00:00Season 100 is officially underway, and the first possession of the tournament goes to the LPU Pirates, the host school.
00:10Atobarba launching the first attempt, rebound by the new starting point guard of Sanpeda, sophomore guard Nigel Gonzalez.
00:31And that's a good sign for a first game.
00:33And that looks like a much polished pull-up shot by Nigel Gonzalez, who only shot 28.3% from beyond the arc for the entire season, 99.
00:46And again, we talked earlier about what Sanpeda looks like while warming up, and we're both bad at it, so I can say that the vibe they had earlier,
00:58you can see that their preparation wasn't just for show, and they're showing their new set of skills.
01:07And Prince, just from the eye test, they look like they are in tremendous shape as Guadagna responds with his first basket of Season 100.
01:17This game is so exciting, you can see the top players of our college schools here in the Philippines to battle it out.
01:26RC Kalimag knocks down a three back-to-back triples to open Season 100 for the Red Lions.
01:34I won't say I called it, but I did.
01:37RC Kalimag, well he's starting, not Richie Kalimag.
01:42RC wearing jersey number 13.
01:45Brothers, number 3.
01:48You know, that feeling of being brothers in a team, I experienced that.
01:52But for us, there were three of us.
01:55And that's one of the things that I won't trade for anything, because that's one of the highlights of my high school career.
02:03Definitely priceless moments for you as a family, and of course, for the Kalimag family.
02:09You as a family, and of course, for the Kalimag family.
02:13As LPU's Gael Montano knocks down his first triple of the season.
02:22Ball to James Payosing, the Finals MVP from Season 99.
02:28James Payosing with a sauce.
02:31The ball was played before the layup.
02:36Barba.
02:39Wow, the defense of the San Beda players.
02:44Aviles, under goal stab, looking solid.
02:49Genesis Aviles, now playing in his third season here in the NCAA.
02:57The score is 8-7, San Beda leading by one.
03:01What an offensive rebound, and the finish.
03:06James Payosing averaged 12 rebounds per game in the Finals.
03:14And again, that's one of the things that he's really good at, and he's looking for every game.
03:20That rebound, from the corner.
03:24Ball is loose.
03:26Ball is loose.
03:29Montano pulled an error pass.
03:32What a foul called on Celso.
03:41You know, what I want to show these players is the classic Big Man.
03:46The Big Man who's standing at the bottom, showing great footwork, up and under, fakes, hooks.
03:53That's what's missing now, but who knows what we'll see.
03:59I'm sure, because you have Coach Norman Black as San Beda's team consultant.
04:08Gonzalez, Andrada, with the board, returned to Nigel.
04:14Nigel throws it out to R.C. Kalimag, to reshoot Kalimag.
04:17Kalimag.
04:21And the ball will go back the other way to the LPU Pirates.
04:35Gunanan.
04:39Montano, handing it off to Barba.
04:43Greg Gunanan, the new team captain of the LPU Pirates, playing in his fourth year.
04:49McLaude, draws the foul, and he will head to the line.
04:5910-7, our tally, in the early goings of our opening game, on opening day of NCAA Season 100.
05:10And to all the viewers of NCAA, speaking of viewers, it's J.J. Alejandro.
05:18J.J. Alejandro, former Red Robin.
05:21Yes, he's watching. Thank you so much, J.J., to all the viewers of NCAA.
05:27This first game between San Beda and Lyceum is so hot.
05:31And of course, we're so proud of all the NCAA alumni, like J.J. Alejandro,
05:40who started his basketball journey with the Malayan Red Robins,
05:44and then, of course, represented the national team as the youth captain, and now playing in the pros.
05:50And, of course, RJ Hazul and CJ Perez were also here earlier.
05:54CJ Perez is actually right there, under the basket, with his family.
06:01And based on what I can see, this LPU, they're going to start putting pressure on the full court,
06:06which this team is well-known for in their defense.
06:10Ryan Sahonya, his first shot as a San Beda Red Lion in the NCAA, and it is money.
06:19I still remember my first shot in NCAA. It was a reverse.
06:31Classic Prince Rivero.
06:34It was a reverse.
06:36Sahonya.
06:38Jommel Puno, now in the game.
06:41He is expected to make a major leap in his second year in the league.
06:46Yukian Andrada, the new team captain.
06:51It's his time now.
06:54And he forces LPU to call a timeout. San Beda on top in the first quarter, 16-9.
07:06Santos once again.
07:08De Los Santos.
07:13Flip in, plus the foul.
07:16Seven points now for Guillaume, and a chance to add on to his total.
07:21This is De Los Santos, in control, even in full speed, JV.
07:25Exactly, Martin. In control, this is JL De Los Santos.
07:28Every time, every procession we see here, not in a hurry, but very fast, and good reads every time.
07:34JL De Los Santos.
07:37We can do this.
07:43Welcome to the NCAA, Brian Sahonya.
07:48And then, moments later, the new team captain of San Beda, and the player with the highest percentage from downtown in Season 99, Yukian Andrada, drains his first triple of Season 100.
08:01Can you imagine, Andrada shot 39.3%, for a big man, that's remarkable.
08:09Yes, of course, of course. For a big man who shoots from the outside, that's a big thing for a team.
08:15Because you can spread your players, your opponents, you can spread them, and you have more space for your guards to create.
08:23Thank you very much to our viewers, Anton Ross, working alongside Prince Rivero, and we also welcome back to the broadcast team, reporting at courtside for her third year, Christine Sanagustin.
08:36Christine, welcome back.
08:38Thank you, Anton. Always the next man up, that's the mantra of San Beda Red Lions and LPU Pirates, coming in to their first game of the season, with both teams having key losses, but with major and significant comebacks as well.
08:50Both teams are 100% confident this season, and despite this confidence, some members shared their struggles, like JM Bravo, who shared that he has a permanent spinal cord injury, which prevented him from training because his whole lower body was completely crippled for a while.
09:11Red Lions team captain Yuki Yanandrada shared that it took more than three months to work on their chemistry, and for their team to be glued into one. You see, both teams fell down 99 times, Anton and Prince, but both are making sure to stand up 100. All for now, back to you guys.
09:26Thank you very much, Christine. JM Bravo averaged 10.1 points per game, and 6 rebounds per outing, so if he's not 100%, that is a major concern for LPU.
09:39It's a huge loss, they don't have numbers. And those 6 rebounds, it's not easy.
09:46Second triple of the season for Yuki Yanandrada, he is starting to heat up.
09:52Speaking of, you mentioned earlier, what does it mean for a big man to be able to shoot outside, what does he give to his team? The space.
10:01Imagine now, his guard is coming out to give his teammates the space to create. It's so spacious.
10:07Inside pass, another basket from another new Red Lion, Menard Soncuya.
10:21The recruits are not running out. This is the Sunveda basketball program, one of the best in the country.
10:32Again, we talked about Sunveda earlier, Anton, that they are one of the teams that has a lot of players.
10:40Ever since I started playing basketball, Sunveda is known to have Team A, B, C, D.
10:46And for you to be able to make it here, imagine what you have to go through, and the hard work you have to do to reach Team A.
10:55This is really the best of the best.
10:58And another new recruit in the Lion's Den, wearing jersey number zero, Benny Estacio.
11:07A transferee from the Green Archers, played one year there, so he has four more years of eligibility here in the NCAA.
11:18Estacio. Estacio goes back down low to Soncuya. Cross court pass, Puno.
11:31Oh! Just a little bit short on that shot.
11:38And Jomel Puno with the interception.
11:42Remember last year, Puno told us that his idol is Lamelo Ball, and he wants to play the point guard position.
11:50So we're getting glimpses of that right now, Prince.
11:53Yes, he's really showing us, he's showcasing his dribbling skills.
11:59Again, they say, everything but the shot. If you shoot that, it'll be better.
12:05That was a good move.
12:10Lead pass.
12:16Classic inbound plays.
12:19They gotta stay alert.
12:21Here it is, it looks like Sanbeda is pressing.
12:26And with the rotation that we are seeing so far in this opening day, they have the bodies.
12:32And up to their third group, you know, and you'll see, we saw earlier, how much of a condition they are.
12:40That you can say, they can sustain that the whole game.
12:46Look at the defense.
12:50Tough shot by Bravo, Puno.
12:55That's good deflection there by Gordon.
12:57Pena Fiel, oh! Muffs the layup.
13:04And you can't afford missing those kinds of shots against Sanbeda.
13:10A team that rarely commits mistakes, and right now, the Red Lions have a 21-9 advantage.
13:17Look at this, he did this to Sean Umari before.
13:21That's the hardest defense.
13:24The one where you turn around and then full sprint.
13:26How about this move?
13:28Urjay.
13:30Crossover.
13:32Losing seed in the process.
13:35And then nailing the pull-up J.
13:38How about this?
13:39Perfect.
13:41Now you see now.
13:43Now you know.
13:45That's right.
13:47Welcome, mga kapuso.
13:49The opening day of NCAA Season 100, Siglo Uno, Inspiring Legacies.
13:56And these are the supporters of Sanbeda.
14:00And of course, the Lyceans are also here to celebrate their first ever hosting of the NCAA.
14:08And it's happening in Season 100.
14:12Okay, Anton, I'll just summarize what happened in the first quarter.
14:16This Lyceum, they have a goal.
14:19They have a goal.
14:21They have a goal.
14:23They have a goal.
14:25They have a goal.
14:26That's basically what happened in the first quarter.
14:29This Lyceum, they have 1 out of 8 3-pointers.
14:331 out of 8.
14:35In that 8, in their 13 attempts in the first quarter, 7 minutes, 8 from the 3.
14:41They only had 1 shot.
14:43And this Sanbeda, they have 5 out of 6 in the 3 points.
14:4883.3%.
14:50That's basically the story of the game.
14:53And LPU for them to take a lot of 3's is a little bit questionable
14:58considering they were ranked 6th in the league last year.
15:02Sanbeda was number 1.
15:05The best shooting 3-point team in the NCAA.
15:09Sohonya.
15:11Baseline drive. Sohonya.
15:13Short. Sohonya!
15:17Wow!
15:19I think I saw that move.
15:22From you.
15:24I saw it.
15:26I saw it.
15:28I'll tell you what.
15:30A few days ago, I spoke to Jacob Cortez, former King Lion.
15:35And I asked him about Brian Sohonya.
15:37And I said, and I asked him what role will Sohonya play?
15:41He said he'll play the role that I had, being that playmaker for Sanbeda.
15:45And as we can see, he's not just a playmaker.
15:49He's also there inside, getting rebounds.
15:52Imagine a guard who gets the rebound.
15:55A good example of that, Scotty Thompson.
15:58Which is also from the NCAA.
16:02Well, a guy who rebounds like Scotty, I would say is James Payosig.
16:07We saw his rebound earlier.
16:09The wide rebound.
16:10The wide rebound.
16:12If the ball is still high, you'll see it.
16:16You really can't leave it.
16:20Foul.
16:34Well, that will put Lyseum at the penalty.
16:36There is the first assistant coach, Trane Santos.
16:46Another new player.
16:48From the Sanbeda side, Zane Halbuena.
16:58Hails from Laguna and was trained by coach Alex Angeles.
17:03Former team captain of the Red Lions and champion as well.
17:08A member of the assistant coach.
17:11Member of the coaching staff right now.
17:13And Sohonya knocks down another triple.
17:17What a beautiful welcome for Sohonya here at the NCAA.
17:22Renz Villegas.
17:24It's that familiar burst of speed that we see from him.
17:27It's that familiar burst of speed that we see from him.
17:35Estacio, double team.
17:38Halbuena.
17:40Gets it back. Halbuena bounce pass.
17:44And Songkuya draws a foul.
17:47You mentioned earlier, Anton, the role that King Lion Jacob Cortez has.
17:51Sohonya is filling his role.
17:53What can you say so far about his game?
17:56Is it worth it?
17:57Is it worth it to fill the shoes of Jacob?
18:00Well, if we are going to look at the numbers,
18:028 points, 2 out of 2 from beyond the arc,
18:053 rebounds in just 4 minutes and 28 seconds of play.
18:11If he can be consistent,
18:13then I would say that
18:15he has the potential to fill in the shoes of a Jacob Cortez.
18:19If not, more.
18:20More.
18:23And that's also because
18:25this is just his second year playing at the collegiate level.
18:30So not your ordinary rookie prince.
18:33He's got experience.
18:40I'll correct myself.
18:41This is his third year playing at the collegiate level.
18:44Played 2 years
18:46for the Tamarows.
18:48So he still has 3 more years at the collegiate level, including this one.
18:53Imagine how different it is.
18:56The league he played in.
18:58And he will bring his experience here to the other team.
19:03And just like you, Prince,
19:04he represented the Philippines in 3x3 competitions.
19:10Wow, that 3x3 is so tiring.
19:13That's why it's a condition.
19:15If there's something that's more tiring
19:18than 5x5, then 3x3 is more tiring.
19:21You don't know that.
19:45Halbuena to Puno.
19:48A foul away from the ball.
19:49A foul away from the ball.
20:10Well, these kids grew up with the KD generation.
20:15So it's not surprising
20:16if the way they move mimics that.
20:21And of course, we can't forget Kyrie, Steph, and Lebron.
20:27So Kuya Drainz.
20:31The first free throw.
20:34San Beda looks so comfortable, Anton.
20:37The LPU should make them feel
20:42that they mean business.
20:43And of course, that will start with defense.
20:46They need to be able to get stops,
20:48get rebounds,
20:50and limit the penalty in one shot.
20:532 out of 2.
20:56That trip to the line for Menad Songkuya.
21:01Gordon.
21:03Bravo.
21:06Daineng gives it back to Gordon.
21:09Gordon.
21:11Bothered.
21:13Oh, the San Beda defense is suffocating.
21:18And Sohonya with a chance for the last shot.
21:21And you can tell
21:23Sohonya
21:25has got that dog in him.
21:26He wants this.
21:28Sohonya
21:30on the attack.
21:32LPU still has time.
21:36Just a little bit short on that heave.
21:40But a whopping
21:4129 point
21:43first quarter
21:45unleashed by the defending champions
21:48as the Red Lions open
21:50Season 100
21:52against the LPU Pirates
21:54with a 29-11
21:56first quarter advantage.
