00:00 four-time NCAA champion JV Mocon, and of course,
00:03 at court side, Nizel Nierves and Julia Ong,
00:07 reporting for Benilde and EAC, respectively.
00:10 And Will Gossom is starting this quarter
00:14 as Nat Cosejo hits another one,
00:19 two for two from beyond the arc for Cosejo.
00:22 - Only one point lead here to start off
00:24 the fourth quarter, Nat.
00:28 It's gonna boil down to execution,
00:31 offensively and defensively here.
00:33 (speaking in foreign language)
00:37 Just a one point lead for the Blazers.
00:42 Gossom throws it back out,
00:44 Marasigan looking for Will.
00:46 Wow.
00:50 Will was saying,
00:55 (speaking in foreign language)
00:57 - He's on point.
00:58 - For the start of this fourth quarter,
01:00 execution is on point for EAC, for the generals here.
01:04 Offensively and defensively,
01:05 (speaking in foreign language)
01:09 - Robin, gives the lead to EAC.
01:14 Great play there, spade action.
01:18 (speaking in foreign language)
01:24 Marasigan ties the game back up.
01:27 Otsavo draws a foul.
01:32 (speaking in foreign language)
01:52 - It's a tough ballgame playing extended minutes here.
01:55 (speaking in foreign language)
01:57 Let's get an update on the EAC side with Julia Ong.
02:01 - For the generals, this is a must win game.
02:03 (speaking in foreign language)
02:07 For the last quarter of the game,
02:10 Coach Gerson wants to see the generals
02:12 to tighten their defense,
02:14 execute their plays well and move the ball a lot.
02:17 (speaking in foreign language)
02:22 - Both these teams have identical four and three
02:24 win-loss records.
02:26 (speaking in foreign language)
02:30 At the same time for the EAC,
02:37 (speaking in foreign language)
02:39 That's why we're here.
02:40 (crowd cheering)
02:41 Ralph Robin with yet another triple.
02:44 He is giving EAC a chance to win.
02:51 EAC life here in the fourth quarter.
02:54 - And that's only three three pointers here
02:56 to start this fourth quarter.
02:57 (speaking in foreign language)
03:01 - Otsavo with a rebound.
03:05 Otsavo.
03:09 Wow.
03:13 Kyle Otsavo with the skills.
03:16 Attacking the big men here.
03:18 It was Otsavo.
03:20 (speaking in foreign language)
03:24 Corteza.
03:29 Good move by Vicky Corteza to shoot that one
03:35 over Nak Cosejo.
03:36 It's a big shot to stop the bleeding here
03:39 in the fourth quarter.
03:41 (speaking in foreign language)
03:44 Angeles, Robin.
03:49 (crowd cheering)
03:51 Otsavo drives, gives it back to Baguliano.
03:54 Blocked by Corteza.
03:55 And the Blazers are running.
03:58 Corteza fakes, fires, it scores.
04:03 Vicky Corteza, timely baskets here,
04:05 back to back baskets.
04:06 The same time he shot to my floaters
04:08 and three times already in this game.
04:11 Let's get an update on the Menil side
04:12 with Giselle Nervis.
04:14 - J.B. Anton and J.B.
04:16 Proving their unselfishness on the court
04:18 with everyone getting involved to execute their plays.
04:20 (speaking in foreign language)
04:24 Now is their chance to make their run.
04:29 Showing more aggression in the court.
04:30 All they have to do now is to play up
04:32 to their own standards.
04:33 (speaking in foreign language)
04:36 Back to you Anton and J.B.
04:37 - Standards that are very high.
04:42 And that's the challenge for the Menil Blazers
04:45 this season to live up to the hype and the expectations.
04:50 (announcer speaking in foreign language)
04:53 - They're putting on.
04:55 (speaking in foreign language)
04:58 Especially on this game.
05:00 (speaking in foreign language)
05:02 And three different players, J.B. Baguliano,
05:04 and Nat Paseo,
05:07 Robin hitting those three pointers.
05:09 And that should say a lot for a defense
05:12 (speaking in foreign language)
05:15 Robbie.
05:16 (speaking in foreign language)
05:18 Big time basket.
05:20 - And that's his career high.
05:23 (speaking in foreign language)
05:24 - Career high, 21 points now for Robbie Naive.
05:28 (speaking in foreign language)
05:37 (announcer speaking in foreign language)
05:42 (announcer speaking in foreign language)
05:49 Scoring and assisting here.
05:55 This is a fourth quarter.
05:56 (speaking in foreign language)
06:00 And this is our sixth deadlock in the game.
06:06 Machabo, my goodness.
06:09 What a game here.
06:12 (speaking in foreign language)
06:16 EAC catching fire.
06:22 Here in the fourth.
06:24 And the surprise entry here,
06:32 Doristo, number 22 for EAC,
06:37 making a surprise entry.
06:38 Getting a rebound.
06:42 Machabo, killer crossover.
06:46 Loses the handle, that's a stop for Benil.
06:51 Great defense there by Prince Carlos.
06:53 (speaking in foreign language)
06:58 (announcer speaking in foreign language)
07:03 As we see this baseline, finished by Corteza.
07:10 Good setup.
07:11 (speaking in foreign language)
07:26 Short.
07:27 (speaking in foreign language)
07:32 Too unselfish were the generals.
07:36 (speaking in foreign language)
07:41 Corteza's holding here.
07:43 He's a fourth quarter now,
07:44 especially in his second half.
07:46 Has been providing it with scoring.
07:49 (speaking in foreign language)
07:55 Robbie Naive with three assists in this game.
07:58 To go along with his career high, 22 points now.
08:04 Actually, Sako.
08:06 Gives the lead back to Benil.
08:09 What a game.
08:09 What a game.
08:11 (speaking in foreign language)
08:15 It's all about being in runs
08:17 for the second half.
08:19 You can see Machabo just feeling it.
08:24 Launching a three.
08:25 And now we see a familiar play being run by Benil,
08:31 especially in clutch situations.
08:34 Oxon with a fadeaway, not that time.
08:37 But those are the moments that Miguel Oxon lives for.
08:46 And so does Corteza.
08:52 Ooh, nice pass.
08:53 Josejo missing on that gimme.
08:55 And he knows it.
08:58 (speaking in foreign language)
09:02 And that was a very makeable shot.
09:05 (speaking in foreign language)
09:09 But he's still got the offensive board.
09:13 (speaking in foreign language)
09:20 Angeles, a costly miss from the line.
09:24 Second free throw.
09:35 Two misses from the line.
09:38 (speaking in foreign language)
09:44 Carlos to Sako.
09:48 Sako with a drive.
09:50 Sako, no.
09:52 Corteza.
09:53 (speaking in foreign language)
09:56 Robbie Nivek giving up the foul.
09:59 That's good though, better than a different two points here
10:07 (speaking in foreign language)
10:11 (upbeat music)
10:13 (speaking in foreign language)
10:19 Missing two straight free throws.
10:23 Maguliano with a chance to make up for those misses.
10:27 (upbeat music)
10:30 And this game, just a misstep.
10:37 Missed turnovers, missed shots.
10:41 That will cost the game.
10:42 Flirting with a double-double again.
10:47 JP Maguliano, all he needs is one more rebound.
10:49 But you're right, JP.
10:54 (speaking in foreign language)
10:58 JP Maguliano is dominating here.
11:08 It's a big man position.
11:10 Will Cosom has not scored here in the second half.
11:14 Saddles with foul trouble.
11:17 Oxon, (speaking in foreign language)
11:21 No.
11:23 Carlos with a floater.
11:25 (speaking in foreign language)
11:39 Good deflection by Benil.
11:41 Here comes Miguel Oxon.
11:44 And he'll give the ball to Robby.
11:47 Oxon (speaking in foreign language)
11:51 Asking for the screen.
11:53 Oh, Corteza, not really 100% ready.
11:56 Nivek, (speaking in foreign language)
12:00 To Corteza, Corteza trying to draw a foul.
12:04 Robbing all the way, no.
12:07 Josejo, power dribble.
12:09 Josejo, nowhere to go.
12:11 Ball is loose.
12:12 Ochavo picks it up and he throws a foul.
12:16 What a crazy sequence.
12:21 Both players are down here.
12:23 Nivek Corteza, Ricardo Ochavo.
12:26 That was one of the wildest sequences I've seen all season.
12:35 (speaking in foreign language)
12:39 It was as if there was a lid on the rim.
12:44 Corteza has been down ever since he fell here initially.
12:51 And that ball was also so close to touching the baseline.
13:02 (speaking in foreign language)
13:06 Oh, they brought out the stretcher.
13:14 (speaking in foreign language)
13:18 And that's a good sign.
13:19 Oh, no.
13:21 He's being helped off right now.
13:28 (crowd cheering)
13:30 Well, hopefully we can figure out
13:35 what happened here to Miggy Corteza,
13:37 but we do hope he's all right.
13:40 Visibly in pain.
13:44 (crowd chanting)
13:48 (crowd chanting)
13:51 Hopefully, (speaking in foreign language)
14:06 Nothing serious.
14:07 I can't even tell if it's his quad, his knee,
14:12 or his ankle.
14:12 But he's walking with it.
14:17 So, that's a good sign.
14:19 Now, it's not any major injury.
14:23 (speaking in foreign language)
14:32 All right, let's update our featured matchup.
14:44 (speaking in foreign language)
14:45 These are first half numbers.
14:47 He hasn't done anything in the second half
14:49 because he's been dealing with foul trouble.
14:52 (speaking in foreign language)
14:56 JP Magallano has been solid here.
15:01 He got his double-double, his average,
15:04 16 points and 10 rebounds for the AAC General.
15:08 And the crazy thing was,
15:11 when we showed that featured matchup at the half,
15:14 (speaking in foreign language)
15:18 It appears to be the ankle,
15:40 the right ankle of Vickie Cortez.
15:43 (crowd cheering)
15:46 What a game.
15:47 One point lead for AAC,
15:49 but that was an unnecessary foul.
15:52 And that's their first foul,
15:56 (speaking in foreign language)
16:00 They gotta look to attack more,
16:04 especially (speaking in foreign language)
16:05 They're hitting the three-point shot,
16:06 so (speaking in foreign language)
16:12 Robbie Naive today, a career high, 22 points.
16:16 (speaking in foreign language)
16:20 The AAC making them work for it.
16:24 Oh no.
16:26 Traveling, (speaking in foreign language)
16:33 I credit that to Carlo Chavo.
16:34 (speaking in foreign language)
16:41 He's on that possession as a big turnover there
16:43 for the Rangers.
16:44 And it's also awkward for offensive players
16:48 like Oxon and Carlos when they're being defended by Chavo.
16:53 Oh, very pesky.
16:54 (speaking in foreign language)
17:01 Triple on the way, badly misfiring.
17:05 Josejo picks up the loose ball,
17:08 nearly stolen away,
17:09 (speaking in foreign language)
17:12 Yes, with a rebound.
17:13 Under a minute to play.
17:16 But Chavo stepping back,
17:23 Robin with a drive,
17:24 (speaking in foreign language)
17:28 Runs out of time.
17:30 The AAC generals do.
17:32 So it's going to be Benil basketball.
17:35 Good defense there by CSP Blazers
17:37 just collapsing on the (speaking in foreign language)
17:42 We have a timeout.
17:47 It's going to be Benil basketball
17:49 with a chance for them to take the lead when we return.
17:52 (upbeat music)
17:55 ♪ Look at me now I'm flying so high ♪
18:05 ♪ I can see the whole world ♪
18:08 ♪ Look at me now I'm ready for victory ♪
18:13 ♪ It's my time, my turn ♪
18:16 ♪ Hero, oh, oh, oh ♪
18:19 ♪ Come on ride for the sea tonight ♪
18:23 ♪ There's not so much to say ♪
18:27 42.6 seconds to go.
18:34 AAC had several chances to add to this lead.
18:38 And look at how much,
18:40 how many sequences,
18:45 how much the ball traveled
18:48 to different points of the hard court.
18:50 From left to right,
18:53 just two offensive rebounds.
18:55 (speaking in foreign language)
18:56 And then ended up with that turnover.
18:58 It's just been such a wild fourth quarter.
19:02 Yes, oh.
19:04 (speaking in foreign language)
19:06 If you're the Benil Blazers,
19:08 you've got Gossop, Sampon Naive,
19:11 Prince Carlos will throw the inbound pass.
19:13 And of course, Oxon is on the floor.
19:16 (speaking in foreign language)
19:20 Wow, I am shocked.
19:28 I am shocked that Miguel Oxon passed up that shot.
19:32 (crowd cheering)
19:34 Wow, great defense though by AAC.
19:37 (speaking in foreign language)
19:41 I have been completely shocked
19:54 because all season long,
19:56 Miguel Oxon has had that Mamba mentality in him.
20:00 That he would shoot no matter what.
20:02 (speaking in foreign language)
20:06 So it's now a three point lead for the Generals.
20:10 Benil is on the ropes with their three game winning streak
20:13 in danger of being snapped.
20:16 (crowd cheering)
20:29 Looking at the Benil camp right now,
20:31 it's not Coach Charles throwing up the play.
20:35 It's Coach Carlo Tan.
20:36 I guess (speaking in foreign language)
20:41 especially Coach Charles Chu,
20:42 letting other coaches to lead for that big possession,
20:46 big offensive possession here.
20:48 Coming up next,
20:50 (speaking in foreign language)
20:51 and the San Sebastian College Recoletos Golden Stags
20:54 will take on Jacob Cortez
20:57 and your San Beto Red Lions, Mr. JV Mocot.
21:01 (speaking in foreign language)
21:06 Looking back earlier,
21:13 (speaking in foreign language)
21:17 And then people look down on us.
21:24 Yeah, feeling like we're underdogs.
21:26 So now, (speaking in foreign language)
21:31 (crowd cheering)
21:32 (speaking in foreign language)
21:33 As we see Assistant Coach and former team captain,
21:36 JC Culiar,
21:38 Coach Gerson wants to change the culture
21:40 of the EAC Generals.
21:42 Upside for three.
21:44 (speaking in foreign language)
21:47 For a second there,
21:48 I thought (speaking in foreign language)
21:50 rebound.
21:51 And that's his 13th rebound.
21:54 (speaking in foreign language)
21:56 The confidence
21:57 (speaking in foreign language)
22:00 going back to mix up some for that three pointer play.
22:04 (speaking in foreign language)
22:06 That was a great play.
22:07 That was great execution also for the CSB.
22:10 16 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and a steal.
22:16 (speaking in foreign language)
22:21 Until that.
22:24 Six out of six prior to that miss by JP Maguliano.
22:29 And he has a chance here,
22:31 but a two possession ball game.
22:34 Playing in his final season.
22:42 JP Maguliano does what you just explained.
22:46 Make it a two possession game.
22:48 Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo looking on.
22:52 Chavo called for a foul,
22:54 but EAC is not getting the penalty, JP.
22:56 - Oh, that's a good foul.
22:57 They also have one more to give.
22:59 So, (speaking in foreign language)
23:04 It's gonna be interesting here
23:14 if they're gonna go for the same play
23:16 with the same position they have right now.
23:18 To go for a few points or a quick two.
23:21 (crowd cheering)
23:24 I'm looking at Coach Charles Du.
23:30 And-- - Is axing, yeah.
23:32 To check the time.
23:34 - And not only that,
23:35 is he signaling for an unsportsmanlike?
23:38 - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:39 (speaking in foreign language)
23:41 Challenge.
23:42 (speaking in foreign language)
23:48 Challenge.
23:49 (speaking in foreign language)
23:56 - That's an honest foul there.
24:11 But I guess it's more of getting
24:16 the same play executed here on this session here.
24:20 - Challenge is unsuccessful.
24:22 - Yeah, unsuccessful challenge right there.
24:25 Peniel down by four.
24:33 I think they're looking for that three pointer again.
24:39 Oh, quick two. - Gosum on the inside.
24:42 And that's Will Gosum's first field goal
24:45 since the first half.
24:46 I mean, if only you could just go to Will more,
24:51 he's going to feast in the paint.
24:55 (speaking in foreign language)
24:59 That's a great play there,
25:03 really enough.
25:03 14 points for Will Gosum,
25:09 but saddled with foul trouble.
25:12 (speaking in foreign language)
25:15 The second half,
25:16 so you have this defensive side here for the CSB
25:20 is either a foul or a steal, a quick foul.
25:22 Our NCAA commissioner, Tonichi Pujante.
25:28 (speaking in foreign language)
25:35 On that fourth quarter run.
25:37 (speaking in foreign language)
25:42 With their three pointers.
25:45 (speaking in foreign language)
25:46 Offensive rebounds also.
25:48 Mancom representative, Dax Castellano,
25:51 looking on three game winning streak
25:54 of the Blazers on the line.
25:56 Dr. Jose Paolo E. Campos of EAC.
26:00 Generals looking to bounce back
26:04 after that lackluster game
26:06 against San Sebastian.
26:10 And they lost by 16 points.
26:13 (crowd chanting)
26:15 Gurtiza will throw the ball in play.
26:24 Ochavo, Robin, Cosejo, and Maguliano are in the game.
26:31 Gurtiza fouled by Carlos.
26:37 Good play there.
26:39 (speaking in foreign language)
26:43 And also, you must be, you know,
26:50 (speaking in foreign language)
26:54 King Gurtiza.
27:02 First time at the free throw line today.
27:07 (crowd chanting)
27:10 In this season, a 63.2% free throw shooter.
27:16 (speaking in foreign language)
27:21 It was a forgettable season, 98 for him.
27:26 Was removed from the team, played only six contests.
27:31 And then, (speaking in foreign language)
27:34 Gerson Cabildes comes in.
27:36 Gerson asks Harvey Pagsanhan if Gurtiza is okay.
27:41 Harvey vouched for him.
27:42 (speaking in foreign language)
27:46 He comes back and is rejuvenated.
27:50 (speaking in foreign language)
27:54 A new look then for the EAC generals.
28:05 And literally, a new look for Gurtiza.
28:07 Now, things get interesting.
28:11 Because this is just a one possession game.
28:15 And if it's Benil basketball, they have a shot.
28:19 I feel like Ropey hit the ball before going outside.
28:29 They're gonna review this play.
28:34 (crowd cheering)
28:36 (upbeat music)
28:43 (speaking in foreign language)
29:01 It's a tough one.
29:02 (speaking in foreign language)
29:04 One of our referees was right there in front of him.
29:07 So again, (speaking in foreign language)
29:16 Both these teams, four and three,
29:18 in the team standings.
29:21 (speaking in foreign language)
29:23 We will have the finals rematch between Benil and Netran.
29:27 I'm not sure if Kurt Raison is going to play.
29:31 He sat out the last game with a groin injury,
29:33 which they won.
29:34 So, that's the thing about season 99, JB.
29:38 We don't know which team is going to show up
29:41 on any given game day.
29:43 (speaking in foreign language)
29:45 At the same time, (speaking in foreign language)
29:48 (speaking in foreign language)
29:49 You don't know who's gonna step up,
29:51 who's gonna be--
29:52 (speaking in foreign language)
29:55 MVP performance here in the season 99.
29:59 (laughing)
30:01 This has become a thing.
30:02 Yeah.
30:03 (speaking in foreign language)
30:07 It was LPU, no?
30:11 I can't remember.
30:16 I just remember the night nine.
30:18 But it's just insane how the influence
30:26 could transform into something like this,
30:30 across oceans.
30:32 (speaking in foreign language)
30:34 And it goes all the way to the students of the NCAA.
30:37 (upbeat music)
30:40 (speaking in foreign language)
30:53 It's either Robbie or Nat Cosejo.
30:58 (speaking in foreign language)
31:02 This is if Benil loses this game.
31:08 (speaking in foreign language)
31:12 Wow, it's Benil basketball.
31:21 So they ruled in a jump ball.
31:23 Benil has a chance.
31:27 Wow.
31:28 They had a lot of time to figure out what to do here.
31:31 Interesting, here we go.
31:33 8.3 seconds remaining in regulation.
31:37 Benil has the basketball, down by three,
31:41 ball and a Robbie Nieve.
31:43 Career game for him, a career high, 22 points.
31:46 And what he found in the act of shooting, JV.
31:51 Oh, in an act of shooting.
31:52 He should have given the foul before.
31:56 (speaking in foreign language)
32:01 Ooh.
32:04 It's a good call by our referees here.
32:07 It was in the act of shooting.
32:10 I was gonna say it was a good foul,
32:14 (speaking in foreign language)
32:16 So they have one more foul to give.
32:18 Imagine that.
32:19 (crowd cheering)
32:22 - Our referees will be conducting a review.
32:27 (upbeat music)
32:30 - So he was clearly beyond the nine.
32:33 He was clearly going to take a shot.
32:36 He was clearly hit on the arm.
32:44 - Yeah.
32:45 - I think the contention here for EAC
32:48 was the foul happened before the shot,
32:51 but the hop step, Robbie,
32:54 he was clearly going to shoot that.
32:55 - That's a bad defense there for a shot.
33:00 (speaking in foreign language)
33:04 That possession, he could have just lifted his arm,
33:08 by the challenge, it's a tough shot.
33:11 They're still up by three.
33:17 - Robbie's gotta make all three free throws though, JB.
33:20 He's one for two today, from the free throw line.
33:25 Ooh, he misses the first.
33:28 - He's gonna make the second one,
33:32 and then he's gonna miss the third one.
33:35 (speaking in foreign language)
33:39 - Second free throw is up and in.
33:46 So he's going to miss this one deliberately.
33:50 - Yeah.
33:51 Commanding, instructing,
33:55 (speaking in foreign language)
33:59 - Step on the baseline.
34:06 - That was a good miss.
34:12 - The final EAC Generals.
34:14 - It's been that kind of a season for Will Gosum.
34:23 The way I describe it,
34:29 it's like he's sleeping while he's wide awake.
34:32 Because you know the kind of player he is.
34:38 But what you're expecting to happen is not happening.
34:42 - It's just one thing, he's sleeping,
34:46 he just needs to wake up for his team.
34:49 Not only for himself, of course.
34:50 We can see here,
34:53 (speaking in foreign language)
34:55 really defended well here in our game.
34:58 - And again, (speaking in foreign language)
35:02 was very shocking to me,
35:04 that he decided at the last second to pass up that shot,
35:08 that deflected the pass,
35:09 and it led to a fast break there,
35:11 that put EAC up by three.
35:13 (speaking in foreign language)
35:15 - They run the same play.
35:17 (speaking in foreign language)
35:21 - Three pointers, second half,
35:31 I don't feel like he had a good shot,
35:33 a good look on the three point shots there.
35:37 - So if you're EAC here, Benil has no more timeouts,
35:41 just get the ball, just get the ball in play.
35:44 And don't commit a five second violation.
35:47 We've seen it happen this season.
35:48 They get it to Posejo,
35:52 and that's the ball game right there.
35:54 The EAC generals snap.
35:57 The three game winning streak of the Benil Blazers,
36:00 coach Gerson Cabildes,
36:03 gets his fifth win here in season 99.
36:08 - This is just a new look,
36:11 I've educated EAC generals for years.
36:14 (speaking in foreign language)
36:15 This has been the best team for many years.
36:19 (upbeat music)
