00:00This is Ato Barba, but in their last game, he only scored 8 points.
00:05He was limited as the defense was really focusing on him.
00:08That's right, Anton. He had a quiet game with just 8 points,
00:11but normally he's averaging 20 points a game.
00:15So a bit quiet game for him, so let's see if he can recover from this game.
00:18And as we can see in the letter, Pao didn't start, and he didn't play last game.
00:24So let's see if he's 100% in his condition right now.
00:27Well, this is a good development for Letran, a guy who has been
00:31working in the shadows, so to speak.
00:34Kobe Monge, with the entry of Jimbo Estrada, and of course, Deo Cuau's emergence,
00:40along with Kevin Santos, we can't really say much about Kobe Monge.
00:48But he's a guy with a lot of potential as well.
00:50Great physical attributes to really make an impact at his position.
00:58Cuau short on his first triple try, and Cuau smacks the ball away from an LPU player.
01:07You know, this Cuau, he's really hard to stop.
01:09Because he's really a jump shot, he's a three point, so that's really hard to stop.
01:14As we can see, a wild pass there from Montecilio.
01:17Paolo bumping Santos, and Santos says, nope, that's not going to happen.
01:22You know, if you see Kevin Santos in the pass break, you're going to go hard for that layup.
01:28Because, you know, as we know, Kevin Santos is going to block the shot.
01:33As we said in our pregame, you're in a danger zone
01:36when you enter the paint with Santos in it.
01:39Santos all the way!
01:40As you were saying, Anton.
01:43And he really improved on his three point shot also.
01:45I was surprised that he was able to get three points this season.
01:48So, Kevin Santos is now a complete package.
01:53The future is looking scary in the NCAA as Santos continues to improve.
02:01Imagine having Santos in a billionaire inside the paint.
02:05That's really dangerous for other teams.
02:08All right, let's get our first court side report from Riri Cannon.
02:13Anton and friends coming into this Saturday ball game after losing to the defending champions.
02:18What is expected from the Electoral Knights' head coach, Alen Ricardo, in his game
02:23is to help everyone and to keep the hustle inside the court.
02:27He added that it's good to get the ball back to them when they keep on hustling,
02:31converting 50-50 balls and rebounds into fast break.
02:35Now, going against the number one sporting team, Ayan Kayteam, Captain Pao Habib Yonar.
02:39It's all about maximizing the materials that they have.
02:47Would it be a bounce back win for them this game?
02:49Or will the Electoral Knights learn something new today?
02:54Thank you very much, Riri.
02:55Well, it's always going to be a learning experience,
02:58especially for teams with a lot of young players.
03:02Villegas all the way.
03:04And there's Pao Habib Yonar, who sat out the last game
03:11because he was not feeling well.
03:15Back in uniform today.
03:19Montesillo to Cuauhtémoc.
03:23Still 0-2 for Cuauhtémoc.
03:28Gunanan.
03:31Pulls up.
03:34A little bit short on that attempt.
03:42Kobe Mon is playing a big man right now.
03:45That's different.
03:48But a big man who could shoot from the outside.
03:50Just a little bit short.
03:54So Santos playing to 5.
03:56Monje playing to 4.
03:59Montano.
04:01And there's Santos with a rebound.
04:04And Guajao picks it up.
04:05Oh!
04:06Passes it to the wrong guy.
04:08And Villegas strikes down the loose ball.
04:15Villegas steps back.
04:16Montano.
04:18Hand off for Greg.
04:20Roll to find.
04:22Montano.
04:23Fade away.
04:25Good read for Gunanan.
04:26He saw the roller, Gal Montano.
04:28No follow-up for Montano.
04:30And he found him.
04:31A good shot for Gal Montano.
04:33Estrada.
04:34This handles the basketball.
04:36Villegas to Gunanan.
04:38Gunanan.
04:40To Paulo for 3.
04:42No, Santos with a board.
04:48This guy Estrada, he's really hard to stop.
04:50Especially when he's on the perimeter.
04:52But you know what, Anton?
04:53He's the main guy on the let-run.
04:55But he's also number 1 on the turnovers this season.
04:59So you're right, sir.
05:00With great power comes with great responsibility.
05:05As we see that shot, it was a bit forced.
05:09The shot clock was winding down.
05:10Estrada going for that one-legged runner of the 3.9.
05:19LPU off to a good start.
05:21I see former King Pirate Inok Valdez watching live.
05:27And Valdez is clapping his hands as Avila scores.
05:31LPU races off to an 8-point advantage.
05:48Medina for the first time.
05:51I thought it was short.
05:52No, the follow-through was straight.
05:54Medina in the big zone.
05:561-3-1.
05:56Sebastian trying to get into their zone of offense.
06:00JRU wants to get that shooter loading on the corner.
06:05Wow, Rebundo staring down.
06:24Our live coverage here on GTV Simulcast on Heart of Asia continues.
06:34This is NCAA Season 100, Siglo Uno, Inspiring Legacies.
06:38We have the NCAA Policy Board President Attorney,
06:41Ruperto Laurel of Lyceum of the Philippines University.
06:46There you go.
06:48Great start for the Pirates.
06:50And, of course, the former King Pirate Inok Valdez.
07:04You know, the thing about Inok, I fondly remember
07:09that he and Jacob Cortez were really going at it.
07:15Yes.
07:17And then, eventually, Sanbella overcame their twice-defeat disadvantage.
07:21Oh, I remember.
07:21A few days later, he was in the starting lineup in the professional ranks.
07:26Wow.
07:40I don't know if there's any other player in recent memory that,
07:43a few days after playing his last game in the collegiate level,
07:47that's a starting lineup in the professional ranks.
07:55One of the best.
07:56I'm surprised he didn't board.
08:13Avinas.
08:14Challenging Santos.
08:17Avinas was bodying up, but Santos still bothering him.
08:25Not using the screen.
08:26He can shoot that.
08:28Santos moves closer.
08:30Short.
08:32Make a feel.
08:35No foul called.
08:36Oh, what a pass by Santos.
08:39Kobe.
08:39Good sidestep.
08:40Santos with a quick back.
08:43And that's what he does.
08:44Both backs.
08:45Check on chance.
08:46Check on chance points.
08:47Offensive rebounds.
08:49That's Kevin Santos right there.
08:51Look at Santos on the trail.
08:58And if you're Lycerium, Anton, you need to locate Kevin Santos all the time.
09:02Because he will always go for the rebound.
09:08Substitutions here made by Coach Alan Ricardo.
09:11Paua Villanar is now in, as is Jace Miller.
09:18Jace Miller, a different style of point guard.
09:23Plays a different style as a point guard.
09:31Now, LPU calls a timeout.
09:32They are up by five.
09:41The shoot gives it to Montano.
09:49To the corner, Guadagna.
09:50Fourth to shoot.
09:51Guadagna.
09:52Fires a jump bar.
09:54It's good.
09:56Muakluk Guadagna.
10:00Arellano will try once again.
10:02Five seconds.
10:03Basti Valencia from the tree.
10:05No good.
10:07And now, LPU Pirates.
10:10Survives another close game in this NCAA Season 100.
10:16Winning.
10:39Hey, that's Mark Denver Omega.
10:47Former Perpetua big man.
10:49Oh, wow.
10:58So, Mark Denver Omega serving his residency.
11:01So, bright future for them.
11:19So, the rule is in the NCAA, if you transfer from an NCAA school to another,
11:24you don't lose a playing year, right?
11:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:27So, if that's the case,
11:28He's been in Perpetua for three years.
11:30He has two with Latran.
11:31Two more with Latran, yes.
11:34Latran's in a good hand when it comes to the center big position.
11:45Imagine that next season, Santos and Omega.
11:49Wow.
11:49Together.
11:51Estrada with the O-Ref.
11:52There you go, the back shot that you were talking about, Anton.
11:56That's his shot.
11:57The best in the NCAA when it comes to angles.
12:01And Santos again, leading the break.
12:04Javi Linar.
12:06Back shot again for Estrada.
12:08This time from the other side.
12:21Moralejo, the hero in the last game.
12:27Barba off on the first shot.
12:28Here's Estrada.
12:32This is a good match-up.
12:33Estrada Villegas.
12:34Villegas, pesky defender.
12:38G-Boy.
12:40On the move.
12:40Estrada.
12:44This guy's almost unstoppable.
12:47He's going to try again.
12:49Not that time.
12:51Kevin got caught.
12:52I love the aggression.
12:54Estrada.
12:55Short.
12:56It's not a bank shot, Anton.
12:58And Miller with the interception.
13:01Miller to Santos.
13:02Watch out.
13:03Santos with the finish.
13:05Good fast break point there for Natranz.
13:07Miller giving up that drop pass to Kevin Santos.
13:18Barba.
13:20In and out.
13:21Santos with another board.
13:22It's still a win for Barba.
13:25Santos has six rebounds and seven points.
13:28Impressive.
13:29We're only in the first quarter.
13:32Good seal for a billionaire.
13:34Take advantage of that.
13:39And that's what he does.
13:40Play physical.
13:41And if you're Natranz, you're very lucky to have a billionaire to have that kind of player
13:45that's very physical.
13:47And will get into the heads of your opponent.
13:49That's really big.
13:51You know, I wanted to ask you about Paujo Billionaire because as a billionaire.
13:56Yes, sir.
13:57You didn't compete.
13:58But of course, he was always trying to get in the head of Will Gossel.
14:03Well, that's his role and it kind of worked.
14:07So you would say you were also annoyed.
14:09I was really annoyed with this guy.
14:11But Paujo is still my friend.
14:13That's why it's nice to be friends.
14:14But if you're an opponent, you're really annoying.
14:17Wow.
14:19And Estrada comes up with a rebound.
14:46I feel like Paujo Billionaire is pro already.
14:59Well, we all thought he was going to go pro already.
15:04But it's back for one final run.
15:17Nuna played really well also last game.
15:19He grabbed a lot of rebounds.
15:20I think eight or nine.
15:21And that really played a huge part.
15:23But that's it.
15:24They still won.
15:25Going against Antetna.
15:27Estrada step back.
15:28Fade away.
15:30Shield point.
15:30Estrada is on point.
15:33Even I don't know how to stop this guy because he can go left or right.
15:37When it comes to the perimeter, he's very stoppable.
15:40We see Barba with that sidestep.
15:42First two points for Ato Barba.
15:45They're going to need him today.
15:46Ato Barba.
15:48Go back, Lord Guadagna.
15:50Miller.
15:52Oh, that's the second foul on Ato.
15:55That's huge.
16:02The step back.
16:11Wow, this is a huge development.
16:13Barba.
16:14The LQ's top scorer.
16:16The NCAA's top scorer.
16:20Two personal fouls already.
16:22And Miller takes the first of three free throws.
16:26It was a bad foul because no one was going to go to Miller.
16:31And it was a tough shot.
16:32So he didn't really have to foul.
16:33The players forget that there's one more.
16:51We're really active trying to box each other out.
16:54And the referee was like, hold up, hold up.
17:03Third free throw.
17:10Miller sinks it.
17:123-0-3.
17:16Last shot for Lyseum with a second left.
17:23Bang.
17:24That was close.
17:26Looked good.
17:28But at the end of one, LPU trails.
