00:00And they come up with a steal right away.
00:03Touchdown! Greg Guananan!
00:06As I said earlier, Anton, these two teams like to run, score on fast break points.
00:11They're two fast-paced teams. So we expect a lot of things like that to happen.
00:16So it's a chess match early on.
00:18We see the defensive adjustment for Coach Gilbert Malaban at second steal.
00:26Another fast break point.
00:28Oh, he just missed that.
00:30Hubilla comes up with a rebound. So better transition defense, Prince, for Mapua.
00:35This guy, Hubilla, undersized, big. But he knows how to position himself to get those rebounds.
00:42And in all of this, he plays big. Chris Hubilla.
00:49Here's the drive.
00:51Peñafiel missing.
00:54The ball is back here in Mapua.
00:56They're running again.
00:59That's it, it's good.
01:00How about that?
01:01Diego Bancale, direct, direct.
01:04And he even draws a foul.
01:07Fearless, this guy, Bancale.
01:12But a good steal, good steal for Iglesias.
01:16Reminds me of a Prince card play.
01:18That's it. Let's hear it from Anton and Prince.
01:20Thank you very much, Bianca, for getting us the approach from the coaches with regards to this all-important game.
01:28Meanwhile, Bancale again.
01:30Another end-1 play for Bancale, showing his aggressiveness early this quarter.
01:38So that's five early points for Bancale.
01:42And look at him battle for that rebound.
01:45Pagribu Escamiz.
01:47Escamiz stops, pops, and connects.
01:52And Mapua is off to a 7-0 start.
01:56To win the championship, Escamiz missed timing that steal attempt and Guadagna scores.
02:07Bancale, free throw.
02:09Diego Bancale has nine points, Prince.
02:13He took advantage of that miscommunication on the Lyceum side.
02:17This is Anton Sikunanan. This is the real definition of a point guard.
02:21He knows where his teammates are. He knows how to create space for them.
02:25As we see, Guadagna's attacking right.
02:28Strong right for Guadagna.
02:34You know the thing I like about these sparkle boys of summer that are being promoted
02:41even though it's not summer.
02:44Hey, you guys.
02:46Recto.
02:49Cuenco.
02:53And Magubat, right place at the right time.
02:56Another offensive rebound for Mapua.
03:01He's exploding in the game.
03:02Because we know his capabilities, especially last season.
03:05JC Recto is really doing it.
03:08Magubat, another offensive rebound.
03:12Lorenz.
03:15Oh, what a spin.
03:16Lorenz, Magubat.
03:18What a move.
03:22Spin move and a dipsy move.
03:25Puts Mapua up by four.
03:29Kaduyak.
03:30Oh, JC Recto caught up.
03:33That's the worst kind of foul, Anton.
03:35Fouling on three points.
03:38What a move right there.
03:40Lorenz, Magubat.
03:42Spinning and winning.
03:47Making the defense disappear.
03:49Fearless.
03:50His defender is going to attack.
03:52There's no fear in this game.
03:56There is Villegas.
03:58That's what he does.
03:59Too fast, too furious.
04:01That's what he does.
04:06Two deadlocks now in this game.
04:08Oh, what a pass.
04:09He's doing everything.
04:11For you guys, as the defensive team.
04:13Mentally, there's pressure.
04:15Because knowing Clint, he's really good at anticipating passes.
04:19Good on-ball defender.
04:22Anticipating passes.
04:24And until now, he's number one in skills.
04:26Yep.
04:28Barba.
04:30Barba.
04:31It won't take long for him to heat up.
04:36Eskam is running.
04:39Eskam is a dangerous pass.
04:42And Bancale.
04:44Bancale is actually perfect from the field.
04:47It's his day today.
04:49His day. Career day. Career game.
04:51Eleven points now for Bancale.
04:53And a steal right here.
04:56Concepcion.
04:58All the way.
05:00And Papua now has a six-point lead.
05:05Oh, Guadagna is gone.
05:10Power move by Maclaude Guadagna.
05:15Bancale.
05:18Ten on the shot clock.
05:20Mangubat will try again.
05:23Mangubat, the confidence.
05:25That's a counterattack.
05:27Papua already has nine offensive rebounds.
05:30So if you're like him, you need to find ways to box them out.
05:34What a shot by Mangubat.
05:42Nice sidestep.
05:43So fast.
05:46Good recovery there for the LPU.
05:51Montano.
05:53Backdoor.
05:54Barba.
05:55Oh my goodness.
05:56How?
05:58What a shot for Barba.
06:00Montano.
06:01What a shot for Barba.
06:03That was so deep.
06:05That was a good pectus.
06:06But good backdoor for him.
06:07Reading the defense.
06:09The LPU has a lot of backdoor plays.
06:11Papua needs to read that.
06:15What a shot by Ato Barba.
06:18Strong left.
06:20Finishing right.
06:24That's his strength.
06:25Strong left.
06:26Finish right.
06:30Montano.
06:33Kaduyak for three.
06:36Rebound.
06:37Concepcion.
06:38I love the activity of Concepcion.
06:41Escamiz.
06:43Hubilia.
06:45Oh yeah.
06:47Hubilia.
06:48Chris Hubilia with a big boy move.
06:50Biggest lead now for Papua.
06:5243-34.
06:53Nine point lead.
06:54Even in the past few games, his handles have been good.
06:58Escamiz.
06:59Good roll.
07:00Good pass.
07:01Hubilia absorbs the corner.
07:05There's the guns.
07:0811 points for Papua.
07:1011 point lead.
07:12The upper strength of Hubilia.
07:17Barba.
07:18Wow.
07:19Ato Barba just reading the defense.
07:22He was left wide open.
07:24Hubilia didn't close out.
07:27Rookie mistake.
07:28Now he knows.
07:29That's Barba right there.
07:32Escamiz.
07:33Oh.
07:34Turnover.
07:35Good race.
07:36Cunanan.
07:37Good pass.
07:38Cunanan.
07:39Ato Barba scores.
07:40Good decision for Cunanan as a point guard.
07:44Escamiz.
07:46Recto for three.
07:48And good box out by Barba.
07:50Barba.
07:54Oh.
07:55He just pushed off Escamiz.
07:58End one for Villegas.
08:01Wow.
08:02He pushed off the reigning MVP.
08:13I thought it was an end one.
08:17It's because of Hubilia.
08:19A Hubilia drive usually leads to an end one.
08:23Oh.
08:25Vanelo could not hold on to the ball.
08:27Run ball.
08:30That's been Laceum's problem.
08:32Offensive rebounds.
08:33He keeps saying.
08:34You know.
08:35It's very important.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Especially in the end game.
08:42Barba.
08:46Switch there for Hubilia.
08:49Barba.
08:50Half spin.
08:51Oh.
08:52Ato Barba with a big roll.
08:54Now has 12 points.
09:02Trying to slow down the office of Mapua by showing a good defense.
09:08Barba.
09:09Villegas running again.
09:13That's good transition defense by Mapua.
09:16But.
09:17Wow.
09:19Good decision for Villegas.
09:22He didn't have the numbers.
09:25Look at this move.
09:26Half spin.
09:27Step through.
09:28Barba.
09:35Another switch.
09:38Gunanan from the corner.
09:41Action shoot for Gunanan.
09:49Forwards action.
09:50There for Laceum.
09:51Villegas is gone.
09:53Just missed the layup.
09:55Oh.
09:56Barba with a steal.
09:57Barba again.
09:59Ato Barba.
10:00Great anticipation.
10:03Guadagna.
10:10Guadagna against Escamiz.
10:13Good matchup.
10:15Oh.
10:16Wow.
10:17And one.
10:19That's good.
10:20The athleticism of Dailegg on display in that matchup.
10:28Good decision.
10:29That drive.
10:30He saw Recto doing a long closeout.
10:33So when your defense does a long closeout, you just drive it.
10:40Bancale still perfect.
10:41Still perfect for Bancale.
10:43Oh.
10:44What a game for this guy.
10:4714 points.
10:48Career high for Dzeko Bancale.
10:52Ato Barba light drive.
10:54Barba.
10:55Barba.
10:56Three.
10:57Barba is on another level.
11:0317 points for Ato Barba.
11:05Five deadlocks now.
11:07First miss for Bancale.
11:10But it was straight.
11:11I thought it was going in.
11:16They're really finding him, Dzeko Bancale.
11:18Drive and kick.
11:20As they should.
11:21He's on fire.
11:24Escamiz still looking for that first steal.
11:27Clip is just gambling.
11:34It's a hard show.
11:36They always have a hard show in pick and roll.
11:41Aviles.
11:46Guadagna.
11:47Good fake.
11:49And McClone.
11:50Guadagna knocks down the triple.
11:52There you go.
11:59Ubat.
12:00Cuenco.
12:13Five point lead.
12:14Five point lead now.
12:16Good curl.
12:19Oh, what a shot by McClone Guadagna.
12:21Very aggressive.
12:22Gonna commend this guy for being so aggressive.
12:26It's a stop to start the fourth by LPU.
12:29For the lead.
12:30For the lead.
12:32And this is LPU's first lead since 2-0.
12:38What a way to come back.
12:39They switched up their defense again.
12:41They're back to Mantumana again.
12:45Escamiz steps back.
12:46Top shot.
12:48But he can make that.
12:49He can make those shots.
12:52But these LPU players are very scrappy.
12:58Dailek with the save.
12:59Gunanan again.
13:01Wow.
13:02Double pump in the air.
13:04Three point lead now.
13:06Guadagna stepping up.
13:07This quarter.
13:16They use the screen there.
13:17Good drop pass.
13:19Good find for Cuenco.
13:21Good finish for him.
13:35Look at this.
13:36This is elite.
13:38Midi.
13:40Off of the pull-up.
13:53That's why they say the mid-range game is a lost art.
13:57Because not a lot of people do that these days.
14:05Escamiz.
14:06Picks up the ball.
14:09Cuenco.
14:10On the move.
14:12Concepcion.
14:13There we go.
14:14They say it's a good game.
14:15Concepcion.
14:19That's why his minutes are high right now.
14:22He's paying off his coach's trust.
14:26Guadagna.
14:27Blow by foul.
14:28And one.
14:29Wow.
14:30For McLeod.
14:31For McLeod.
14:32Guadagna.
14:36Look at the quick first step of McLeod.
14:39Guadagna.
14:41And that control.
14:45Well this is a big challenge for them right now.
14:47Bianca.
14:48Because they are down by eight.
14:51Cuenco.
14:52Big time basket.
14:54Big shot for Cuenco.
14:57But I'll just go back to this.
14:58What a game we're seeing from Dain Lake.
15:01He has a lot of confidence in this game.
15:03Do you know the meme with Shaquille O'Neal?
15:06Another one.
15:07Oh.
15:08Dain Lake.
15:12What a game by Dain Lake.
15:14He now has 13 points.
15:16I am sorry.
15:18I was not familiar with your game.
15:21Now you aren't.
15:24And Escambes draws a foul.
15:28And he's holding on to the field.
15:31Holding on to the shin.
15:34You know that meme of Shaquille O'Neal?
15:38I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with your game.
15:40Yes.
15:41Well I'm sorry.
15:42I'm not familiar with Jonathan Dain Lake's game.
15:45But if you didn't know, now you know.
15:49They're introducing each other.
15:54Calls for the screen.
15:55Escambes needs to come back to life right now.
15:57Especially since it's crunch time.
15:59Cuenco for three.
16:01Overshoots that one.
16:03And Jovilla with a foot back.
16:07Mapua down by three.
16:11Take note.
16:12Mapua already has 17 offensive rebounds.
16:15That's pretty big.
16:18Villegas.
16:19Wow.
16:23The Cardinals just can't keep up with Renz Villegas.
16:29Just too fast.
16:31Too fast.
16:35Escambes.
16:40Escambes.
16:42Mapua back for three.
16:44Too strong.
16:47And here's Dain Lake.
16:48Here's Dain Lake again.
16:51Stepping on the brakes.
16:53Yes.
16:54They don't have to rush.
16:57Montano.
16:58A veteran move.
17:01Awesome.
17:02Montano.
17:03A veteran move.
17:05Bacale with the rebound.
17:08Jovilla.
17:09Power dribble.
17:11Jovilla.
17:13Wheels that basket.
17:16What a strong move for Jovilla.
17:19That was just willpower.
17:22Escambes for three.
17:25Too strong.
17:26Cuenco.
17:27Another second chance.
17:29Cuenco.
17:30Good shot.
17:31Kind of forced that one.
17:33Another stop for the LPU Pirates.
17:38Barba.
17:40Barba.
17:42That might do it right there.
17:44That might be the dagger for Naisiu.
17:49Ato Barba.
17:52We are seeing him grow up in front of our own eyes.
17:58This is going to be potentially his fourth straight 20-point game.
18:05Wow.
18:06Wow.
18:07Ato Barba.
18:12Maclon Guadagna.
18:14Just erased that shot by Escambes.
18:17Wow.
18:23What a block for Guadagna.
18:25Guadagna.
18:30This right here is one of the best blocks I've seen in years in the NCAA.
18:40That was like Manu Ginobili on James Harden.
18:44I don't think he made the first straight 25.
18:48Nothing.
18:56Mang Ubat from the corner.
18:59And Barba grabs another rebound.
19:03What a game for the Laisiu Pirates.
19:05Getting this crucial win.
19:07Ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the ballgame, our final score is 96-81.
19:14Won by the LPU Pirates.
19:19It's already 96-81.
19:21Yes.
19:22We didn't notice.
19:23It was so close earlier.
19:24Yeah.
19:27Wow.
19:28Outscoring Laisium 31-15 this quarter.
19:31I mean, outscoring Mapua.
19:38What a win.
19:39Signature win by the LPU Pirates.
19:54Wow.
19:55Wow.
