00:00 and the continued support of the NCAA.
00:03 I hope Will Gossove saw that graphics
00:07 so that he can get some sense of motivation
00:11 to play like the MVP that we know he is.
00:14 Actually, that's a good point.
00:17 You're matching up with JP Magdalianos.
00:19 Nothing against JP, but Will is a former,
00:23 I mean, reigning MVP here in the NCAA Season 19,
00:26 matching up with JP.
00:28 So, you know, you assess yourself
00:31 that you're not really playing random basketball.
00:34 Gortiza dribbles off his foot.
00:39 So, Jericho Halalot providing some pressure.
00:42 Wow, interesting lineup here, JV,
00:46 because Charles followed Jericho and Robbie Knives.
00:50 Yes, and Jericho was out earlier.
00:53 Migs Oxon followed him, but he came back.
00:55 He really gave him a chance. Here's Jericho.
00:58 Corteza.
01:00 You know, it's also unfortunate because
01:04 when we were covering Jericho with Arellano Braves,
01:07 we didn't get to see his full potential
01:09 because he also got injured.
01:11 Oh, okay.
01:13 So maybe this is his time.
01:14 Gortiza, Magdaliano.
01:19 Gortiza, back to JP.
01:22 One-handed jump hook is good for JP Magdaliano.
01:25 You're right, Anton.
01:27 Gortiza is just everywhere right now.
01:29 He's been beating Magdaliano.
01:31 He even got a pensive rebound.
01:32 Halalot.
01:34 Jericho Halalot against Kinnan.
01:39 Halalot.
01:42 Pulls up.
01:43 Those pull-ups are a little bit Giovanni-like.
01:50 Yeah, actually.
01:52 You can see the...
01:54 They really have similar gestures.
01:58 Magdaliano.
02:00 Oh, he pulled him up.
02:01 And Mosa.
02:05 It's as if EAC has abandoned that basketball.
02:09 They've been getting a lot of pensive rebounds.
02:13 Up and under for King.
02:15 Off the glass.
02:16 And it's Benil basketball.
02:18 Let's get this report from Nizel Nirmis.
02:21 Thank you, Anton and JD.
02:22 During their previous games, Coach Charles Trujillo
02:24 commended his point guard, Prince Carlos,
02:26 for stepping up and living up to the role.
02:28 Prince also mentioned to me that he embraced the challenge
02:30 and realized the importance of his role in the team.
02:33 Being the extension of the coach in court,
02:35 to organizing the team to execute their plays.
02:37 Stepping up were the rookies, Jericho Halalot,
02:40 Jesse Arciaga, and Paul Turco,
02:41 who are all showing excellent plays
02:43 and earning the trust of Coach Charles now.
02:45 With the Blazers currently trailing
02:47 behind the EAC Generals,
02:48 will the team be able to continue their winning ways?
02:50 Back to you, Anton and JD.
02:52 That's what they must do because
02:55 I think the theme really for Benil here in Season 99
02:59 is unfinished business.
03:02 And with a lineup like this, JD,
03:04 is it championship or bust?
03:07 Like personally, I would say, yeah.
03:09 It's gotta be championship or bust.
03:11 The pressure is really high.
03:12 But at the same time, you want that pressure.
03:15 Because you've been into the finals
03:17 and you want to go back to the finals.
03:19 They almost have the same--
03:21 I mean, they have the same core going back to Season 98.
03:25 And also, a lot of people will graduate here in Benil
03:28 as we see--
03:29 Wow!
03:30 King Cortiza!
03:31 I don't know if that's a smart move that--
03:33 You'll look at Wilco after you've lived.
03:37 Actually, he even dribbled out.
03:39 He really wanted the three points.
03:44 King Cortiza!
03:46 One-on-one with a reigning MVP.
03:50 Show me who you are!
03:53 And it's a six-point advantage for the Generals.
03:59 Also, Sujin came back here for King Cortiza.
04:04 Yeah, I mean, it's--
04:07 When Coach Jerzan Camiltes was telling me the story
04:10 of how Cortiza came back to EAC,
04:15 I mean, I was with Reyn Ambatak the other day
04:18 talking about this in the coverage.
04:21 Your life can change with what happened.
04:23 Let's say that Harvey Pagsanghan didn't call Cortiza
04:28 to come back and play for EAC.
04:31 Who knows where Cortiza would have been right now?
04:33 Yeah, it's like a domino effect.
04:39 Of course, Harvey Pagsanghan,
04:41 high school player of Coach Jerzan Camiltes,
04:43 serving as residency, will play for EAC
04:46 in Season 100 of the NCAA.
04:48 Wow.
04:49 Another value, another solid player here for the EAC.
04:53 And remember Axel "Doromalov" Arellano,
04:55 he's also with EAC now.
04:57 Oh, wow.
04:58 So EAC is really strong going to Season 100.
05:01 And the ones who will be leaving,
05:04 although the ones who will be leaving are also heavy,
05:06 Nat Cosejo, JP Magollano, and Ralph Robin, actually.
05:11 So big losses, although Cortiza will stay with the team,
05:14 will remain, he still has eligibility.
05:17 So still though, it's a new era here for the EAC.
05:21 Because in our time, they were in the bottom ranks.
05:26 We can see here, the players coming in,
05:29 they saw the system, the culture,
05:31 that Coach Esther is bringing.
05:35 Alright, let's get this sports side update
05:37 on the EAC side with Julia Ong.
05:39 If there's a king who's showing off,
05:43 there's also Ralph Robin, who we can see.
05:46 Do you know, Andoren JV,
05:48 Ralph already gave up his basketball career when he was in college.
05:51 Because for him, he's physically unfit.
05:53 In fact, he enrolled in another school as a regular student.
05:57 He was given a chance to try out here at EAC,
06:00 that's why he grabbed this.
06:01 But since Season 94, he never finished the season.
06:05 Because if he's not injured, reserved,
06:07 or maybe even half, he'll be gone.
06:10 That's why now, his last playing year,
06:13 he only has two wishes.
06:14 Championship, and to finish an entire NCAA season.
06:19 What can you say to Ralph's wishes, Andoren JV?
06:21 Here it is, Julia, this is his chance.
06:24 I would say this is one of EAC's best lineups in years, JV.
06:30 Yes, that's true.
06:31 But Robin's story is amazing.
06:34 From not physically fit playing,
06:36 and then getting ready to go to corporate,
06:40 or getting a job,
06:41 and getting a chance here, playing at EAC,
06:44 and really, really playing well.
06:46 That's very, very inspiring.
06:48 Oh, Oxon.
06:51 Asking for the ball.
06:54 Shoots a three, Mikael Oxon, in and out.
06:58 And, Umpad giving gossips of problems, getting that rebound.
07:03 There are really spurts of this CSB.
07:07 Nothing happens on their play, no one's getting any shots,
07:11 any good shots, even making baskets.
07:14 But there's a time when they suddenly get a rebound.
07:17 Marasigan, rebound, Angeles.
07:22 Angeles, attacking, Angeles.
07:25 With the elevation, just unable to finish.
07:28 Bahupo, gets it to the reigning MVP,
07:32 and Will Gossom comes crashing down.
07:35 Oh, Will Gossom is a little bit shaken up.
07:38 Oxon with the jumper.
07:42 Gossom.
07:43 Oh, Will Gossom, trying a Pat Cosejo-like shot.
07:49 I don't recall Will Gossom taking a lot of those
07:53 one-handed baseline hooks, though.
07:55 Oh, he needs to go stronger like that.
07:57 There's the MVP.
07:59 That's the Will Gossom we know.
08:03 It's an up and down basketball here, Anton.
08:06 The referees are letting the players play a lot of contact.
08:10 As we can see, an end-one nice pass by Miks Oxon.
08:13 This is what we want to see from our reigning MVP, Will Gossom.
08:22 When he gets to the paint, it's either a short two or a foul.
08:26 Benilde ties the game up at 24.
08:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:08 King Gortiza.
09:10 And why not?
09:11 Look at these numbers.
09:12 20 points, 4 out of 9 from beyond the arc, 5 rebounds,
09:16 2 assists, and 28 minutes.
09:19 King Gortiza.
09:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:23 And, of course, the leader who's going to carry this team,
09:29 King Gortiza.
09:30 And he has been providing and stepping up to the plate.
09:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:39 Especially this game.
09:44 He wants the ball.
09:45 He wants to shoot those three-point shots.
09:47 He wants those defensive stops.
09:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:52 Will Gossom, though, missing on the bonus free throw.
09:58 So the deadlock remains at 24.
10:04 Cosejo.
10:05 And there it is.
10:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:09 Oh, Gossom trying to respond.
10:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:20 Back to Will.
10:21 Will, corner three.
10:23 [WHISTLE BLOWING]
10:27 [CROWD CHEERING]
10:30 And that's going to be a foul on Nat Cosejo.
10:33 But this is his signature shot, a catch and shoot
10:38 with one hand from the elbow.
10:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:53 JB, would you believe last season Will Gossom
10:56 attempted 102 free throws?
10:58 102 free throws?
11:00 Attempts.
11:01 Wow.
11:02 It only means very aggressive, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:07 So I mean, if we could see Will with the same type
11:09 of aggression, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:16 Although Will did not start the season
11:19 because he was serving that one game suspension.
11:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:23 Off to a bad start, I got to see Will here
11:25 in the NCAA season '99.
11:27 [CROWD CHEERING]
11:30 And the only shot.
11:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:37 83 throws in six games.
11:41 [CROWD CHEERING]
11:44 Cosejo.
11:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:47 Spin move.
11:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:49 Wow.
11:50 Smallest guy on the floor attacking
11:54 Biggs Oxon with a crossover spin move.
11:56 You know, it's a mystery as to [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:05 Because when I approached him to ask,
12:07 his teammates were teasing him, saying that he's only 5'3".
12:11 5'3".
12:12 And he was telling me he was 5'5".
12:14 So I said, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:16 So let's round it off to 5'4".
12:18 Let's average it.
12:19 Yeah, meet in the middle.
12:21 But it's always like that, if you're going to ask for--
12:23 for anyone, actually, especially for basketball players.
12:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:30 But I'm only 6'3".
12:32 [LAUGHTER]
12:35 Oh, it's a double team.
12:37 Oxon.
12:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:43 [CROWD CHEERING]
12:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:50 So every time he drives, someone is just behind him,
12:53 getting to tap the ball or double it.
12:55 Oxon looks for Will.
13:02 Will backing down, up and under.
13:06 There you go.
13:07 Will Gossel creating his own shot.
13:11 Will should make a run here by himself.
13:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:16 No one is helping when he drives,
13:18 so he has all the space, all the time.
13:21 This is a good start, JD, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:23 And I'm pretty sure Will knows that, you know,
13:30 not his usual self.
13:32 So he needs to pick up, you know, be aggressive,
13:35 get on the board, get offensive rebounds in.
13:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:42 Arciaga.
13:45 And Arciaga gets on the board.
13:48 [WHISTLE BLOWS]
13:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:02 So every time he gets in, he commands
14:07 his teammates where to go to run their plays perfectly.
14:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:15 Gossel.
14:21 There you go.
14:22 Every time Will Gossel has that basketball,
14:26 it's a matchup problem.
14:27 Yes, all.
14:29 And when defenders panic, they foul him.
14:32 Especially [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:35 He has a chance.
14:37 The whole CSB squad has a chance to milk
14:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:43 JV [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:49 [WHISTLE BLOWS]
14:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:53 This might be the best start this season for Will Gossel.
15:01 If he hits this free throw, he's in double digits.
15:04 And there you go.
15:07 It's only a matter of time before Will, you know,
15:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:11 numbers with 20 points, 15 rebounds.
15:14 He can do it easily here.
15:16 It's always a matchup problem.
15:18 Anyone here's an NCAA.
15:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:23 And the coaching staff will give him a high five
15:25 as he returns to the bench.
15:28 Gordiza.
15:30 Ochavo.
15:31 Ochavo.
15:32 Ochavo hops inside.
15:36 Extra pass for JV.
15:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:43 That was a great pass by Ochavo.
15:46 And Ochavo gets the steal.
15:48 Ochavo.
15:49 Robin.
15:51 And EAC can half finish a sordid miss there for Ednilad.
15:58 Back to back misses there.
16:00 Will may have a chance here to get another crack at the basket.
16:04 But Ochavo with that steal and a great pass there.
16:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:12 But with a push from behind, you see the reaction from the EAC
16:17 students.
16:18 That says it all.
16:21 We'll be back.
16:22 Penil is up by five.
16:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
16:27 [MUSIC - "HEROES OF THE WORLD"]
16:31 [MUSIC - "HEROES OF THE WORLD"]
16:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:02 The Benilde of Prince.
17:05 Prince Carlos having his best season in the NCAA.
17:10 And JV, if he can produce these kinds of numbers consistently,
17:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:18 Especially controlling it to [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:21 Not only in scoring, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:24 And the way he evolved, he matured as the season goes on.
17:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:32 Point guard who's going to pick up [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:39 Prince Carlos, as he's showing now, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:43 And he has started all games for Coach Charles this season.
17:49 So that just goes to show.
17:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:54 And there's Robbie.
17:55 Continuation.
17:57 Count the basket.
17:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:02 With that upper body strength.
18:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:08 Prince Carlos.
18:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:18 Point guard, and then off the bench for the second five
18:22 here, Nico Charles.
18:23 And you see Robbie Naive is going to provide the scoring.
18:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:28 And EAC has to be careful here because Benilde
18:31 is starting to settle down.
18:33 And this lead is starting to grow.
18:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:45 And Tez's energy is there, but you're right.
18:48 I mean, his numbers have dipped since the first couple
18:52 of games of the Blazers.
18:55 It's going to be interesting to see how everyone, not only
18:58 Nick, but also Will Gozzle, will start slowly picking up
19:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:03 And eventually picking.
19:04 This is going to be a scary sight to see.
19:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:11 I remember talking to Coach Charles Pugh,
19:15 and they had a busy, busy off season to start the year.
19:20 Coach Charles went to Dubai for a strong group.
19:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:26 Great experience for the guys teaming up
19:28 with other collegiate basketball stars like Jerome Lastimosa.
19:33 And then, of course, guys like Shabazz Muhammad.
19:35 Yeah, NBA players.
19:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:39 You know, guys from the Middle East,
19:41 guys who have experience playing in the NBA,
19:44 and then, of course, the other off season tournaments.
19:46 Then, of course, the incorporation of Coach Raikwator Roman,
19:50 who has a European system.
19:53 So you add all of those experiences,
19:57 Coach Charles admits that it's so hard to absorb all of that.
20:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:08 He's told you, you can't absorb everything all at once.
20:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:12 It's going to take time.
20:13 And it's only a matter of time before everyone,
20:16 Will Gossom, especially Will Gossom and Miggy Cortez,
20:19 to pick up [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:22 And I feel like JB [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:26 Especially with this three game winning streak.
20:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:40 And lastly, we only played for 17 minutes.
20:45 And I like that [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:50 To get the guy going.
20:52 We're waiting for that signature Will Gossom performance.
20:57 And sometimes, JB, I'm sure you know this,
21:00 it only takes one big game for you
21:04 to get your confidence going.
21:05 One big game, one good game.
21:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:10 Past games, it doesn't matter.
21:12 You only focus on one game, one game at a time.
21:14 You're only-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:16 Only as good as your last game.
21:17 And if you're Will Gossom, you cannot accept that stat line
21:27 in the last game.
21:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:31 But we're talking really, really-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:35 It's Will Gossom we're talking about.
21:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:41 MVP Will Gossom here only with double digit already.
21:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:49 Here we have the NCAA season '99.
21:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:53 So we're going to play on the fourth quarter.
21:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:57 Struggles, adversities here for Will and for the Benut team.
22:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:07 It's going to be more aggressive.
22:16 Gortiza.
22:17 Good match up here.
22:18 Gortiza against Oxon.
22:21 Oh, that's clearly a foul right there.
22:23 Asanko just wanted to create contact.
22:26 [INAUDIBLE]
22:27 Juning 2, JP Maguliano.
22:37 We talked about the weight loss journey of JP Maguliano
22:41 from 220 pounds to 198 pounds.
22:45 Wow.
22:46 That's why his numbers have really improved.
22:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:51 He's rebounding, no?
22:52 Yeah.
22:53 22 pounds.
22:56 And long term, that is going to help you a lot,
22:58 especially as players.
23:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:02 If you're heavy, you're going to put more pressure on the knees.
23:08 What was your biggest--
23:10 did you have a goal?
23:14 You wanted to get down to this certain weight
23:16 as a professional.
23:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:40 And Dillac, meanwhile, getting a basket.
23:42 And still here by Gortiza.
23:44 Maguliano with a finish.
23:46 And a look away pass by King Gortiza.
23:49 And don't look now.
23:50 Only one point lead here for CSP Blazers.
23:53 Roby Naive hit a buzzer beater.
23:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:00 And here he is again with the basketball.
24:05 Naive.
24:07 Naive for three.
24:09 Roby Naive with another one.
24:12 It's the same spot there.
24:14 Roby Naive calling his number for that buzzer beater.
24:20 He did it again.
24:21 And the Benil Blazers enter the half with a four point
24:25 advantage, 39 to 35.
