00:00Perpetual will come out with a lot of sense of urgency, trying to fight for their, or for survival here in Season 100.
00:09San Sebastian on the other hand will play with a nothing to lose mindset.
00:14Martin Aguirre, Prince Carlos, all is up, game is underway.
00:17Jon Hamm is blowing by everybody to score the first basket.
00:23As we see, San Sebastian has a fast ball as they start now.
00:27I think that's the strategy of San Sebastian.
00:32Since they're out, they can pass to all the rookies or those who will play next season
00:37so that they can gain confidence for the next season.
00:41That's right.
00:42Coach Arvin Gondeon, thinking of the future now.
00:46Of course, they'll have players coming in.
00:50Like from the juniors team, Macuah and Robins.
00:57They're eager to enter next year for San Sebastian.
01:02But he wants the rookies, you're right, he wants the rookies to challenge
01:07with possibly their starters for the next year.
01:10This is Coach Arvin.
01:12And I feel like, Martin, it's harder for the teams that have nothing to lose to fight.
01:17Because there's no pressure on them.
01:19So they're just going to enjoy it.
01:21It's different when you're enjoying the game.
01:23As in, your performance gets better, there's no pressure and all that.
01:27Yeah, because you just play your game.
01:30You play loose.
01:33And let's see how San Sebastian plays from way out.
01:39Ouch!
01:41See, they're just enjoying it.
01:44It's too far for Paeng Arin.
02:10The crew saw that he had the advantage at the quicker first step as well.
02:15This is JP Boral.
02:16And that's an off-hand finish with the left.
02:19When you see the development of JP Boral, this is going to be a prospect in the pros.
02:26When he graduates 4th or 5th one.
02:285'6", 3", 6'4", he's got the length.
02:31And the handles.
02:34Our fourth side reporter did a good job.
02:37Let's see the report.
02:38The flow of the water.
02:39Go ahead.
02:40Martin and friends, we all know that letting go is not that easy.
02:44And the San Sebastian Golden Sags cannot agree any better.
02:48Their theme coming into this ballgame is to let everyone know that this game is just as important as any other game in this tournament.
02:55Their team captain, TJ Pellegrico, is telling the story.
02:58Although their remaining games won't seal a championship,
03:01they maintain the mindset that every game here at NCAA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
03:06Aside from this, they are determined to finish strong.
03:08For their graduating players, Raymart Escobedo and Rex Gaba,
03:12so that they can serve them well when they pursue their professional careers after NCAA.
03:17That sounds like an exciting ballgame to me.
03:19But in the meantime, back to you, General.
03:20Thank you so much, bro.
03:22Well said right there, especially from their team captain, TJ Pellegrico.
03:28It's hard to go to the NCAA.
03:30It's really hard to go to the line-up of an NCAA team.
03:34So you gotta cherish the opportunity, no matter the situation you're in.
03:39Actually, it's a big achievement to be playing for that college.
03:42It's not just any league, it's NCAA.
03:44It's really hard to be part of NCAA.
03:47So when you're part of the line-up, you shouldn't waste the opportunity that the coaches will give you.
03:54They're really going through a lot of holes.
03:57There are a lot of good players here in the country.
04:23This is Clarence Cruz.
04:25That's going to be his second foul of the game.
04:28As we take a look at this move by Eman Pizarro.
04:32Here's Pizarro, solid first season with Perpetual.
04:36He's established himself as one of the main digs in Coach Co's rotation.
04:42Great push shot.
04:44They're strong.
04:47Pizarro somehow gets it.
04:50And he scores with the outcome for Perpetual.
04:53Dooms to a 9-3 start.
04:55Let's go to this timeout.
05:04Carlos Yulo is well-known for his double gold in Paris.
05:08But did you know that there's a former Carlos who played in the Olympics and became an NCAA?
05:14He's none other than Carlos Caloy Loizaga, who won the San Pedro Red Lions three times in the 1950s.
05:22Loizaga played twice in the Olympics,
05:25as well as the Asian Games, FIBA Asia, and FIBA World Championships,
05:29where he won a lot of medals.
05:33Sir Frank Guzzi Jr., Mancom representative of Perpetual.
05:38Right there at the VIP area.
05:41Watching intently here.
05:43Again, Perpetual has a slim chance of still making it to the Final Four.
05:49With a win here, they'll make things definitely interesting in our Final Four race.
05:55But first, they gotta get it done.
05:57And so far, so good for them.
05:599-3 lead. Good start for the Autos.
06:04San Sebastian, on the other hand, after that three-pointer by Paen, could not buy a basket.
06:09Even from point-blank, San Sebastian is in the lead.
06:13Actually, Perpetual likes to use their defense strategy,
06:16with 1-3, 1-4, all on top,
06:18to pressure the guards who are hoping to attack.
06:22Because Boral is so long, it's really hard to pass him.
06:25Oh, nice finish coming from Goho Cruz.
06:28And one coming up for the Super Rookie.
06:32Super Rookie.
06:35Look at this finish. Goho Cruz on the break.
06:38And a set-up by another rookie in Axel Manuel.
06:43That's a nice transition play, executed by Perpetual Autos.
06:47Goho Cruz, even though he's just a rookie,
06:50his role has increased now.
06:52Because at the start of the season, we know his capabilities.
06:56He's a scorer.
06:57But when Sean Orgo left,
06:59I noticed that Coach Olsen is always the main point guard.
07:04In other pressure, he's the main point guard of the team.
07:07Because he's the extension of the court.
07:09So as a rookie, and you're not really a point guard,
07:12a big challenge for Mark Goho Cruz.
07:14And for sure, he'll grow as a player because of that.
07:17And you know that. You know that feeling.
07:19Because you went through that transition yourself
07:22when you were part of the Blazers.
07:25But we also saw that Goho Cruz adjusted a bit.
07:29In the first few games, Sean Orgo wasn't there.
07:32When he was trying to be a facilitator,
07:36he struggled a bit.
07:38He turned over a bit.
07:40But he got it as the game goes by.
07:44This guy is a quick learner.
07:46Talking about Mark Goho Cruz.
07:48Can you imagine doing all of this in just his first season in the NCAA?
07:53As we see Sean Orgo here,
07:55he got operated on that shoulder a few weeks ago.
08:01Now he's on his way to recovery.
08:04Filibrigo, Cruz.
08:07Look at the defense here of San Sebastian.
08:10For Bedua rather, but Filibrigo breaks it with that floater.
08:15First two points for Filibrigo after a few tries.
08:20Abbe is from mid-range.
08:22No goal.
08:24It goes back to San Sebastian.
08:27But you see for Bedua,
08:29this is what we love about them this season,
08:31as we see Filibrigo.
08:33The defense here for Bedua doesn't have a way.
08:3911-5 lead.
08:41DJ.
08:43Aswan.
08:45They go to Paeng at the left flank.
08:48Left hander is Ruki.
08:50He's got Pizarro on the switch.
08:52Are off to the right.
08:54Rebound, ending up with Pizarro.
08:56Four rebounds now for Pizarro.
08:59He's been cleaning up on those boards.
09:04Boral.
09:06Against Cruz, who has the two personal fouls.
09:08John Abbes sends it out.
09:10Manuel from the corner.
09:12Manuel knocks it down.
09:17But here's Boral.
09:19I can see his development.
09:21Because I remember in past seasons,
09:23he's more of a big guy.
09:25He's always in the paint.
09:27He's also a spotter on the perimeter.
09:29But now he can slash.
09:31He can bring down the ball.
09:33And he can penetrate.
09:35He's like a wing.
09:37He's a more complete player now.
09:39That's part of Boral's transformation this year.
09:41As Bintol scores the baseline jumper.
09:45Actually, the ball is going down.
09:47It's just a high pass.
09:49If it was Umpad, he could've scored that.
09:52He didn't have to jump.
09:54He's just good at reading.
09:56Cruz Bagaran comes in for the first time.
09:59Here's the co-captain of Perpetual.
10:01Along with Jericho Nunez.
10:04I like the rotation of Cocho in the front line.
10:08Nunez is going to replace Pizarro.
10:11Both are solid.
10:13Both are solid picks.
10:15Payengarit attacks.
10:17Payeng sends it out.
10:19Bintol for 3.
10:232 on 1. Good steal.
10:25Nunez.
10:27Shielding the defender away.
10:32And there is a 16-7 start for the Altas.
10:36Gaban Brothers.
10:38And Raymark Escobedo getting ready to check in for Coach Arvin Burleon.
10:42Graduating players in Escobedo and Gaban.
10:45Ooh.
10:47Good pass.
10:49Good steal.
10:51Here comes Goho Cruz.
10:53Goho Cruz.
10:55Nice!
10:57Gets the whistle.
10:59Here it is.
11:01Four players are going to play for San Sebastian.
11:05Oh, actually five players.
11:07Paroga, Velasco, Escobedo, and the Gaban Bros.
11:12Montemayor in for Perpetual.
11:17Here's Pasqual.
11:21He was right behind the line.
11:23At least one leg was right behind the line.
11:27For Perpetual.
11:29For San Sebastian.
11:32He wasn't called.
11:34He wasn't seen.
11:36John Abis to the free-throw line.
11:38Actually a season ago, it was actually Abis
11:41who was a better scorer and had more balls in Perpetual
11:45compared to Bora.
11:5010-point advantage.
11:52Largest in the first.
11:56Manuel said that no one is holding on to the ball.
12:00But it will stay with San Sebastian.
12:05Let's give a round of applause.
12:0610-point lead by the Autos.
12:15The first thing that comes to mind
12:17when talking about the NCAA is basketball.
12:20But even in other areas of strength,
12:22the NCAA will still fight.
12:25Look at the outstanding player,
12:27Chess Grandmaster Eugene Torre,
12:29who is already a Hall of Famer.
12:31The owner of College of St. Benilde,
12:33who is a Season 92 Men's Volleyball Champion and MVP.
12:36John Vic de Guzman,
12:38who won a silver medal in the SEA Games.
12:41His schoolmate, Agatha Wong.
12:44Let's go back to our match.
12:46We are inside the timeout,
12:48called by Coach Olsen.
12:50His team is looking good,
12:52as we see their remaining schedule here.
12:54JRU.
12:56One more game for Coach O.
12:58JRU, November 12.
13:00But look at the report card.
13:04Round 2 for Perpetual Autos.
13:07Only two wins in the second round.
13:11So far, they are 2-5 in the second round.
13:13And it's a must win for them now,
13:15because their last game was against JRU.
13:18So, I feel like they have a better chance
13:20in getting that win.
13:22So, the fact that they need to reach the Final Four,
13:25they need to win these last two games.
13:27I just hope that they can beat
13:29the guys from CUMEAC.
13:31Let's go.
13:34The maximum wins of Perpetual.
13:36Eight more.
13:38They can finish the season at 8-10.
13:40And then, they'll just wait and see.
13:42That will be the result of the other teams.
13:44But once there are nine wins in CUMEAC,
13:48they will automatically have no chance.
13:50That's right.
13:51And the closest to that is LBU.
13:53LBU, right now.
13:56So, San Sebastian
13:58turns it over after the timeout.
14:01Justin Thompson.
14:03Another brother of former NCAA MVP,
14:06Johnny Thompson, is in the game.
14:08Pagaran underneath.
14:10Nice break coming from Perpetual.
14:12Perpetual was able to break their press easily.
14:1819-7.
14:21Arroga.
14:22Straight away, three.
14:24No. Escobido.
14:27All aboard.
14:30And it'll stay with San Sebastian.
14:32Nothing working so far for Bastet.
14:36As we take a look at this play,
14:38coming from the outpost.
14:40It's lost underneath.
14:41And at the end, here's Trish Pagaran.
14:47Escobido.
14:48Thought about it.
14:49Crossing over. Hang time.
14:52Wild shot for Escobido.
14:55Daba.
14:56Connects from long distance.
15:01That's badly needed by San Sebastian.
15:03For the graduating players of San Sebastian,
15:06Kapat and Escobido,
15:08those were your last two games this season.
15:10So, even if you're out, show your best.
15:12Because you don't know who's watching.
15:15Maybe someone's scouting you from the pros.
15:18So, you really have to put in your best effort
15:21every game.
15:22That's right. Pour everything out.
15:24Last two games in NC.
15:27And again, this is their main showcase.
15:30This NCAA season.
15:34Meantime.
15:35This is a mix.
15:36Gabat.
15:37Holding the trigger and hitting the target.
15:41Previously for San Sebastian.
15:43Their second triple of the game.
15:44They're two out of seven.
15:46They're coming off.
15:48A nice game against LPU.
15:50At least from the outside.
15:52It came with a loss,
15:53but they were nine out of thirty-seven
15:55from long distance.
15:56Outgunning the LPU pirates in that matchup.
16:00Here's Inigo.
16:03Inigo Mayor.
16:05Backup guard.
16:06Here's Coach O.
16:08Still has ways to go here in the NCAA.
16:11But a good size at the guard position.
16:15Actually, this is a good opportunity for the guards of Perpetual.
16:18To step up.
16:19Especially since their main goalie is gone.
16:21Sean Orgo.
16:22So, they really have to be ready.
16:24If they haven't used it much before.
16:26Now, they have to be ready mentally and physically.
16:29Because they expect to score a lot.
16:33That's right.
16:34Here's their 1-3-1.
16:39Got to stick with San Sebastian.
16:41With a fresh four-team to work with.
16:45Here's Ralf Gabat.
16:47Or Paulo Gabat.
16:48Actually, their strategy is good.
16:491-3-1.
16:50Knowing that San Sebastian,
16:51their strength is three-point shooting.
16:53Their three-point shooting is good.
16:55Oh!
16:56Riggs Gabat.
16:58Gets fouled after draining a three.
17:01So, four-point play coming up.
17:03The strategy is good.
17:05But Gabat got three points.
17:08Helzano followed.
17:11Helzano is long.
17:13So, Gabat caught him.
17:16Gabat's shot is good.
17:18He's a jump shooter.
17:20And he completes the four-point play.
17:22Seven points off the bench for Riggs Gabat.
17:25In just two minutes of action.
17:2914-21.
17:312-1 press for San Sebastian.
17:34Pagaran.
17:35A while ago, Pagaran missed the press.
17:38Here, they're going to half-court.
17:40Pagaran from the corner.
17:42Nothing there.
17:43And this is going to be a foul on Escobedo.
17:48Who was right behind Helzano in that rebound sequence.
17:54Not good for San Sebastian because
17:56they're already on a penalty.
18:00So, Angelo Helzano
18:02at the free-throw line.
18:04This is Helzano.
18:06Our first game of the season, Prince.
18:08He had a lot of minutes.
18:10For Coach Olsen.
18:12But, maybe in the middle,
18:14they became Nunez and Pizarro.
18:17The other bigs also stepped up.
18:21Angelo Helzano, of course,
18:23has a lot of promise.
18:24Good passing big.
18:26And the good thing about the Perpetual bigs
18:28is that they're very selfless.
18:30They do the dirty work.
18:32Box-outs, simple, hard screens.
18:34They're a big help to the guards
18:36in the Perpetual team.
18:38They played their role well in the team.
18:40Oh!
18:41Almost missed.
18:42Gabbat got it again.
18:44And this is going to be saved outside.
18:50Perpetual's ball here.
18:5126.
18:540.8 seconds left in the first.
18:57Justin Thompson.
19:00Being pressured by Escobedo.
19:02Stolen by Gabbat.
19:03Gabbat finished with a left ball.
19:08Last shot opportunity for Perpetual.
19:10So, here.
19:11The press clicked.
19:12Oh!
19:13Bad foul.
19:16Escobedo went for it.
19:19He's momentum.
19:20Right?
19:21He's momentum.
19:23Second foul for Escobedo.
19:25There.
19:26He was tempted there.
19:27He saw the ball.
19:29He went for it.
19:31And he knew it.
19:32Yeah.
19:34He knew it.
19:35He went for it right away.
19:36Montemayor.
19:37To the line.
19:41It's a penalty for San Sebastian.
19:43This is the tendency of this team.
19:45They foul a lot.
19:46Yeah.
19:47Sometimes, they're over-aggressive
19:49when it comes to their defense.
19:53Second one.
19:55Missed.
19:56Gabbat gets it.
19:575 seconds.
19:58One more chance for Bastet.
20:00Gabbat will handle it.
20:02Gabbat, the feed.
20:03It didn't reach.
20:07So, that's how we will end the first 10 minutes of action.
20:10It is Perpetual.
20:11Ahead by 8.24 to 16.
20:14When we return, we'll give you the rest of the first half.
20:17Okay, guys.
20:18We'll be back on NCAA Season 100.
