00:00That's the motivation, the battle cry for Mapuha, and look at this, Chris Hubilla jumping up at center, and he wins the tip, how about that?
00:10You want your most athletic guy to be involved in that jump ball.
00:17T-back, hangs in the air, and scores right away for Arellano.
00:21Wow, what a fight.
00:23What a counterpunch by Arellano.
00:29Escamez goes up for the first shot of the game, misses, and then T-back goes all the way.
00:34Falling head for that flex action.
00:41This obviously floppy, this attack.
00:45Aggressive drive by Mangubat, a little bit too strong.
00:49Here comes Miller, Miller stops, pops, and connects.
00:54And it's nice to see Dre Miller get the starting knot.
00:58This is the return after that turnover, if I'm not mistaken.
01:10Escamez steps back, too strong, Mangubat with a rebound and putback.
01:16A little bit more freedom to crash the boards, here's Lorenz Mangubat.
01:23T-back, hangs in the air, he's a dog.
01:28And Dre Miller is feisty as well.
01:32But what about this rookie right here, Lorenz Mangubat?
01:36Rookie veteran as well, when he was recruited, coming out of Sasaki.
01:43He played one year for Mapua.
01:48So, he's used to playing in big games.
01:53He's crazy.
01:59There's a foul away from the ball.
02:03So, unneeded contact by Igliani.
02:08Alright, I did mention earlier that Kayla Afabda was able to speak to our coaches.
02:13Kayla, what did the coaches tell you?
02:17From upsetting one season 9-9 finalist to facing the other just four days later.
02:22It is once again going to be an underdog meets powerhouse team situation for the Chiefs.
02:28Now, Coach Chico Manabat reminded the squad to always put the system first and get points where they can.
02:34They need to capitalize on getting points on the field.
02:38On behalf of Mapua Cardinals, Coach Randy Alcantara reminded us not to look at the standings.
02:44Everyone is preparing and we need to respect that.
02:47Although J.C. Recto will continue to sit out for this game,
02:50you can expect that the Cardinals will be working double time to defend the pace.
02:55But for now, it's time for the Chiefs to take a break.
03:07Get the rebounds and limit turnovers.
03:09All for now, back to you Anton and Coach Havard.
03:12Meanwhile, Mobilia errant pass to Escamiz.
03:17And here comes Concepcion.
03:21Igliani unable to handle that pass at the rate that we are playing.
03:26This pace favors Arellano.
03:29There are a lot of transition opportunities.
03:34And they are able to get more defensive stops and switches.
03:48It's okay to report that J.C. Recto is still not playing.
03:52Recto averaging 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game.
03:58And throughout their winning streak, 4 of the last 5 at Mountain Stadium,
04:03J.C. Recto has been hobbled by an ankle by Mountain Stadium.
04:10Gotta check on their training staff.
04:13To see what kind of injury he has.
04:16Because he's been playing for a long time.
04:18He's only played 4 games so far this season.
04:21Averaging 19 minutes per contest.
04:23So we know that he's a big loss.
04:27But other players have stepped up for Mabuha.
04:31T-Mac.
04:33So Escamiz and Ongotan are guarding here.
04:38Mangupat gets denied by Ongotan.
04:43Concepcion met by the defender.
04:46Good defense by Libang.
04:49Walling up right there.
04:51Long and 12 seconds.
04:54Good help by Ongotan.
05:04And during our post-game interview with Coach Chico Manabat,
05:08he was telling us about how T-Mac himself told Coach Chico that he's ready to step up
05:14and take a bigger responsibility for Arellano.
05:17And he has been backing it up.
05:21How he plays.
05:22How strong he is.
05:23And even though he's small, he doesn't give up.
05:28Igleane falling down.
05:31And Pinoya picks it up.
05:35Pinoya.
05:40Ongotan.
05:43Jump hook.
05:45And Concepcion comes up with a rebound.
05:47But as we can see, the ball is already entering the interior of Arellano's defense.
05:56We'll see if they'll still hit the high-low when a person swings.
06:03Yeah, I'm looking at JL Kapulong right now.
06:08He looks like a baby just waiting to be given a chance to play.
06:14He's got that puppy dog eyes waiting to be unleashed.
06:20And it's a tough matchup.
06:23Who will be our big man?
06:24Alin Liwag and Kapulong.
06:26They're the only two with that size.
06:27So definitely, coaches need to scheme.
06:31So there are adjustments.
06:32Double?
06:34Help?
06:44This Mapua line-up is...
06:50is a puzzle.
06:52Because they don't have that big man that you were just explaining.
06:58Oh, Pinoya!
07:00Getting the lucky bounce.
07:02And Mavi Pinoya was conditioned.
07:04He lost to it during the season.
07:06Look, he's looking good right now.
07:08And his finishes are more athletic.
07:10And the way that he has been handing the basketball,
07:12it's like there are four wing players.
07:15Escamiz.
07:17Mangubat.
07:18Pulls up.
07:20Right in between the eyes.
07:25Of Dre Miller.
07:27So six points for Lorenz Mangubat.
07:29One end one and one three-point shot.
07:32Oh, Pinoya going backdoor.
07:34Outsmarting Jovilia.
07:36Escamiz accelerates.
07:38Leaves the ball for Jovilia.
07:40Jovilia too strong off the glass.
07:44T-Mac on the attack.
07:46Straight to the rack.
07:48Defended by Igliani.
07:49Good defense there.
07:50One on three.
07:51Could have gotten a better shot, but...
07:54He'll take it.
07:56He'll take it.
07:57He'll take it.
07:58He'll take it.
07:59He'll take it.
08:00He'll take it.
08:01He'll take it.
08:02He'll take it.
08:03Good shot, but...
08:05He'll take it.
08:08Escamiz, no foul called.
08:12Miller, cross court pass.
08:14T-Mac for three.
08:16In and out.
08:17And he has the green light.
08:18That last game, he shot 23 times,
08:20if I'm not mistaken.
08:23Or 22 times.
08:24That's a huge number for NCAA standards.
08:29All right, we have a timeout.
08:31Medina leads Bapua 8-7.
08:49Medina for the first time.
08:52I thought it was short.
08:53Not a direct follow through.
08:55Medina.
08:56This is a big zone.
08:57Medina and Sebastian trying to get into their zone of offense.
09:01JRU wants to get that.
09:08Mr. Frank Guzzi.
09:09I'm not used to seeing him in that shade of blue.
09:14It's probably an NCAA jacket from last season.
09:17It's got the JRU colors.
09:19Of course, he's the man comm rep for Perpetual.
09:23Who will be in action later.
09:25Looking very impressive this season.
09:28Very tough.
09:30Under new leadership,
09:32Coach Olsen-Rosella.
09:35UN Kamay is now in,
09:38as is JL Capulong
09:41for Arendana University.
10:04Capulong.
10:05Pass deflected.
10:07Here's Cuenco.
10:09Cuenco on the move.
10:11Offensive rebound and a foul on Capulong.
10:15No box out right there.
10:17Getting an extra serving.
10:24Is this a free throw?
10:34Mabuhay!
10:36Mabuhay!
10:38Mabuhay!
10:40Mabuhay!
10:41Mabuhay!
10:42Mabuhay!
10:45Mabuhay lost two of their centers in Bonifacio and Soriano.
10:50But it seems like they've gotten
10:54a factory of athletic undersized pigs.
10:57Well, they're not undersized.
10:59Maybe it's just their stature.
11:02Because he's a rookie,
11:04like 19-year-olds.
11:06But Jabonete is a little bit older.
11:10Spent a time,
11:13a fraction of a time,
11:14with Safi as well.
11:17He's a veteran now.
11:18But the ones they got,
11:19Concepcion, Ryan, Igliani, of course,
11:21improved a lot.
11:23Athletic big men,
11:24like Joven Soriano.
11:26You just need to rebound and run
11:29so you have a foundation in the pig patch.
11:31That's the main defense in the pig patch.
11:36Malencha.
11:38Malencha.
11:39Over to the other side.
11:42Here comes JL.
11:44Missing on his turnaround jump hook.
11:48Bakale,
11:49to Cyrus Cuenco.
11:52Jabonete from the outside.
11:54Short.
11:55Jabonete.
12:00Tamay gets him.
12:02Hernal, baseline drive.
12:04Loses the handle.
12:07Fadeaway.
12:09And Jabonete with the board.
12:12Our pace is fast.
12:14We're surprised.
12:15We're still in the first quarter.
12:18Good drive.
12:19And Jabonete finishes at the rip.
12:22Sticky.
12:23Around the rim.
12:24Finishing.
12:25Jabonete.
12:26When he moves,
12:27he's not that nimble.
12:28But his strides are long.
12:30So he can reach the spots.
12:34That's a good follow, Ryan.
12:35That's a good matchup.
12:38He's sneaky.
12:39Jabonete's handle is good.
12:44He can control everything.
12:45Especially going to his right.
12:47He knows how to dribble.
12:49Controlled.
12:51Let's watch the matchup.
12:53Ryan and Hernal.
12:55Even Concepcion and Hernal.
12:57He's so aggressive.
12:59Especially when he rebounds.
13:01It's a good thing our referees aren't calling him.
13:03You'll see later.
13:08The ball is sticky when he rebounds.
13:12Kapul is creating some space.
13:17This should be their destination.
13:19They were very successful against San Beda
13:23when they were hitting JL Kapul.
13:26When he's this deep in the high-low,
13:28this is what's different.
13:30JL is pushing him.
13:32Because in the last game,
13:33when he got the ball,
13:34it was just a turn-in shot.
13:35He pushed it to the far left.
13:37Jump-hook.
13:38That's his game-winning shot.
13:39He pushed it to the far left.
13:40Jump-hook.
13:41As long as he can't find a solution,
13:43he has to go to his destination.
13:46I think the difference with this game is
13:48the defenders are smaller.
13:50That's why he tries to dig his shoulder
13:52to the chest of the defender.
13:55Yeah, that could be one.
13:57He's so wide.
13:59High-ball.
14:00High-low.
14:01Catch-and-shoot.
14:02You just have to chin the ball.
14:03The referees will jump on you.
14:07He's so big.
14:08He's a pro.
14:13Steps back.
14:16Bryant with the rebound.
14:18Back-tally.
14:20Oh, Ryan.
14:21I told you, that's a good match-up.
14:22Crashing the boards.
14:25Second deadlock of the game now.
14:28Shovel pass.
14:29And Ryan draws another foul.
14:31Edward Ryan is okay.
14:33He got two offensive rebounds.
14:35Then, he got a second trip to the free-throw line.
14:39This is a big thing for him.
14:40This is the drop pass he got earlier.
14:42He got a reward.
14:46The extra possessions that your bench can give you
14:50is a big thing.
14:51Especially for a game that would put a premium
14:55on high possessions.
14:56Because when you're up against Aureliano,
14:58that's how it is.
14:59Unless you dictate the tempo
15:01that you'll just walk the ball to them.
15:04Which hasn't happened in the NCAA.
15:06How many days have we been here?
15:07How many game days have we been here?
15:0919.
15:10In 19 days, I haven't seen any first cuts.
15:13Letrana and Sanbeda are walking their offense.
15:16But for the most part,
15:18we're really up and down.
15:23Right after the tip, it was up and down.
15:27Abiera.
15:28On the move.
15:29Abiera glides to the basket.
15:33Abiera.
15:36So somebody who has been playing lights out
15:40last game.
15:41Two free points.
15:43And one layup in the fourth quarter,
15:45if I'm not mistaken.
15:48His confidence is sky high right now.
15:52Abiera.
15:53He's wearing a shooting slipper.
15:57The players are crying.
16:00Some of the coaches are like,
16:02if your game is bad,
16:04I don't want you to wear a slipper.
16:16Escamiz.
16:19Seven on the shot clock.
16:23Cuenco.
16:25Nothing but the bottom of the net on that three.
16:30And Cuenco puts Mabua on top by three.
16:45Tumantano to the corner.
16:47Guadagna.
16:48Fourth to shoot.
16:49Guadagna.
16:50Fires a jump bar.
16:51It's good!
16:54What good Guadagna!
16:57Arellano will try once again.
16:59Five seconds.
17:00Basti Valencia from the three.
17:02No good!
17:10Alright, let's check in with our cuties in the crowd.
17:16Selfie first.
17:19Create that content for the day.
17:23Put that entry in.
17:27And yes, the Arellano crowd is full as usual.
17:36And we have the nonchalant ones in attendance as well.
17:45Arellano down by three.
17:48We haven't seen Ern J. Jeronimo yet.
17:51He's coming off a career high.
17:53Twelve points.
17:55Played a big role.
17:57Especially in the last two minutes.
17:59In their win against Sagbeda.
18:04Capullo.
18:07Triple on the way of Vieira.
18:09Misfiring.
18:10J.L.
18:11There it is again.
18:12The defense is trying to get it.
18:14But that's how it is.
18:16If you hit the ball from the inside.
18:18Old school basketball is old school.
18:21But if you hit it with your big man,
18:23who knows how to miss from below.
18:27He'll really attract the help side defenders.
18:29And if you get four of them,
18:32you'll be able to score.
18:34You'll be able to score.
18:36You'll be able to score.
18:38If you're lucky,
18:39you'll be able to get four people in the shaded area.
18:42You're sure you'll have two free teammates.
18:44So you'll just have to choose how to kick out.
18:48And Capullo is good at attacking.
18:50So the referees will keep calling for fouls.
18:52Especially when they see the guards going crazy.
18:57That's exactly what happened there.
18:58Bakkale
19:00slapping the arm of J.L. Capullo.
19:09Look at the defense of Borromeo.
19:12That's pressure right there.
19:18Cuenco
19:19creating a little bit of space.
19:22And Bakkale steals it away from Capullo.
19:25Dominance.
19:27Dominance.
19:29Dominance.
19:31Dominance.
19:33Dominance.
19:35Dominance.
19:36Dominance.
19:38Oh.
19:40Bakkale drops it down low to Ryan.
19:42And Ryan is fouled again.
19:44Quality minutes by Edouard Ryan.
19:47Quality minutes.
19:48He's just there in the dunker spot.
19:50He's just getting a rebound.
19:52Then he drops the ball like that.
19:54He's challenged.
19:57These are the guards of Biggs.
19:59Rather than Aureliano.
20:01Boris Mangubat replacing Djeko Bankale.
20:06He's the only one left.
20:11Maverick Vinoya coming in.
20:15Vinoya has lost a lot of weight.
20:19He's big.
20:21Did you notice?
20:22Because we cover him every day.
20:24If you compare his stature when the season started.
20:27To his in-season shape.
20:30You can see that he's more comfortable playing from the outside.
20:34Well, you're the strength and conditioning coach.
20:36So you can see the difference.
20:38And that's what you do.
20:39You need to put in a lot of weight in the off-season.
20:42So that in-season, even if you can't lift.
20:45You run and run.
20:46Someone will follow you.
20:51Another possession for Mabua.
20:58Abonete.
20:59Oh.
21:00A sweeping hook.
21:02That's a nice looking hook.
21:03Everything but the shot.
21:07Don't see that often.
21:09Check this one.
21:12Mabua in the zone.
21:15Abiera here.
21:17Confidence.
21:18On that shot.
21:20They're looking for an outside shooter now.
21:22With Abiera.
21:25Aureliano is up by two.
21:32Bounce pass.
21:33Mabua Abonete with a finish.
21:35Good move and soft touch around the basket.
21:38He's like a veteran.
21:40Simply, simply.
21:43Agus Cam is with a steal.
21:47Vinoya blocked it.
21:49And Aureliano is in the penalty.
21:54Good zone buster play.
21:56Pass it on the elbows or in the base.
21:59Extra pass by Mwenco.
22:02Just enough space.
22:05And that's short.
22:09So Escamiz has a chance to get on the board.
22:13Usually it doesn't take him this long to put some points up.
22:21Oh.
22:23Missing on the first.
22:25And that's shocking to me as Escamiz is one of the best free throw shooters in the NCAA.
22:33Shooting 84.2% here in season 100.
22:44Geronimo and Estacio are now in for AU.
22:50Estacio is big too.
22:52Estacio is big too.
22:55What is this? Listed 6'5"?
23:00Looks like 6'4"-6'5".
23:02Well, when you have that Chicago protein, you are going to get that size.
23:08Abiera again!
23:12Second free pointer.
23:14Eight points coming off the bench for Abiera.
23:22Escamiz.
23:24His team down by two.
23:26Escamiz pulls up over Kapulong.
23:29Second foul by Kapulong.
23:36Look at how far beyond the 3.9 Abiera is.
23:41Confident nay.
23:43Nabigyan na na chance last game.
23:45To knock down big shots.
23:47Big shots in binawang.
23:48And now he is getting more looks and more playing time.
23:54Gano man yan eh. Mahaba ang season. You will get your opportunity.
24:19Three for four now.
24:21From the free throw line is Escamiz.
24:34Geronimo.
24:41The double cubs.
24:42The double cubs.
24:44Geronimo gets it back.
24:46Ball swing. Abiera.
24:48In and out.
24:50Estasho.
24:52Loses it. Escamiz from way way out.
24:55And he nearly got that shot to fall.
25:02But at the end of the first, things are back to square one.
25:07It is our fifth deadlock.
25:09You're watching NCAA season 100 right here on Heart of Asia.
