00:00CAA Philippines, this is the matchup between the LPU Pirates and the JRU Heavy Bombers.
00:06We're heading to the second quarter of this game.
00:09You guys have Martin Oviera alongside Prince Carlos for this coverage.
00:13Prince, you mentioned before we went to the break, high scoring affair, right?
00:20We have to commend the shooting of both teams.
00:23Let me just show you.
00:34Wow, their shooting is really good.
00:36But let's think about it, the defense might be lacking.
00:39That's why they were able to make that many shots.
00:41But let's see if the game will slow down in the second quarter.
00:45It's our first quarter, running, and both teams were making shots.
00:51You're right, we'll see.
00:52If they're a bit tired from their game earlier, if they'll settle down here.
00:58Atobarba, again providing instant offense.
01:02Came off the bench today, coming off his career high.
01:05Eight points already.
01:06Now nine, has a chance to reach double figures.
01:12But you have to take note, Martin, it's only the first quarter, JRU had seven turnovers.
01:17That's very crucial.
01:19And that created more opportunities for LPU, because as efficient as JRU is offensively,
01:27they allowed eight more shots for LPU in that first quarter.
01:33So they got a less in that, for sure.
01:43Couldn't handle the pass.
01:45Yeah, they need to be more composed, especially when LPU is applying pressure, full-court press.
01:50So yeah, they need to be able to break that press.
01:54Atobarba, he's asking for it, he didn't give it.
01:56Instead, they'll go to Ta'ileg.
01:59Ta'ileg, connects on the jumper.
02:06So, four straight points for LPU to begin the second frame to tie the game.
02:14We've had a lot of deadlocks.
02:16Five deadlocks already.
02:19And we still have nine minutes here in the second frame.
02:24Samuntanes, pass is picked off.
02:28Oh, good touch pass.
02:30Medina, showing us the athleticism.
02:35Athletic move for Medina.
02:41We have a foul away from the ball.
02:43This gives us an opportunity to turn it over courtside.
02:47We have the second quarter report of Bianca Alejandre.
02:50Bianca, go ahead.
02:52Probing deeper into the ballgame, they say that in this sport,
02:55there's only one thing you can control, and it is how hard you play.
02:59I'm sure JRU's team captain, Joshua Guillob, would agree.
03:13That they are working on discipline in defense, and his mindset as a captain
03:17is to move their team forward and bounce back from facing a lost cause
03:21in their last performance.
03:22So, with two fighters locked on the target, two strategies in play.
03:26It is not a question of who wants it more, but of who executes better.
03:30Take it away, Martin and Prince.
03:32These are two leaders, perfect leaders for both teams.
03:36As Medina, again, continues with his scoring ways.
03:41Guillob has a huge role now, because he's a veteran now here.
03:44So, his team really needs to gain confidence from Guillob.
03:51Here's Taileg's jumper on the other side.
03:55Again, it is Jonathan Medina.
04:01For the reverse, yeah.
04:02And then, he attacked the basket here.
04:04But you're right.
04:05And what I like about Joshua Guillob,
04:08okay, he can score for JRU.
04:10He can make things happen.
04:12But when he sees that his teammates are actually on a run or are feeling it,
04:21he is just doing what is needed inside the court from him.
04:24He would focus on his role and recognize his teammates.
04:28That's all.
04:30That's a foul for Aviles.
04:33Genesis Aviles called for the offensive foul.
04:35On the other side, this is Greg Cunanan, as we see.
04:40He gets hustled by Vince Armiento.
04:43Follow-up is good.
04:46Greg Cunanan, of course, learning from the leaders of LPU in the previous seasons.
04:52I like this guy, Cunanan.
04:55Real definition of a point guard.
04:57He's a leader, he's good at facilitating inside the court.
05:00And he's really selfless.
05:01He really prioritizes his teammates.
05:04And that's what you want from a point and a captain.
05:10Here comes the LPU, forcing another turnover.
05:14But here, it went to Barba.
05:15Guadagna from the corner.
05:17Guadagna knocks it down.
05:21I think that's his second one.
05:23Second attempt, yeah.
05:26And second make as well.
05:28For McLeod from the outside.
05:30If Guadagna is getting hot like that, JRU needs to adjust.
05:34JRU really needs to stick together.
05:38Good seal again for Guillaume.
05:40Inside, Joshua Guillaume, nailing the short stab.
05:43Big man move.
05:46Steady as ever.
05:48Nine points already for Joshua.
05:50On the other side, there's Ato Barba.
05:54Smart play there for Barba, sealing the foul.
05:58Look at the throw.
06:00Good recognition for Barba.
06:03And on the other side, Guadagna.
06:06Too deep.
06:06A little back, a little Cico.
06:10That's part of it, yeah.
06:11That's part of it.
06:14What's that? Majority.
06:17Veteran move.
06:18That's what you call a veteran move.
06:19Veteran move, yeah.
06:21Patrick Ramos is back inside.
06:27After an extended rest.
06:29McLeod!
06:30Guadagna!
06:31Gets away!
06:33Back-to-back, boys, for Guadagna.
06:37Strong right, Guadagna.
06:40Medina.
06:41Ramos cutting.
06:42Good pass.
06:43Back to Medina inside.
06:46Against the tall trees, Armiento gets the whistle.
06:49They have a lot of second chance efforts from JRU.
06:56This is what happened earlier.
06:58It was McLeod-Guadagna blowing by Pangilinan.
07:02Taking it straight to the cup.
07:04When it's like that, it all comes to player tendencies.
07:06Yeah.
07:07If strong right, strong left.
07:08If your opponent is strong right, you have to send him left.
07:14Panelo checks in for the first time for the LPU, replacing Aviles.
07:19This is another fresh body off the bench for Coach Gilbert Malabanan.
07:29Good serve by Armiento.
07:31That's the difference between JRU and LPU.
07:35LPU forces a lot of turnovers.
07:38JRU is a very good hustling team.
07:42Yeah.
07:42Right?
07:43Rebounding is what gives them more chances.
07:47Again, on...
07:48Wow!
07:49Driving, going to his right, but just missed it.
07:52Good try, good try.
07:53But there's a fan who called.
07:56Yeah, McLeod is starting to get aggressive.
08:01In the meantime, let's go to this timeout.
08:03It's JRU ahead by fours.
08:16Almost a steal.
08:17Actually, he completes the steal.
08:18Paeng-are!
08:20Bumiting, JRU!
08:21Paeng-are!
08:23Wow!
08:23And one, and one.
08:26I still have a good chance!
08:29Deflection here by Paeng-are.
08:32Good condition, caught up.
08:35He caught up nothing.
08:36It was a hang time.
08:38It was a long time in the air.
08:39He waited in the ground first.
08:42And he had a teammate, Paul.
08:46And a serve has entered.
08:49It was a direct hit.
08:50A pity.
08:51He could have had a content, Paeng-are!
08:53Wow!
08:53over the outstretched arms of Kevin.
08:57Welcome back to our coverage.
09:01And see Season 100 on GTV
09:05and on Heart of Asia.
09:10Oh, JL De Los Santos in the house.
09:12Oh, it's JL!
09:13Yeah.
09:13I didn't recognize you, you're clean.
09:16JL De Los Santos, former point guard of the JRU Heavy Bombers.
09:21You know, I talked to Sidney Mosqueda,
09:23who could be their go-to guy since they lost Ajan Miranda,
09:27JL De Los Santos.
09:28He told me that anyone could step up
09:30because their system is really built for everyone.
09:32Oh.
09:34So, collective effort.
09:36And here on the other side, this is
09:38JM Bravo.
09:39It's good to see him
09:41in the sidelines here, watching his team.
09:43He's next to him, a former Heavy Bomber.
09:45Yeah, former Heavy Bomber.
09:46William C.
09:48Yeah.
09:50Of course, made the transfer to LPU
09:52in the offseason.
09:54Aggressive move for Guadagna.
09:56How do you like the aggression of Guadagna here in the second frame?
10:00Earlier, it was 2-3.
10:01Now, he's driving.
10:03It's just a balance.
10:04You can see his defender, he's closing out.
10:07So, he has to drive.
10:10The question on top of the quarter
10:12was if these teams can actually maintain the pace
10:16and maintain the efficiency from the field.
10:19And so far, in the first three and a half minutes,
10:22the answer is yes.
10:23Yeah, the answer is yes.
10:26It's still going on.
10:27It's still going on. It's not tiring anymore.
10:29And
10:30Guadagna knocking down two free throws.
10:33He's always been solid from the free throw line.
10:36And if you play like this, Prince,
10:39you need a deep bench and a deep line-up.
10:41Yes.
10:42Of course, you need a deep bench
10:43because of course, you get tired and you get tired.
10:47But we can't see how tired Jonathan Medina is
10:51creating his own shot that time.
10:54It's hard to stop Medina once he's already moved.
11:00Again, this is what they missed in the first two games.
11:04Medina has been used sparingly.
11:06Yeah, yeah.
11:07As if he's going to score, and that's the end of the second quarter.
11:09That's how it is.
11:10Now, he's given an opportunity by Coach Luis Gonzalez.
11:14I think he's got 14 points right now.
11:16Yeah, 14 already.
11:18That's why I was surprised in the last game.
11:20He didn't play much, just 4 minutes.
11:23This is Medina, Sarmiento, and Guilla.
11:28They took the championship in the 3x3 basketball
11:32in season 99.
11:33That's when we saw that Medina was ready to take over
11:38because he was the main guy of that tournament for JRU.
11:41It's so possible that they used that as their momentum,
11:44as their springboard for this season.
11:48On the other hand, a foul away from the ball.
11:50Panelo is down.
11:54Both teams in the penalty already,
11:56so that's not a good foul for JRU.
12:01These are freebies coming up.
12:03You know, if you guys, if you want your opponent to commit a foul,
12:07what the coaches always tell us,
12:10to seal.
12:11Because the opponent has a tendency to fight the screen.
12:14Yeah, yeah.
12:15That they might also foul the bigs that are sealing.
12:17It will be over-aggressive.
12:18Over-aggressive, yeah.
12:21So, Panelo now will step into the free-throw line.
12:24Earlier, our pace was fast when the ball was live.
12:28But now, the game has a chance to slow down.
12:30Because of the fouls.
12:31Because this will be a free-throw shooting contest,
12:34we still have under 6 minutes to go
12:37and both teams are already in the penalty.
12:39Yeah, it's still early for the penalty.
12:44It shows you the aggression being shown by both teams here.
12:48Yeah, they need to play smart now.
12:51In and out for Panelo.
12:52Another one.
12:54But Montaño got it bad.
12:56Two free-throws coming up here for Montaño.
13:00They'll take these chances from the free-throw line.
13:04That time, Montaño out-hustling.
13:07The JRU bigs.
13:09Renz Bernardo coming in.
13:13Another new face for JRU.
13:16This is Renz Bernardo who was initially in the reserve list.
13:23Well, maybe he showed good practices.
13:26That's why Coach Louie gave him an opportunity.
13:29And that's what's good about Coach Louie.
13:30He trusts his players.
13:32He gives everyone an opportunity.
13:35It's very fluid when it comes to the lineup.
13:38Straightaway three.
13:39Off the front rim.
13:40Not this time.
13:42First miss from the outside for McLeod.
13:45Bernardo.
13:47Didn't see Sarmiento there.
13:48He was open.
13:50Ramos.
13:51Bernardo here on top.
13:55He fakes it.
13:58To Ramos, there you go.
14:00Sarmiento.
14:02Short with the left.
14:03One more time.
14:04Another offensive rebound for JRU.
14:07LPU needs to find a way to box them out.
14:10And in that sequence, it was just one guy who did it.
14:15Vince Sarmiento.
14:17Left it short initially, but he got the ball back.
14:24Vince Sarmiento to the free-throw line.
14:27This guy already has six rebounds here in the first half.
14:31Three offensive.
14:34It really shows how aggressive Sarmiento is and how he really wants this game.
14:41And Sarmiento connects from the line.
14:46Two for two.
14:48So, 45-41.
14:51JRU is now in the zone.
14:53They switched up their defense.
14:55One-two-two zone defense.
14:57Let's see how LPU will break this.
15:00Yeah, they steal it away.
15:05Oh, it stays with the heavy bombers.
15:09But good half-court defense in the previous possession for JRU.
15:15Luis Gonzalez will call this timeout.
15:18He will draw something up.
15:19This is the moment.
15:21Sa puso mo.
15:23The sky is the limit.
15:25Harap na.
15:26For pressure, which kilala-kilala talaga tong team na to dyan sa ganyang defensa.
15:31Brian Zahonya.
15:33His first shot.
15:35As a son better red lion in the NCAA.
15:38The best shooting three-point team in the NCAA.
15:43Zahonya.
15:45Baseline drive.
15:46Zahonya.
15:47Short.
15:48Zahonya.
15:51Wow.
15:59Still in the first half.
16:02And in the second quarter of this game.
16:04With 5-0-6 remaining between JRU and LPU.
16:07Attorney Bobby Laurel.
16:09President of NCAA Season 100 policy board.
16:14And also the president of the Lyceum of the Philippines University.
16:19Attorney Bobby was also in attendance in our opening ceremony.
16:24And he was actually the one who declared the opening of the game.
16:29So good to see him here along with the Laurels.
16:33Who are all there right behind the LPU bench.
16:36In the meantime, almost halfway done here in the second frame.
16:41It's a high-scoring game between JRU and LPU.
16:45JRU and LPU.
16:46LPU is also in the zone.
16:49Yes.
16:51Hounding V up there.
16:53An idol from the court.
16:55An idol knocks it down.
16:57When you play zone, that's where the three-point shots are really risky.
17:03And that's why he was activated.
17:06From the reserve list.
17:08He has a lot to get back.
17:10He's really strong.
17:11And don't look now.
17:12It's a seven-point lead for JRU.
17:14And a chance to add on to it.
17:18Medina.
17:20Yes.
17:22Good drive for Medina.
17:24Using that floater.
17:2617 points for Jonathan Medina.
17:29And he gives JRU their biggest lead.
17:34LPU needs a counter.
17:38Cross-court pass.
17:39Catch and shoot for Cunanan.
17:41There you go.
17:42From the outside.
17:45That's his shot right there.
17:46When you leave him wide open, he's going to make that.
17:51That's a much-needed three for LPU.
17:57Two free throws.
17:59Let's see.
18:00Bernardo from the corner.
18:04Jonathan Medina fearless in this game.
18:09Getting to the paint again.
18:14Cunanan nailing the three-point shot.
18:17Which changed baskets in that stretch.
18:21You know, I talked to McLeod Guadagna.
18:23And he told me that they're struggling a bit in training.
18:27Because they're not really used to starting 0-2 in the season.
18:31So this is their new experience.
18:33That they're 0-2.
18:35But of course, as a leader, as a veteran for Guadagna.
18:38He just kept telling his teammates that they need to not be affected by their start.
18:43And they need to bounce back this game.
18:45Because LPU, at least for the past two seasons,
18:48They're fast-starts.
18:50They're able to get ahead in the first round.
18:53And they maintain that in the second round.
18:55Last season, it was actually a high finish for them.
18:59They finished number two in the team standings.
19:02They were 13-5.
19:04But you guys beat them in the bronze game.
19:09And they lost to BEDA twice.
19:12So I feel like it's a redemption season for them.
19:16Medina hit one earlier.
19:18And he hits again!
19:2020 points for Jonathan Medina!
19:2420 points first half.
19:26He can score inside the paint.
19:28And he just showed us that he can score outside the three-point line.
19:33Wow, so 11 of those 20 points coming in the second quarter.
19:39Naklud throws it away.
19:41Here comes Medina.
19:43Man of the quarter for JRU.
19:45Bernardo is not letting go.
19:47But he recovers.
19:49It's Ramos.
19:50Good move for Ramos.
19:51Not hurry up.
19:53He slows it down.
19:55Medina.
19:587 to work with.
20:00They need to take it.
20:024 to shoot.
20:03Panapanan!
20:05Guillaume!
20:06Another one for Joshua Guillaume!
20:09And JRU stretches the lead to 12.
20:12Another offensive rebound for JRU.
20:17Heavy bombers here.
20:19Threatening to break away here in the second frame.
20:22They've outscored LPU 24 to 16.
20:25Offense for the Pirates.
20:27Good recognition for Barba.
20:29Slowdown here.
20:31Good decision.
20:32Good decision.
20:34Patrick Ramos on him.
20:37Torres and Medina though.
20:39How about this guy?
20:40He's got confidence.
20:42My goodness.
20:44He's set the triple off the game.
20:46Another over.
20:49Flexed on him.
20:5256-44.
20:59What a scoring here.
21:01JRU is pulling away now.
21:06Again, they maintain the shooting.
21:08They're still shooting.
21:1073% from the field.
21:1219 out of 26.
21:14Only 7 misses so far.
21:17Best shooting performance, I think, by my witness.
21:2273%.
21:24Percentage-wise.
21:27This is incomplete contrast.
21:30Of their previous games.
21:32Especially their second half.
21:34They're really going all out.
21:38But that's it, Martin.
21:40We're still in the first half.
21:42Let's see if they can be consistent and maintain that.
21:452.5 to go.
21:48Good floppy action.
21:50Ahente, face of three.
21:52A bit lush.
21:54But he got it again.
21:56First 14.
21:58It's down to 10.
22:00Panapanan.
22:03Ramos with four.
22:05Panapanan.
22:07Guillaume.
22:09Yes!
22:11This is what I love about JRU.
22:13Their system is very patient.
22:15And they don't really rush things.
22:17They make sure that they get the best option.
22:2113 points for Joshua Guillaume.
22:23Barba inside.
22:25Barba scores.
22:27Allowing LPU to break out of that dry spell.
22:34But they need stop-stalking by LPU.
22:36Patrick Ramos adds on to his total.
22:39Guillaume's doing everything right now.
22:41Offensive, rebound, points, assist.
22:43He's doing everything.
22:45JRU has 60 points in the first half.
22:49Wow.
22:51Wow, this game.
22:53And we're just playing 10-minute quarters.
22:54Panapanan.
22:56This was a follow-up earlier by Joshua Guillaume.
22:59Offensive, rebound, put-back.
23:02Barba.
23:04Ato Barba.
23:06Trying to will his team.
23:08Back to this one.
23:10Patrick Ramos gives it to them.
23:14Mosqueda's in.
23:16Your former teammate.
23:18Here we go.
23:20Of course, Mosqueda played briefly for LPU.
23:22Of course, Mosqueda played briefly for Benil
23:25before transferring to JRU.
23:27Montaño misses.
23:29Cunanan gets the rebound.
23:32Snatches it away and somehow
23:34was able to throw it up in the air.
23:37I love the activity of Cunanan there.
23:40Smallest guy, but he was able to get the ball.
23:44It's hot in here.
23:46It's just the beginning. It's still smoking.
23:48Final minute.
23:52Mosqueda.
23:54Ariente had a look.
23:56Good play there.
23:58Elevator screen, making Ariente open.
24:01He just missed it, but it was a good play.
24:04Look at this. Greg Cunanan.
24:06You know.
24:08He was able to get it.
24:10What's your height?
24:15Against the trees of JRU.
24:18But LPU has a chance.
24:19LPU will lower the lead
24:21before we finish here in the first half.
24:25The goal for LPU probably is
24:28to trim it to a single-digit lead.
24:36Challenge in JRU.
24:39Initial call was LPU basketball.
24:43Let's see if our officials will reverse it.
24:50It's not good in the NCAE.
24:54But we can do it.
24:56It's available.
24:59Our officials.
25:01JRU had the case.
25:03But they had the case.
25:06Because from that angle,
25:09it's like Montaño.
25:14Okay, so we'll see.
25:15So we'll see.
25:17And our officials are maximizing
25:20the replay system.
25:27Oh, okay, so
25:29the call sticks.
25:37So unsuccessful challenge.
25:46LPU will have it.
25:48JRU is still 1-2.
25:50Well, it's working.
25:51So why change it?
25:54LPU's offense will stop here.
25:57LPU had a hard time getting in.
26:00And that's always been the Achilles' heel of LPU.
26:04Their half-court offense.
26:06Let's see how they will execute
26:08Montaño from mid-range.
26:12He said Achilles' heel.
26:13Achilles' heel.
26:15We have scorers here.
26:17Oh, Unanan's cornered.
26:21The corner's open.
26:23Barrera.
26:25Rims out.
26:27Mosqueda, look at the hustle.
26:29Good hustle for Sidney Mosqueda.
26:32There's Barrera.
26:34JRU retrieves it.
26:36Foul.
26:38Penalty.
26:40Gotta play it smart.
26:41Unanan had a good intention.
26:44But it was too much.
26:46Too much.
26:48Sidney Mosqueda was able to reach it.
26:51Montaño scores right there.
26:54Penalty situation.
26:56Two free throws here for Sidney Mosqueda.
26:59Mosqueda on the line.
27:04This guy has been part of winning programs.
27:07From high school, right?
27:09LSDH.
27:10Was he part of the championship?
27:12Yes, that's why he has a championship experience.
27:15They have Makoy.
27:17Makoy Margo.
27:19And JT.
27:22Mosqueda nailing the first.
27:31Two free throws.
27:37Flashdown now for LTE.
27:39Ferrer is going in for JRU.
27:42March De Leon will replace him.
27:44Ken Kaguya still inside for the Pirates.
27:47This is the younger brother of Reymar Kaguya.
27:50Former LPU Pirate.
27:52Atobarba.
27:54Shows us the finger roll.
27:56The belay.
28:00Atobarba.
28:04With 15 points.
28:06Look at this move.
28:08Crazy crossover.
28:10With a little bit of sauce there.
28:12Wow.
28:14What an end.
28:16That's exactly what LPU needed to end the first half.
28:18But after two quarters, it's still the JRU Heavy Bombers in front.
28:2462-53.
28:26When we return, we'll tell you the story of the first half.
28:29Our highlights and some numbers for you guys.
28:33All that coming your way when we return.
28:35Here at NCAA Season 100 on GTV.
