck in reserve.
06:29Right?
06:31Their players are getting big.
06:33You're going to add a banger under them.
06:37What now?
06:40Sanbera on the run.
06:42Kunanan stops Royo.
06:44Guadagna.
06:45Oh!
06:46Steps on the brakes.
06:49That's what's going on right now.
06:52That's the trend right now.
06:55After that last two steps,
06:56you stop.
06:58And then you hold it as long as possible.
07:00Wait for the opponent to fly by
07:02before you take it.
07:04Andrada.
07:06Payosik.
07:10Payosik.
07:12To Yukin for three.
07:14Yukin!
07:15Andrada.
07:19Do your thing, Yukin!
07:21Do your thing!
07:25Farba.
07:27Royo with the board.
07:35Royo.
07:40To Andrada.
07:42Payosik splits the D.
07:45James Payosik!
07:47Wow!
07:49Kinaliwak!
07:52Kinaliwak!
07:54You know, he was already in the area
07:56and he just decided
07:57to go right or left.
07:58He went left.
07:59To make it look better.
08:05Eight points in the game
08:06for the final MVP.
08:08Baklog Guadagna
08:09trying to put LPU on his back.
08:18Guadagna with 19 points now.
08:22Andrada.
08:25Andrada.
08:26Extra pass.
08:27Kalibag.
08:29The unselfishness
08:32of the Red Lions
08:33on display.
08:35A total team effort.
08:37And this is now
08:38their biggest lead of the game.
08:4075-52.
08:52Solty Cortez.
08:54Payosik.
08:55Wow!
08:56Wow!
08:57Payosik!
09:00Bangaroll
09:01off the nasty crossover.
09:03And then the Bangaroll
09:05over the D.
09:09And there it is.
09:11The final MVP
09:12of the LPU.
09:13Andrada.
09:15Andrada.
09:16Andrada.
09:17Andrada.
09:18Andrada.
09:19Andrada.
09:20The defending champion, San Beto University Red Lions have made a statement, but the LPU fans are not done.
09:27Criss-cross vibes, they all got to the criss-cross.
09:38Opening day energy by the LPU community.
09:42And again, you take a look at that all-star cast, that all-star coaching staff of San Beto.
09:51Alex Angeles, Boyett Fernandez, consultant Norman Black, Jenkins Messina, Trey Santos.
10:00And for a shout-out, the long-time team manager, Jude Roque.
10:05If there's something that hasn't changed in San Beto all throughout the years,
10:09San Beto can go up to third-five in other teams.
10:14Meanwhile, Baklot Guadagna scores.
10:19And he's got 21 points.
10:21Still trying to carry the LPU Pirates.
10:27To get back at this game.
10:30Gonzalez.
10:32Gonzalida!
10:34Joins the starting party.
10:36And that's a foul on JC Gonzalida.
10:56You know, San Beto only has three rookies that are playing at the collegiate level for the first time.
11:04That's JC Gonzalida.
11:07Ismael Coldora.
11:09And Adrian Soliano.
11:12Those are the ones listed on the San Beto roster who are true rookies.
11:18Fresh out of high school.
11:20Or playing for the first time in college from high school.
11:23Because most of them are transferees.
11:27So, no ordinary rookies.
11:30And I think Coach Uri did a great job on those players.
11:33I mean, when you're going to look at them, they all made it.
11:37It doesn't matter if they're strong or not.
11:42They're all capable of playing at the highest level.
11:46And sustaining the lead that they have right now.
12:04Second free throw for Barba.
12:13Guadagna.
12:14With a steal.
12:15Barba!
12:18They have to finish that.
12:20Gonzalez.
12:22To Andrada.
12:26Rare error for the Red Lions.
12:28Rare error for the Red Lions.
12:54Villegas.
12:58Barba.
13:02Ten on the shot clock.
13:05Inside pass to Villegas.
13:11Wild shot by Villegas.
13:20All San Beto has to do now is to bleed the clock.
13:28Ten seconds left on the shot clock.
13:38So, here is the 15th man.
13:41Fielded in by Coach Uri Escueta.
13:44Ismael Coldora.
13:49He is from the UV, University of the Visayas, Baby Green Lancers.
13:58Gonzalez.
14:05Gonzalida.
14:10And Guadagna is fouled.
14:12By the way, this 21 points of Macleod Guadagna Prince is his career high.
14:17Wow.
14:19So a career high performance for Macleod Guadagna on opening day.
14:24Of NCAA Season 100.
14:26He still has 2 minutes and 47 seconds left.
14:30His previous career high and he's hit the career high on several occasions.
14:3420 points.
14:36So now, Macleod is at 22 points.
14:42That's a good start.
14:44I mean, to set the tone for the third season.
14:49Scoring your career high is something that is not easy.
14:54Wait.
14:56That's a career high.
14:58That's the highest.
15:00So that's like a silver lining to this game.
15:04But as they go along, it's going to be a long season.
15:07Other players have to step up.
15:10Again, knowing the players.
15:13We also played.
15:15If you ask any player, would you rather score that much and lose or score a little and win?
15:21Right?
15:23A lot of people choose to score a little and win.
15:26But not everyone can do that.
15:30So Kuya Bonsalida.
15:33Great patience and footwork by JC Bonsalida.
15:45Barba.
15:4713 points in a game for Ato Barba.
15:57You know, last year, Prince, San Beda averaged just 72.6 points per game.
16:04Right now, they have scored 79.
16:07Again, let's go back to what we saw when they warmed up.
16:12What did you feel?
16:14What did you feel when you saw them all warming up?
16:18When they jumped, their hands were crossing the ring.
16:21They were all trying to do a rebound.
16:24They were all trying to dunk.
16:26That's their condition.
16:29It's different.
16:31The opening day aura that San Beda Red Lions showed.
16:35Aura plus 10,000.
16:37And my team manager, Jude Roque, would like to give a shout-out to Mommy Gorse Tardizabal of Rancho Cucamonga, California.
16:48Mommy Gorse took care of the Red Lions when they were doing their U.S. training.
16:54Look at the outcome of taking care of the Red Lions.
16:57Worth it.
17:01As a person who loves to cook,
17:03you know, as a person who loves to cook,
17:06it feels so good.
17:08When you're cooking, or when you're taking selfies,
17:13they enjoy it, and they become successful in life.
17:16It feels so good.
17:22All that's left to be decided here, Prince, is the final score.
17:26But this is a huge opening statement for the defending champions.
17:34Goldora.
17:37And he will have a chance to get on the board here.
17:43I don't think...
17:45Oh, it's two shots.
17:48He just got in here in the fourth quarter.
17:54You know, coming from Cebu,
17:57those guys are fast. They're brave and fast.
18:01So, that's what we're seeing from this lefty,
18:05Myles Goldora.
18:07His real name is Ismael Kim Goldora, but they call him Myles.
18:13What's his name?
18:1550, Myles.
18:17Where are the people who watched Spider-Man?
18:20That's Myles Morales.
18:23Prince Rivero inserting a superhero reference late in the game.
18:28See?
18:31Like you said, maybe Spider-Man is also from Cebu.
18:37You're just guessing.
18:39Because if they have Spider-Man, we have Elastic Man.
18:44Meanwhile, Boranejo...
18:47Oh, he's pulling!
18:52You know, that move is hard to do.
18:56Downhill.
18:58Last two steps, you're gonna stop.
19:01Wait for him to pass.
19:03That's hard.
19:05That's a long practice.
19:09Sophomore, Neil Joshua Boranejo.
19:13He still has a long journey here at NCAA.
19:16He's gonna make it worth it.
19:17He's gonna do it again.
19:29Gonzalida.
19:33Smart, smart.
19:36Nigel Gonzalez who started this game at the point guard spot
19:41remains on the floor.
19:44Goldora, no.
19:48Almost a steal there.
20:00Bapalikapola.
20:02Here at the fans.
20:04What a statement game for San Veda.
20:06Setting the tone for this 100th season of NCAA.
20:12It's their first game and they're already showing that.
20:15How much more if they're already at the end?
20:18Well...
20:20Well...
20:22In my opinion, it's already well-oiled.
20:25And the thing is about the NCAA,
20:28it's 18 games in the elimination round.
20:31It's a long season.
20:33A lot of time to improve, learn, and experiment with your lineups.
20:39And we saw 15 players already from Coach Yuri Escueta.
20:44And there are still some reserve players.
20:46There are still some.
20:48What else do they have that they haven't played yet?
20:52That's what's scary.
20:53That's what's scary.
21:23It will take the opening day win to begin their title defense
21:29here in the centennial year of the National Collegiate Athletic Association of the Philippines.
21:38San Veda.
21:40What a game.
21:42Wins over LTU 79 to 63.
21:53A lot of solid performers from the San Veda side.
