00:00Especially this game, we don't know who will really win.
00:03At one point, it's only the AAC and the LPU.
00:08And they're both battling it out.
00:10Lata Abuelez and A'Ton Rojas working alongside Prince Rivero.
00:15And we have Christine, San Agustin, and Quartzai.
00:19A steal by Funanan.
00:21Funanan, oh!
00:23And a pick by Ochavo.
00:26You didn't notice that Ochavo was there, did you?
00:30He missed, but he was there.
00:32That's the pick.
00:34Good defense from Ochavo.
00:36I thought it was a sure two, like in Vegas.
00:38Kyle was there.
00:46Funanan.
00:48Funanan.
00:50Wow!
00:52That's a little bit short.
00:54You know they have a term for that.
00:56Everything but the shot.
00:58That was a nice move though.
01:00That little hezi that he did after the shot.
01:04But for me, as we see this.
01:08Oh, there's the foul right there.
01:10The Kumay award, the everything but the shot award.
01:14And Barba's layup earlier.
01:16Barba, the spin move.
01:18After the spin move, his guard was at four.
01:20He didn't just shoot, but...
01:22That picture is a poster.
01:24Everything but the shot award.
01:30So, I'm sure you've had those moments.
01:32What do you recall?
01:34Everything but the shot that you did.
01:36Of course, you know me.
01:38You know that whenever I try to make my move,
01:42there's always a good footwork.
01:44And you know,
01:46if you watch my videos,
01:48I always say that
01:50everything but the shot is the best move.
01:52Because you know,
01:54I look up to a lot of people.
01:56Especially,
01:58now my friends
02:00who helped me
02:02to achieve
02:04the little that I have
02:06in the footwork
02:08that I use.
02:10And you know, I'm really glad
02:12that they helped me because I used it
02:14throughout the years.
02:16And here's Ochavo, spin move.
02:18Ochavo.
02:20Grabs his own miss.
02:22Ochavo throws it to Gortiza.
02:24Crossover, pull up.
02:26King Gortiza gives the lead back
02:28to EAC.
02:30Oh my!
02:32I like how EAC
02:34is a tone for LPU.
02:36Number three.
02:38King Gortiza gives it back to...
02:40Few remaining games in round one.
02:42This game is very important
02:44because this will dictate their narrative
02:46and they are not far from getting this win
02:48as long as they stick with great execution
02:50and stay mentally strong all throughout.
02:52Anton and Prince,
02:54hopes are up at the EAC side.
02:56So let's see if they will be able to end this
02:58in victory. All for now, back to you guys.
03:00Well, Christine, it is now a 5-0 run
03:02for the EAC Generals.
03:04You know, Anton,
03:06Ochavo might not be the tallest
03:08but so far,
03:10he has the biggest impact
03:12for Coach Gerson for EAC.
03:14He's the one trying to
03:16run the ball on offense,
03:18get those stops on defense.
03:20He's the one turning the ball
03:22to look for those open shots
03:24and then from the previous play,
03:26he knocked down that crucial three-pointer.
03:28Wow, Gortiza and Ochavo
03:30making great
03:32music together.
03:38Rewarding each other on those last two
03:40possessions. Barba for three!
03:42There it is!
03:48Sixteen points
03:50for Atul Barba.
03:52Third triple
03:54of the game.
03:58With a long ball!
04:04What a game!
04:06Good rebound
04:08for a bad guy.
04:12Ochavo,
04:14dangerous pass.
04:16Could have been a great slay.
04:20Anton, what can you say
04:22about the
04:24size doesn't matter?
04:26It's real.
04:28It's real.
04:30It's real.
04:32It's real.
04:34It's real.
04:36As long as you perform
04:38well.
04:42Gortiza.
04:46Atul Barba.
04:48Three against two.
04:52That's going to be
04:54two retros.
04:56That was a tough collision.
04:58As you can see,
05:00after the steps Barba took,
05:02his whole body
05:04turned.
05:06And sometimes, that's the kind of
05:08contact that they call
05:10breathing.
05:18Especially if you get hit in the middle.
05:20That's painful.
05:32Sir Robert Mancicolo.
05:44Another collision.
05:50Do you remember what I told you earlier?
05:52There's a big guy, and there's someone
05:54going downhill.
05:56It's hard to accept
05:58when your right hand is up
06:00because there's a force.
06:02But in this situation,
06:04we saw what the referee
06:06was explaining earlier.
06:08The twist of the hip,
06:10the waist, and the body
06:12to give you the foul.
06:14In which he did.
06:2017 points for Atul Barba.
06:24So well within striking distance
06:26of his 21
06:28point per game average.
06:3021.2
06:32to be exact.
06:46So LPU got bigger.
06:54LPU now giving EAC
06:56the full court press.
06:58Pagsanan misses.
07:00Penafiel!
07:02Touchdown!
07:08LPU is down by one.
07:14Pagsanan.
07:16Cortiza from the corner.
07:18Oktana!
07:20Right place at the right time.
07:22Oktana's pull-up was beautiful.
07:24Oktana.
07:26That would've been hard for them
07:28if LPU got it and they transitioned
07:30on offense.
07:32But again, great offensive rebound.
07:36Gunanan to Dailek.
07:38Gunanan.
07:42Penafiel throws it out.
07:44Dailek for three.
07:46Big basket for Jonathan Dailek.
07:50You know what I'm seeing?
07:52I'm seeing the traditional Filipino basketball.
07:54Both teams are playing
07:56zone defense and they're trying
07:58to outmatch their opponent by
08:00shooting shots from the outside.
08:02And so far,
08:04EAC has been successful on that
08:06during the first half.
08:08But now that LPU has been
08:10giving them a hard time
08:12because of their 1-2-2 defense.
08:14Ochavo.
08:16Aviles comes up with the rebound.
08:18We are tied at
08:2079-0, our fifth deadlock
08:22of the game.
08:24Barba for the lead.
08:28That would've been a cold-blooded three
08:30by Barba if he made that.
08:32Wow, Harvey Baksanhan with his
08:34signature move.
08:36That's a similar layup of what he did earlier
08:38when they started their run.
08:42That's a signature play right there,
08:44one of his favorite moves.
08:47Peña Fiel for the lead.
08:53Here's Ochavo.
08:55Baksanhan, drop pass,
08:57Hakom.
08:59Back to four.
09:07Now this is what we call
09:09a game on a Sunday.
09:13Wow!
09:15With a Sunday special.
09:21That could've been a basket
09:23with a foul, but I guess the referees
09:25didn't see the contact.
09:29But nevertheless, wow.
09:34Greg Gonana just
09:36willed that
09:38shot in.
09:46We're about to find out
09:48which team is in better shape
09:50also. A lot of players
09:52playing heavy minutes.
09:54Good stop there, but
09:56an offensive rebound.
10:00Still a great offensive rebound
10:02by Lashard.
10:04Gael Montano,
10:06that's his third personal foul.
10:09So the big three of EAC
10:11is now on the floor, Baksanhan,
10:13Cortiza, and Doromal,
10:15along with the veterans,
10:17Luciano and Oftana.
10:23Luciano, wow!
10:25Veteran move right there.
10:27And as you can see, he's been doing that
10:29the entire game.
10:31Whenever he gets the moment,
10:33he's doing it.
10:35He's been doing that the entire game.
10:37Whenever he gets the ball underneath,
10:39he's patient enough to wait for the
10:41defenders to make a mistake
10:43before he makes his shot.
10:45And so far, he's been effective
10:47doing so.
10:49I'm liking this matchup right here
10:51between Barba and Cortiza.
10:57They both have that dog.
11:02I like that.
11:04Look at the nail in the head with that one.
11:06That's a perfect description.
11:08I mean, they've been battling it out
11:10the entire game, and no one
11:12wants to give space
11:14for one another.
11:16Is there such thing as a nonchalant dog?
11:18I don't know, but
11:20what I'm seeing now...
11:24Look, as Barba's got the nonchalant attitude,
11:26King is just
11:28oozing with swag.
11:30You know what I see?
11:32You know,
11:34the trophy dog.
11:36When you're out, you're just chilling.
11:38But when you're in the zone,
11:40when you're in the tournament, you're showing off.
11:42And that's what he's doing.
11:44He's showing off.
11:46In a way, that's very nonchalant.
11:50I like that.
11:52A trophy dog.
11:54Perfect description.
11:58He's a rare breed.
12:00Oh!
12:02Vinegas!
12:04Cortiza!
12:06LPU coming up with some wild shot
12:08attempts.
12:10One dribble pull-up rattles out
12:12Vinegas!
12:14To Barba!
12:16Barba!
12:18Oh! Sorry, miss!
12:20You know, I thought we've been talking about the calls earlier
12:22from the previous games and the games before that.
12:24You know what I think?
12:26I'm loving this type of basketball.
12:28Last three minutes,
12:30the refs are letting these college players
12:32play their hearts out.
12:34Giving them time to just, you know,
12:36play basketball.
12:38Traditional Filipino basketball.
12:40Up and down.
12:42Highly physical. Razzle dazzle.
12:48Your turn, my turn.
12:50I can do better.
12:52Cunanan missing.
12:54Cortiza comes up with the rebound.
12:58Toromano.
13:00Pagsadar.
13:04And the leg comes up with the rebound.
13:08Barba.
13:10Villegas for the tie.
13:12Ah!
13:14Rich Villegas with a
13:16three-point bomb!
13:18Anton, what can you say
13:20when your best scorer
13:22on the team
13:24gives up?
13:26When your best scorer on the team
13:28gives up an open shot
13:30to see the open teammate
13:32waiting for the open shot
13:34and then translating
13:36into a wide open three.
13:38Tiwala.
13:40That's just complete trust
13:42in your brother,
13:44in your teammate right there.
13:46Ato Barba, the number one
13:48scorer in the NCAA,
13:50giving it to Renz Villegas
13:52who ties things up at 85.
13:56What a game!
13:58And what a Sunday!
14:02And I'm loving it!
14:08I'm actually
14:10happy there's a
14:12review right now because
14:14Prince and I have been
14:16calling this game
14:18at the top of our lungs.
14:20This is a chance for us to compose ourselves
14:22for the final minute and a half.
14:24Yes. And you know,
14:26especially if it's under two minutes,
14:28it's a mandatory replay,
14:30a review for the refs
14:32on what they should call.
14:34Wow!
14:36Mclod Guadagna
14:40spraying his right ankle but
14:42he's right there supporting his team.
14:48Coach Gilbert Malabaran calls
14:50a very important timeout. We'll be back.
14:54Pagsantan falls
14:56attacking
14:58to the basket.
15:00Lead is down to
15:022 for Pinild.
15:04Torres
15:06saco. Boom!
15:08Sanchez
15:10cleans it up.
15:12Sanchez.
15:14Mook Tong.
15:16Mook.
15:18Malunod.
15:20Joshua. Harvey
15:22doesn't have the numbers.
15:28This is what I'm talking
15:30about right here. The ladies dressed
15:32to the nines.
15:34Look at those shiny watches.
15:36All the jewelry ready to go
15:38to the mall. They came prepared
15:40for the
15:42small features of Tropa Cam
15:44and of course the cutie cams here at NCA.
15:46Because those are the small exposures
15:48that we're waiting for.
15:50Even the boys
15:52are wearing bling bling. They've got the hats on
15:54the bling bling. They're with their
15:56friends. That's the NCAA
15:58vibe and atmosphere.
16:02Alright Prince, here we go.
16:041 minute 28 seconds to go.
16:0685 all.
16:08Ball of the LPU
16:10coming off a timeout.
16:12Let's see what kind of play
16:14Coach Gilbert Rinoing for
16:16the LPU. If it's going to be effective
16:18or not.
16:20Here we go. Cunanan on the
16:22floor along with Barba,
16:24Montano, Daileck
16:26and Villegas. Ball
16:28to the team captain of the Pirates.
16:30Cunanan.
16:32Six to shoot. Montano for
16:34three. Oh
16:36my goodness.
16:38The Pirates
16:40have an 88 to 85
16:42advantage.
16:44Coach Gilbert
16:46the perfect play on that one because he knew
16:48the EAC will switch
16:50on that ball screen.
16:52They got the matchup that they needed. The big guy
16:54on Montano and then Montano knocking down
16:56that three.
16:58What?
17:00King
17:02Cortiza with a response.
17:04We're not done yet.
17:06I'm still here.
17:10Another death
17:12knock.
17:14Cunanan against Doromal.
17:1645
17:18seconds left.
17:20Montano
17:22attacks the basket
17:24and a foul before the drive.
17:28You know that was a good foul. They still have
17:30a couple of fouls to give.
17:32This is the exchange of three points
17:34Prince.
17:38That was a cold blooded three.
17:40That was a step back three.
17:42Anton and that's one of the toughest shots
17:44na pwede mong itira sa basketball.
17:46Step back three.
17:48He's a dog.
17:50Yup.
17:52What guts.
17:54And that dog came here
17:56to bite.
17:5840.2 seconds.
18:00Time remaining here
18:02in the fourth.
18:06Safe play.
18:08Safe play Anton.
18:12Now they have the big
18:14four on the shot clock.
18:16Cunanan.
18:18Nowhere to go.
18:20DAC has it.
18:22A chance to win
18:24the game.
18:26Bola na kay King Cortiza.
18:32Cortiza gets it
18:34back.
18:38This is what every
18:40player dreams about.
18:42Now
18:44they fouled Prince
18:46because they have three fouls to give.
18:48And he knew that
18:50they're going to foul once he tries to
18:52attack. And I think what he did there
18:54was on
18:56the contact, he threw the ball up
18:58and that's an attempt.
19:00That's going to be three shots.
19:02Dapat.
19:04On that replay, it looked like
19:06a smart play by Cortiza
19:08to make sure he got a
19:10shot up. That's a high IQ
19:12basketball play.
19:14And only the scorers
19:16will know what to do
19:18dun sa mga ganoon na panahon.
19:22Wow. Big decision
19:24right here
19:26from our officials.
19:30And if you're LPU, you don't
19:32want to end this game like
19:34that.
19:36But you know, that was a good
19:38foul, except what
19:40Cortiza did was a better
19:42decision. Because after using the
19:44ball screen, no one in their right mind
19:46would shoot that. But
19:48after the contact, Cortiza
19:50was
19:52so calm
19:54that he was able to make
19:56that decision
19:58of throwing that ball up in the air and looking at the rim.
20:00Prince, I'm
20:02at the edge of my seat right now
20:04waiting
20:06for what the announcement will be.
20:10If this is going
20:12to be three free throws for Cortiza.
20:14You want to know what I
20:16think? Make it
20:18an inbound.
20:22Put some suspense on it.
20:24Three shots!
20:28Wow!
20:30This is what they wanted.
20:32But so far,
20:34this entire game, they're free throws.
20:40King Cortiza.
20:42What a high IQ basketball play.
20:4819 points today for Cortiza.
20:50But
20:52this is his first free throw
20:54attempt.
20:58And he makes the first.
21:00Again,
21:02like what I said earlier,
21:04EAC has been struggling
21:06the entire game with their
21:08free throws.
21:10They are 8-for-22.
21:14Now 9-for-23.
21:16They are making
21:18their free throws when it matters the most.
21:20I like how
21:22Cortiza is making things interesting.
21:24His shots are not swack.
21:26They're flying in the ring.
21:28Oh!
21:32Cortiza is a 63.3%
21:34free throw
21:36shooter.
21:38And he misses the third!
21:40LPU has a chance!
21:42Villegas for the win!
21:44No!
21:46Ah!
21:50The shot was right there.
21:54See? Remember
21:56when we were talking about everything but the shot?
21:58They made a three-pointer,
22:00but there was an offensive rebound!
22:02But the shot!
22:04He wasn't able to
22:06make it.
22:08Hey, again, that was a good fight.
22:10You know, coming from behind,
22:12getting the lead.
22:14It's just
22:16that.
22:18You gotta love it.
22:20This is NCAA basketball, baby.
22:22Imagine winning a game
22:24because of a high
22:26basketball IQ play
22:28that people won't
22:30normally think about.
22:32Perfect, perfect basketball.
22:34I love it.
22:36And you can see Greg
22:38Gunanan.
22:40He gave it his all.
22:42Prince, let's watch.
22:44Cortiza's gonna miss this.
22:46And I think he intentionally missed it.
22:50So Villegas goes up
22:52to win.
22:54And Greg almost
22:56got the putt back to go.
22:58But you know,
23:00that was a good shot,
23:02but he could have taken
23:04one more dribble.
