00:00It didn't rain, it was just foggy. When I was parking, it suddenly started raining.
00:05It's a good thing we're always ready with umbrella in the car.
00:30It's Clint's specialty, anticipating those passes.
00:34Still, he continued.
00:36It would've been better if Igliani found the ball earlier.
00:39But his search for the ball was too low.
00:43Backwood falling down.
00:45There it is.
00:46Good!
00:49Bagay has a lot of players here.
00:51It's just like that.
00:52It's all about football.
00:55It's Clint's specialty.
00:57He continued off the screen by Bagay and Hayang.
01:02Here's the rebound by Bagay.
01:04Rebound and one.
01:10Lawrence Mangubat is back in the game.
01:17Mangubat just taking one shot so far.
01:20Three-point play completed by Jude Bagay.
01:31Generals trying to go on a three-game winning streak.
01:40Lucero is trying to get Bagay.
01:43Cuenco.
01:45Basket counts.
01:47He missed his attack earlier.
01:49Here, he continued.
01:52Plastic foul for Cuenco.
01:56Let's hear the news first.
01:59Anton and Bo, you mentioned that during the last game against the JRU Heavy Bombers,
02:03Yam Concepcion was a key piece in propelling his team to victory.
02:07Now when I asked him what motivates him to play the way he does,
02:10his answer was short and sweet.
02:12I only want one thing and that is to make history.
02:16Now, in the absence of JC Recto, Concepcion has had to step up,
02:20especially having to fill in JC's role on the inside and the energy he brings to the court.
02:25Fortunate enough for the Cardinals, he has been successful in that task.
02:28Now speaking of JC Recto, he admits that while his morale was down during the six games that he was out,
02:33he has had full trust in his team, especially Yam and Noel, to win without him.
02:38Although he is still recovering and not yet at 100%, he will give this game his maximum effort.
02:44That's all from Courtside. Back to you, Anton and Bo.
02:47Thank you very much, Kayla.
02:49So, during the first four games that JC played, Mapua was 3-1.
02:54Without JC, they were 4-2.
02:57So, not bad.
03:01The absence of JC Recto is not bad anymore.
03:05His group is still in good hands.
03:18They were just running a simple ball screen on top.
03:20Then, when they switched, Cuenco was attacking.
03:24As simple as that.
03:27Cuenco was just playing.
03:38Then, when they switched, Cuenco was attacking.
03:41You can't leave your opponent free like that.
03:44If it's 3-3, it's very simple for him.
03:47That's his perimeter.
03:56Yes!
03:59Ryan tapping it to Cyrus Cuenco.
04:04Escamiz from way out, offline.
04:10And at this early stage of our ballgame, 11 lead changes for our ballgame.
04:15There goes Bagay.
04:19That's going to be a foul on Lucero.
04:22If earlier, he was successful in his first attack,
04:25that was directed, this is Cuenco's attack.
04:29He's just playing it slowly.
04:31This is the pull-up that he did.
04:40Here, Gortiza and Pagsangan are back in our ballgame.
04:44Both, Escamiz, Cuenco, and Recto.
04:49This is a big problem.
04:52Let's see.
04:54If Recto will still get the touches.
04:58Igneanes is going to try from the corner.
05:00Okay!
05:03He's still trying in his last game.
05:05He was successful in the last game.
05:08I think it was 1 out of 3 in that corner.
05:12But he tried again.
05:14And he was successful.
05:16Actually, Bo, just checking the stats, it was 1 out of 5.
05:19In that last game.
05:20That was your last game, right?
05:23He was still 1 out of 5.
05:26Meanwhile, in our first round,
05:28you'll be happy to see the bigs.
05:32Even Jabonete.
05:36Yes, in the first round, that was their advantage.
05:39Yes, those three points.
05:41They were ahead by a lot.
05:43One to Jabonete, one to Igneanes,
05:45and one to...
05:50another high flyer from Coach Randy.
05:55Ready to shoot. Feet set.
05:57Igneanes.
05:59This is the attack of Mangubat in the corner.
06:01Bakot was left there.
06:14So, Lawrence Mangubat will take the two free throws.
06:21New bases for Coach Gerson,
06:25Manacho, and Jabonete.
06:30We noticed Manacho's warm-ups.
06:33Kobe Bryant used to do this.
06:38With the wristband.
06:41Wristband above the elbow.
06:44Shoot.
06:57Escamiz against Guinan.
06:59Escamiz 3-1.
07:08Coming round number 14,
07:10Escamiz.
07:17Escamiz draws a foul.
07:19He will shoot two.
07:30Look at that.
07:31Estrada is on the move.
07:33Estrada puts it up high.
07:37So, Jimbo is on...
07:3930 points in the first quarter.
07:41Right now, they're just 12 and 10.
07:43Montecito.
07:44Surveys.
07:46Providing the screen again.
07:48A to shoot for that.
07:51Pull-up jumper.
07:52Estrada.
07:53With back-to-back baskets.
07:55There's a lot of miscommunication in the media
07:58about why no one is wearing an open suit.
08:10Goal!
08:14Now, we check out
08:16the girls here on our smile cam.
08:24There you go.
08:28It's a three-point lead.
08:31In a very important match-up between
08:34two teams that
08:36figured in a close encounter in the first round.
08:39Just a three-point win for the Cardinals.
08:43As we expected.
08:45A close game here.
08:47Only four men were able to score
08:49with that free throw of James Escamiz.
08:58We saw Coach Randy Alcantara in his fifth season.
09:06I can only imagine what's going through Coach Randy's mind
09:10knowing that in the five years that he was in the NCAA,
09:14well, five years including this season,
09:16as we see this drive,
09:17he reached the finals twice.
09:20But they didn't win the championship.
09:23So, it's been twice already.
09:25Third time could be a charm for them.
09:27That's why Concepcion said
09:29he wants to make history.
09:32That's the history they're chasing.
09:34That's possible.
09:36It's not bad for your resume.
09:40Out of the five times,
09:42you reached the finals twice.
09:44It's not bad at all.
09:48But all of the coaches,
09:51the teams in the NCAA,
09:52they want to win the championship.
09:54It's different if you're the champion this season
09:58or whatever season you are in.
10:01It's still different.
10:05And the NCAA championship here at the collegiate level,
10:08that's one of Coach Randy's trophies.
10:14As we see this drive by Ochamo.
10:22The unsportsmanlike.
10:29It's a good thing that Manacho is strong.
10:31When he falls, he stands up.
10:33He doesn't back down.
10:36That's why his teammates are getting closer.
10:41Ochamo is looking for a chance.
10:43Oh!
10:44Ouch.
10:47It's a bit...
10:50Not a good...
10:57It's not good.
10:59In short.
11:01He's not even aiming for a foul.
11:05He's not even defending.
11:06He just let Manacho's butt out.
11:11That's why our referees are reviewing.
11:13That's why the EAC retaliated
11:18in that incident.
11:27Oh!
11:31I won't review.
11:33Basket count for Gerald Manacho.
11:39Coach Randy is the underman of the Pigs
11:41because Sabonete is suspended.
11:44Andre Igleani is out of the playbook.
11:47And here's Igleani with the...
11:52unsportsmanlike foul.
11:57You can see it in the review.
12:01It's not a regular foul.
12:07If it's a hard foul,
12:10you can justify it.
12:13But that's not the case.
12:15He was out of the court.
12:18It's a qualifying foul for Igleani.
12:22I hate to say it,
12:23but this is the third straight game I've covered
12:25where a player was ejected.
12:30So you would think that these players
12:32would be more careful in the second round
12:34and with the developments that have been happening.
12:39It's very important for them here.
12:41If you're disqualified or thrown out,
12:43it's an automatic suspension, right?
12:47Unless you have a case to appeal it.
12:49But in that instance,
12:52I don't know.
12:53If he just appealed it,
12:56I don't know.
12:57But it's hard.
12:58The next players are heavy.
13:00Letran is next.
13:01Letran's Pigs are big.
13:04But Sabonete will be back next game.
13:08His responsibility will be heavier.
13:11For sure.
13:12Concepcion again.
13:13There's Concepcion again.
13:15It's good that Concepcion is here.
13:18Escamiz, offensive rebound.
13:21And that's a foul on Ochavo.
13:23Ochavo's asking for a review.
13:26They were asking for a review.
13:28But...
13:34This is the first attempt.
13:40But Concepcion gave an extra possession
13:43to his side.
13:45The EAC should have fast-break.
13:47He deflected that pass.
13:49If he didn't deflect that pass,
13:51he should have fast-break it for the EAC.
13:57That's the only good thing about Mapua.
14:01You can play with
14:03Jovilla and Concepcion.
14:05With the absence of Igliani and Sabonete.
14:08So...
14:10It's still like that.
14:12But not the height.
14:14Not the height-wise.
14:19I wonder what Igliani was thinking with that.
14:22Because he was looking at his back.
14:26He really bent over.
14:31Thankfully, nothing happened to Manacho.
14:35Actually, Coach Gerson's bigs are responding.
14:40Jacob and Manacho.
14:46Clearly fouled by Ryan.
14:50Ryan went overboard with the challenge.
14:52He bounced Pagsanghan.
14:57Pagsanghan is very offensive-minded.
15:01He was able to see the ball.
15:04There's no drive-drive anymore.
15:05It's free.
15:06But Ryan's challenge was really foul.
15:13That's the problem.
15:16Harvey's first Mentes.
15:20But...
15:21They're doing a good job in free throws now.
15:247 out of 10.
15:267 out of 11 with the miss of Pagsanghan.
15:35So he matches his average now.
15:39Of a little bit over 9 points per game.
15:42And we're still here in the second quarter.
15:491 for 3 from the free-throw line.
15:54The defense is tense.
15:56Here's the double-team.
15:57Concepcion took the lead.
15:59Concepcion passed it to Escamiz.
16:01Escamiz draws another foul.
16:06Concepcion could have lay-up that.
16:07But he got bumped in the back.
16:13His takeoff hit was wrong.
16:18It's a good thing he saw Escamiz in the baseline.
16:32Escamiz now with 10 points.
16:37Escamiz and Pagsanghan have 10 points each.
16:42Hubilla is still there in the tunnel.
16:46He's warming up.
16:47He had two fouls.
16:50That's why Coach Randy took him out first.
17:04That deadlock didn't last long.
17:06Chabu attacked them early.
17:11Based on his body language, he can't wait to get back inside.
17:24Concepcion.
17:25Spin move.
17:26Drop pass.
17:27Extra pass.
17:28Mangubat for 3!
17:32Concepcion's attack was good.
17:34He dropped it off to Ryan.
17:37Mangubat was looking for the elbow side.
17:40He got it.
17:49And we're back.
17:51Yes, it's a brand new edition of our awesome plays here in NCAA Season 100 Men's Basketball.
18:00Starting us off at number 10.
18:02Oh, good touch pass.
18:03Medina!
18:05A lefty reverse layup by JRU's main character, Jonathan Medina.
18:11At number 9.
18:12High octane basketball we're seeing so far.
18:20Basic for Kylo Chabu.
18:23This is Kylo Chabu's first attack to get the lead.
18:28This is Concepcion's attack.
18:31Drop pass to Ryan.
18:32It goes to Mangubat with an elbow 3.
18:36The lead doesn't last long.
18:38Two are ahead.
18:39Three are close.
18:40Now, one is ahead again.
18:44This is our 14th lead change.
18:49Usually, those 14 lead changes are for the whole game.
18:54But here, our first half isn't over yet.
18:56With 3 minutes remaining in the first half.
19:01Mochabo.
19:04Pagsanhan.
19:08Manacho, the ball is released.
19:09Gets it back.
19:10Manacho!
19:11There it is again.
19:12Manacho!
19:13The lead is back to them.
19:17Coach Jason's shots are beautiful.
19:19Here's Manacho and here's Jacob.
19:22And prior to this game, Manacho was only averaging 4 minutes per game.
19:27It's been 8 or 10 minutes already.
19:33Extended playing time for Manacho.
19:37Cuenco.
19:38Straight.
19:39And Manacho comes up with a rebound.
19:42That was a beautiful pass.
19:48Coach Jason said, wait a minute.
19:50Just relax.
19:52If the guard is chasing him, he might get caught.
20:00This is Manacho's one-hander in the shaded area.
20:05Caelo Chabo making plays for his team.
20:09Except this one.
20:12But I think it was a good intention for Caelo Chabo.
20:15Chabo.
20:1941-40 in favor of EAC.
20:23Here are the balls again.
20:25They're attacking the switch there.
20:28Escamiz.
20:29Stop and go.
20:30Escamiz!
20:33What a play by Clint Escamiz.
20:35If you look at it, he's gone.
20:36He has nowhere to go.
20:37But he tends to take it all the way there.
20:42A motor in the middle.
20:46Gurtiza.
20:47Oh, here it is.
20:48That's the problem.
20:49That's the third one.
20:52Gurtiza really attacked there.
20:56This is Clint's attack.
20:59Gurtiza defended it.
21:01He was actually looking for a pass.
21:03But he couldn't find it.
21:05This is Gurtiza's attack.
21:09And Gurtiza finally gets on the board.
21:12His first point.
21:14Here in this match, he had 21 points in the last game.
21:18And Ubilia is ready to come back.
21:22Yes, because Yam Concepcion has three points already.
21:31Coach Randy also put in this supermean.
21:34For Ryan.
21:36Here we can test how strong the bench of Mapua is.
21:40Without Igliani and Abonete.
21:42Who will respond to his challenge, Coach Randy?
21:47A free throw again.
21:50Here's Concepcion again.
21:53It's strong.
21:54But they got it.
21:56Ferdinand!
21:58Sorry miss for Ferdinand.
22:03A winning attack.
22:04Blocked by Escamiz.
22:10Too bad.
22:12Concepcion's first rebound.
22:17They already had a chance.
22:20Here's Harvey's attack.
22:25Good block by Escamiz.
22:27Clean.
22:3342 all.
22:35How many deadlocks is that?
22:3716 already.
22:39We only have 16 deadlocks.
22:41We're only in the first half.
22:43Escamiz.
22:45Puts on the afterburner.
22:48Good Escamiz all the way.
22:5615 points for the reigning MVP.
23:02Ubilia.
23:04That's it.
23:09Coach Gilson is really using his bench here.
23:19He should have given him a cup.
23:22Wow, Ubilia.
23:23He knows that Luristo will reach him.
23:27That's why he did it from the top.
23:34Ubilia sinks the first free throw.
23:37He's going for the rebound.
23:39Ubilia is really good.
24:07Here's Pantaleon.
24:22Here's Pantaleon.
24:29He's the one who's been watching Jorteza.
24:37Offense, defense, substitution.
24:39Yes, offense, defense, substitution.
24:43Well, actually, they're still on defense.
24:45But they're preparing for offense if ever.
24:49They can get a steal.
24:51Because they still have 3 seconds left in our game plan.
25:00Jorteza blocked the rebound.
25:06He blocked it.
25:16See?
25:17You can't cage them like that.
25:20You know the brains of these players.
25:25They will create an advantage.
25:29So if that's the case, what's your advice for Mangubat?
25:33You can't cage them.
25:35You need to just defend them honestly.
25:38Because if you cage them,
25:40the time he raised his hand,
25:43you're already fouled.
25:46It also happened before.
25:49Mapuha and JRU.
25:51Lozano was caging Mapuha.
25:54In this point of us,
25:57he just raised his hand.
25:59The referee called foul.
26:03See?
26:04You can't cage the offensive guy.
26:07So...
26:15We can see the entire coaching staff of Mapuha.
26:22What they were fighting there,
26:24they thought that Lozano's pass earlier,
26:27going to the baseline,
26:30was their ball.
26:33They thought it was their ball.
26:36That's why Coach Randy let Lais Camis in.
26:42But it turned out to be the EAC's ball.
26:49So a technical foul called on the coaching staff here.
26:52Improper bench decorum.
26:55But King didn't let the first shot go in.
27:02Here comes the foul.
27:12Another foul for King.
27:28Coach Gerson bringing in some substitutions
27:31for defense here.
27:35Bostanis.
27:36Number 11 in the game.
27:39For the generals.
27:44Mapuha still has 8 seconds here.
27:47Ball to Knip.
27:48Lais Camis zigzagging his way to the basket.
27:51Within!
27:57And that will do it
27:59for the first half, Coach Gerson Cabildes.
28:06Very happy with that last defensive sequence.
28:11But they got the stop still.
28:13Mapuha enters the dugout with a 46-44 lead.
