00:00For the fourth and final quarter of this basketball game between Papua and LPU.
00:08The first three minutes are crucial here, Anton.
00:11Because that's where they'll get their confidence.
00:13And if they get caught, they'll be out.
00:16Ooh, got hit there.
00:21It's a stop to start the fourth by LPU.
00:24For the lead.
00:25For the lead!
00:27And this is LPU's first lead since 2-0.
00:32What a way to come back.
00:42Escamillo steps back.
00:45But he can make that. He can make those shots.
00:48But these LPU players, very scrappy.
00:52Dylek with the save.
00:53Gunanan again.
00:55Wow, double pump in the air.
00:58Three-point lead now.
01:03Gunanan stepping up this quarter.
01:13They use the screen there.
01:15Good drop pass.
01:17Goes fine for Cuenco.
01:19Goes fine for Cuenco.
01:21Good finish for Recto.
01:27It's a one-point game.
01:32They're really looking for Cota.
01:34They're setting him up.
01:36A lot of staggered screens, pin downs for him.
01:38Pin downs for him.
01:39They won.
01:48This is the one who gave the lead to LPU.
01:53Greg Gunanan.
01:54Back-to-back baskets for Gunanan.
02:00Three fouls now for Escamillo.
02:01He has to be extra careful now.
02:04Good hard shot for Rubilia.
02:06Switched.
02:08Gunanan again.
02:11Being more aggressive this quarter.
02:22That's what's good about Gunanan.
02:24He's known for a pass first player.
02:27But he can also attack and create space for himself.
02:34First free throw is up and did for Gunanan.
02:44He's actually having a game with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists.
02:48So all-around then, all-around performance for him.
02:5715 points now for Gunanan.
03:00And a three-point lead for LPU.
03:04Escamiz now.
03:06Offense starts with him.
03:16Players fighting for the ball.
03:23Some words being exchanged there.
03:29Three fouls now.
03:32Two fouls on number 13.
03:33Aya Mahmoud.
03:34That's his third personal foul.
03:37First two fouls for the Martins.
03:41Substitution for the Cardinals.
03:43Gianfrancisco.
03:46Replacing JC Rector.
03:5314 seconds on the shot clock.
03:55Low speed.
03:57Left speed for Escamiz.
04:02That's a foul on Barba.
04:10That's crucial.
04:11Barba now has four fouls.
04:14Hopefully, he'll graduate.
04:17So Coach Gilbert is looking.
04:19He's thinking.
04:21If he's going to sub, right?
04:2314 seconds on the shot clock.
04:27They still have seven minutes.
04:34Rector.
04:37He had a shot there, it seems.
04:40Rector was a bit hesitant there.
04:54Montaño.
04:55Montaño moving like a card.
05:00Wow!
05:06His confidence is amazing.
05:09Simple jab, step, one, two, pull up.
05:13His idol is a handsome guy.
05:18Escamiz for three.
05:19Short.
05:21Icleane.
05:23Short.
05:24Another offensive rebound for Mapua.
05:28But they can't put the ball through the net.
05:32They're very dominant in the rebounding.
05:34They won't be able to convert that.
05:44Look at this.
05:45This is elite.
05:47Midi.
05:49Off of the pull up.
05:54All smiles for you.
06:02That's why they say the mid-range game is a lost art.
06:06Because not a lot of people do that these days.
06:10Montaño.
06:14Escamiz picks up the ball.
06:19Cuenco.
06:20On the move.
06:21Concepcion.
06:23There we go.
06:24He's having a good game.
06:25Concepcion.
06:29That's why his minutes are high right now.
06:32He's paying off the trust of his coach.
06:36Guadagna.
06:37Low body foul.
06:38And one.
06:39Wow!
06:40For McLeod.
06:41McLeod Guadagna.
06:47Look at the quick first step of McLeod Guadagna.
06:51And that control.
06:53He has a rebound.
06:54But that control.
07:06That's hard.
07:07Your first defender is Clint.
07:08Then you get a rebound.
07:09Big man.
07:10And one more.
07:12Missing out the free throw though.
07:15Mapua down by five.
07:16Cuenco.
07:18Escamiz.
07:19Speed move.
07:20Concepcion.
07:22No!
07:24Biggest lead now for Liceum.
07:27Let's see if he can add more.
07:30Oh.
07:32Guadagna again.
07:33He's feeling it.
07:36Guadagna.
07:37Good pass.
07:38Good movement.
07:40Thailand.
07:41Oh.
07:42My.
07:44Goodness.
07:46Where did you come from?
07:48LPU.
07:50On top by eight.
08:02But Mapua.
08:03Was also in the finals.
08:051997.
08:07Oh.
08:08Good defense by Justin Sanchez.
08:09And that's what he can do.
08:10He's that help guy.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Exactly.
08:13High school.
08:14That's what he can do.
08:15What a pass.
08:16Adam Liwag inside.
08:17With a flex afterwards.
08:19And one.
08:20For Adam Liwag.
08:22But let's credit the dish.
08:25Of a charging Justin Sanchez.
08:27Look at that.
08:28Tap.
08:29No look.
08:30To Adam Liwag.
08:31Yes.
08:32We saw it.
08:33If Justin Sanchez can do this.
08:34This is the value that we bring.
08:35The squad.
08:36Yes.
08:37This is the replacement of Aguimenio.
08:38They are Masiglat.
08:39Yes.
08:40Lance Masiglat.
08:41Who is.
08:42Doing his residence.
08:44Because they played prior to graduating.
08:46Oh.
08:47They are two of his rivals.
08:48Lance Ronquillo.
08:50Push shot goes in for Adam Liwag.
08:52Let's wait for that.
08:53I'm fortunate.
08:54What is it?
08:55Role player.
08:56He just knows what he can do.
08:57Doesn't get too ahead of himself.
08:59Yes.
09:04All right.
09:05Let's get a courtside update right now.
09:07From Bianca Alejandre.
09:09Time and time again.
09:11The Cardinals dominate with command and instinct.
09:13But this time.
09:14They are trying to prove their mettle.
09:16This might set the tone for an exciting quarter ahead.
09:18As coach Raffy Alcantara believes.
09:20To stay composed.
09:22But not relaxed.
09:24You should be prepared in every game.
09:25You should be prepared in everything.
09:27I'm different from you.
09:28Thus we might want to keep a lookout.
09:30For the Cardinals.
09:31Because they're not just playing to win.
09:33They're playing to make a statement.
09:35Over to you Anton and Prince.
09:37Well this is a big challenge for them right now Bianca.
09:39Because.
09:41They are down by eight.
09:43Cuenco.
09:44Oh.
09:45Big time basket.
09:47Big shot for Cuenco.
09:49But I'll just go back Anton.
09:51What a game we're seeing from Dain Lake.
09:52He's got a lot of confidence in this game.
09:54Do you know the meme with Shaquille O'Neal?
09:56Another one.
09:58Oh.
10:00Dain Lake.
10:02Whee.
10:04What a game by Dain Lake.
10:06He now has 13 points.
10:08I am sorry.
10:10I was not familiar with your game.
10:12Now you are Anton.
10:15And Escamez draws a foul.
10:18And he's all good.
10:19On to the shin.
10:21You know that meme of Shaquille O'Neal.
10:24I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with your game.
10:26Yes.
10:28Well I'm sorry.
10:30I'm not familiar with Jonathan Dain Lake's game.
10:32But if you didn't know.
10:34Now you know.
10:36He's introducing you Anton.
10:38Escamez.
10:44Oh.
10:46Oh.
10:47Wow.
10:490-4-3 now.
10:51On his last trip.
10:55And this is the best shooter in the NCAA from the free throw line.
10:59And today he has missed three times.
11:02You really can't tell.
11:04The ball is round Anton.
11:13Still a lot of time though.
11:154 minutes and 40 seconds.
11:17Mapua has to get stops.
11:21And capitalize on those offensive rebounds.
11:33He's now 7 of 9 in the free throw line.
11:36Another one.
11:38So the first one was a late violation.
11:48That was a big one.
11:53Perfect.
12:01Yam Protsefshon.
12:03In the game now.
12:0680% from the free throw line.
12:08This is Clint Escamez this game.
12:11Mapua applying pressure now.
12:14Villegas.
12:15Oh.
12:22The landing of Villegas is a bit delicate.
12:39There was no foul call.
12:41Let's see who's the last touch.
12:43This is going to be a big play right here.
12:45Clint Escamez swiped.
12:50So it's either him or Villegas.
12:53The thing is though.
12:55The ball is going to the crowd.
13:05Clint is going to go for the swipe here.
13:15Tough decision for the referees.
13:17Yeah.
13:19This is potentially the most important call of the game.
13:21Yeah.
13:40So it's still LPU basketball.
13:42Cardinals.
13:44Down by five.
13:55Oh.
13:56Dyleg.
13:58Dyleg is becoming a major factor in this game.
14:01Yes.
14:03Dyleg.
14:05Dyleg.
14:07Dyleg.
14:09Dyleg.
14:12Going to commend Villegas though for recognizing the mismatch at the bottom.
14:26Dyleg with a career high of 30 points.
14:31Aviles.
14:33Villegas.
14:35Good pass.
14:37Aviles blocked.
14:39Aviles was blocked.
14:41And here come the Cardinals.
14:44Escamez.
14:49Calls for the screen.
14:51Escamez needs to stay alive right now.
14:53Especially at crunch time.
14:55Cuenco for three.
14:57Overshoots that one.
14:59And Jovilla with a putback.
15:02Mapuha down by three.
15:07Take note.
15:08Mapuha already has 17 offensive rebounds.
15:11That's pretty big.
15:14Villegas.
15:16Wow.
15:18The Cardinals just can't keep up with Renz Villegas.
15:25Just too fast.
15:27Too fast.
15:30Escamez.
15:35Escamez.
15:38Mapuha.
15:40For three. Too strong.
15:43And here's Dyleg.
15:45Here's Dyleg again.
15:47Stepping on the brakes.
15:49They don't have to rush.
15:53Montano.
15:55A veteran move.
15:57Kyle Montano.
15:59He saw an open lane there and took advantage of it.
16:04What a way to protect the ball.
16:14Cuenco.
16:17Cuenco.
16:26These are not easy shots the LPU Pirates are converting.
16:33Wow.
16:37Smart.
16:44And now Ato Barba is back in.
16:50LPU has outscored Mapuha.
16:53Here in the fourth quarter.
16:5520 to 12.
16:59Escamez.
17:01And now Dyleg with a rebound.
17:03Montano.
17:11They really want Montano to set up their offense.
17:18Bonanan.
17:21Bonanan.
17:23Montano. Big three.
17:26Bakale with a rebound.
17:29Mobiliar. Power dribble.
17:31Mobiliar wills that basket.
17:37What a strong move for Mobiliar.
17:40That was just willpower.
17:43And a crucial basket for Mapuha.
17:46They need to get a stop now.
17:52Bonanan.
17:56Ato Barba.
17:58Too strong.
18:00Here comes Mapuha.
18:02The door is left open.
18:04Cuenco.
18:06And Dyleg bothered that shot.
18:08To the front, Dyleg.
18:11And Barba is fouled.
18:21Look at this movie.
18:23Spin.
18:25A bit of a bounce.
18:27Montano just smiled.
18:31As a line shooting two rebounds.
18:35Barba.
18:37Barba is 68.4% free throw shooter.
18:42This is actually his first trip in the free throw line this game.
18:46And he's been on the bench for a while.
18:48So still a little cold is Ato Barba.
18:52That could be a factor. Barba is still a bit cold from the bench.
19:01Oh, he misses both.
19:03That's big.
19:05Oh my.
19:07Let's see if Mapuha could capitalize.
19:10That's a two possession game for the two.
19:13Escamiz.
19:15Zigzagging.
19:17Escamiz, goal.
19:19And Dyleg again.
19:22Foul call, but it's on the penalty sheet.
19:24And Daileck again!
19:28Foul call but it's already in the penalty area.
19:32So 2 free throws for Daileck.
19:36Having a career game, this Daileck.
19:39Foul number 72 from Slovenia.
19:42That's his 4th personal foul.
19:45Penalty!
19:51So with J.M. Bravo lost for the season due to a spine injury.
19:58This guy, his minutes, his stock just went up.
20:03Jonathan Daileck.
20:04For sure his role and his minutes will go up.
20:09And it's up to him to show that he deserves it.
20:15And right now he's showing that he deserves to play.
20:19Career high.
20:24And 2 of 2.
20:26Clutch free throws.
20:29Papua calls a timeout, they're down by 7.
20:34The sky is the limit.
20:37And Imeni from the corner.
20:39Nope.
20:42Inut.
20:44Leading Topnetza for the finish.
20:47Forcing another turnover and a transition layup.
20:50Highlight there, he didn't let it go down.
20:53And another take away, Inut!
20:56Full head of steam!
20:58And Benilde has fully come back in this one.
21:02First deadlock of the game at 40 apiece.
21:07Sometimes you're on your own, sometimes you're on your own.
21:10Just play, just keep going.
21:12Welcome to the NCAA moment for Abdullah.
21:16Look at the hustle here of Imeni.
21:19Hounding Inut. Sanchez for 3.
21:21Sanchez knocks it down!
21:24And Benilde!
21:28Approaching.
21:29Approaching.
21:32The final 2 minutes of the game.
21:38The Lycians hoping that they notch their 3rd straight win today.
21:46And should they win, it's going to be against a big team in the Papua Cardinals.
21:55Final 4 contender.
21:56A team in the finals twice in the past 3 tournaments.
22:03Very important possession for Papua right now.
22:07Escamiz for 3.
22:09Too strong.
22:11Guenco.
22:13Another second chance.
22:15Guenco, wild shot.
22:17Another stop for the LPU Pirates.
22:22Barba.
22:24Barba!
22:27That might do it right there.
22:29That might be the dagger for Lyceum.
22:34Ato Barba.
22:37We are seeing him grow up in front of our own eyes.
22:44This is going to be potentially his 4th straight 20 point game.
22:51Wow. Wow.
22:52And again, we haven't seen this type of offensive production since Robert Bolling and CJ Perez were in the league.
23:03I guess it's the next phase of the league. Ato Barba.
23:07Biggest lead of the game.
23:13Yeah, Lyceum's biggest lead with 10 points.
23:1610 points.
23:21I mean, you know this, Prince. It's hard to score 20 points in the NCAA consistently.
23:27It's really hard, Anton. I haven't scored 20 points yet.
23:31Hercules Calianta of the Lyceum of the Philippines University, Bangkok Chairman.
23:38Crucial free throws now for Clint Escaliz.
23:42But time is not on their side.
23:46Melchor Divina, Mancom rep for Mapua University.
23:53I see JM Bravo in the tunnel of LPU.
23:59Supporting his team.
24:01Oh, wow.
24:03Escaliz.
24:06This is just the story of the game right there.
24:11Escaliz, the best.
24:13LPU Barage basketball.
24:15You, you, you, you, you, you're going to miss.
24:19You're going to miss.
24:21You're going to miss.
24:23You're going to miss.
24:25You're going to miss.
24:27You're going to miss.
24:28Khamis, the best percentage being as Khamis, Steve Nash, John Stockton, in the 90s.
24:37But today he missed 3 free throws.
24:45Sending Atobarba again, the free throw.
24:53Atobarba.
24:55Let's watch the number 1 score in the NCAA.
25:13Barba is like a quiet storm.
25:17His demeanor is calm, but he's a stone-cold killer.
25:24He's a large guy in Guadagno.
25:30He now has 23 points.
25:33Atobarba.
25:37Oh!
25:38McClone Guadagna just erased that shot by Escamiz.
25:43Wow!
25:49What a blow for Guadagna.
25:55This right here is one of the best blocks I've seen in years in the NCAA.
26:05That was like Manu Ginobili on James Harden.
26:13So clean.
26:19Well, that's gonna show up on our awesome plays.
26:252 of 2 for Guadagna. I guess that's it.
26:34Barba.
26:37Wow.
26:38If they're going to give Barba a chance to extend his point total.
26:44This is the biggest lead for LBU with 13 points.
26:48And Barba will add more points.
26:50Barba.
26:53Now, where is Bob Ducanes when we need him?
26:59This has got to be some sort of a record print.
27:02Because if Atobarba shoots these two free throws.
27:05As we see in JM Bravo.
27:08We also see Marcos Jarwin Manalo.
27:12Secretary General of ABAP.
27:16Two free throws for John Barba.
27:19Four straight games of at least 25 points.
27:24I don't think this has been done post-pandemic.
27:28Sheesh! That's really impressive.
27:31Even Will Gozum, I don't think he made four straight 25.
27:36No, no, no.
27:45Bang Ubat from the corner.
27:48And Barba grabs another rebound.
27:52What a game for the Lyceum Pirates.
27:54Getting this crucial win.
27:56Ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the ball game.
27:59Our final score is 96-81.
28:03Won by the LBU Pirates.
28:08It's already 96-81.
28:10Yes.
28:11We didn't notice.
28:12It was so close.
28:14Yeah.
28:16Wow.
28:17Outscoring Lyceum 31-15 this quarter.
28:20I mean outscoring Mapua.
28:27What a win.
28:28Signature win by the LBU Pirates.
