00:00Leading the officiating crew, it is Mapua vs. Sanpeda round 2 in season 100.
00:08And the first crack at the basket right away for the defending champions, Sanpeda.
00:14Slight change in the point guard position for coach Yuri.
00:18Coach Yuri opting to go with Benny Estacio in the absence of Nigel Gonzalez.
00:25Wow, sustained an injury.
00:28In the previous game, Nigel could not play here.
00:32This is a big change.
00:33But we've seen Benny embrace the opportunity, Prince.
00:37Especially in their last two games.
00:39And in the game against Mapua, he was the one who got the overtime.
00:43So this is a deserved start for Estacio.
00:45Yes, and you know, last game, Benny Estacio also made two crucial three-pointers for them to get back at least.
00:52And of course, to win their last game.
00:55And I think, he's been effective ever since Nigel's absence.
00:59Although, Nigel is a very big part of their offense.
01:02Because he's the one who controls their game.
01:05But Benny Estacio is always ready.
01:07And that's what coach Yuri told me.
01:09And that's why they brought them here.
01:11Here in Mapua, Mangubat will be tested right away.
01:15Here's Lorenz Mangubat.
01:17He needs to contribute for the Cardinals early on.
01:20And here he is, missing his first shot.
01:22Payosing tracks down the rebound.
01:25Martin, I don't want to get ahead of myself.
01:27But this is Payosing.
01:28I've been waiting for him to shoot for a few games.
01:30And so far, as far as I can see, he's a bit aggressive in getting those rebounds.
01:34And I think that's a good thing for San Veda.
01:36Smartly denied by Andre Igliani.
01:40Who also returns to the lineup of Mapua after a game of suspension.
01:47Yes, and this Mapua vs. San Veda, it's so beautiful to watch.
01:51I've been waiting for this for a long time.
01:53Because their match-up is so beautiful.
01:55In terms of height, in terms of skills, and in terms of experience.
01:58They're almost equal up there.
02:00And I think today's going to be a great day.
02:02That's right.
02:04And another change, of course, in this game is Bismarck Lina.
02:08Because in the game against Mapua, he was just breaking in.
02:11He was just breaking in.
02:13Here, a warm-up, a break-out performance by the center of San Veda.
02:18Here he is with the basketball, Lina.
02:20Makes his move.
02:21And he draws the first foul of the game.
02:24Free throws coming up for Bismarck Lina.
02:28Oh, I like that.
02:29I like that.
02:30Bismarck Lina.
02:31It fits. It's in the name.
02:33All right. First time to spill the tea.
02:36Here's the report of Erin T.
02:38Go ahead, Erin.
02:41It is about the preparation, the sacrifice, and the ability to rise up.
02:45Even when the stakes are high.
02:46For San Veda and Mapua, this mindset
02:49drives them as they head into this highly anticipated match-up.
02:53Coming off from fresh winds last Friday,
02:55both teams know that the true value of victory lies not in the scoreboard,
02:59but in the effort it takes to get there.
03:01On behalf of Cardinals Assistant Coach J.R. Carlos said
03:03that they need to be more consistent in defense,
03:06follow the system, and remain aggressive.
03:09Just to add, the Cardinals practiced here in the Filoil Arena
03:12to prepare for their showdown against the Red Lions.
03:14For Coach Yuri Escueta, the Lions need to stay aggressive on the team
03:18by finishing their defensive plays, securing rebounds,
03:20and lessening the opponent's second-chance points.
03:23Update Tal Martin at Prince.
03:24Betas Nigel Gonzalez is still recovering from a nasal bone fracture.
03:28Despite this, we cannot deny that this match-up
03:30is not just about adding another win to their record.
03:33It is a crucial game that could define their path to the top.
03:35Balik Say No, Martin at Prince.
03:37Thank you so much, Erin Igleana.
03:39Missing the lay-up from the inside.
03:42That is our premise.
03:45Game plan for both coaches.
03:47Coach Randy, Coach Yuri, Penny Estacio.
03:50Perry's the first triple of the game.
04:07Meantime, it is another rookie.
04:10This time, it is Lawrence Mangubat scoring on the floater in the lane.
04:14A good exchange right there between these two teams.
04:17Coach Yuri wants to limit his rebounds when he comes to Mapua
04:22because he recognizes that is one of the strengths of the Cardinals.
04:26One and done for San Veda. Here is Christopher Jovilia.
04:31Mangubat.
04:32They go to Clint Escamiz.
04:34Struggled in their first-round match-up.
04:367 out of 19. Here he is, forcing it.
04:40Nothing there for Clint. Too difficult.
04:42Martin, prior to that play, I like what I saw on how Mapua was very patient in their offense.
04:49They really waited for the one who was watching Bismarck Lina
04:54to set the screen and for them to be able to maximize that two-man game.
04:58They let Bismarck Lina out and they got a very good drop pass.
05:02They didn't just shoot, but aside from that, that was a very, very well executed play.
05:07Pena Estacio training it from the outside to give San Veda the lead.
05:13Over three minutes.
05:15Tonmay here.
05:17In the first frame, Christopher Jovilia.
05:20Mangubat is thinking. He pulls the trigger.
05:23That one rims out.
05:24Ball ending up with Jovilia.
05:28And that's the rebounding prowess of the Mapua Cardinals.
05:31Coach Yuri identifies it in his game plan here
05:35because this Mapua team is pesky and they will crush the boards.
05:40Oh, and remember, Jovilia recently, he almost got triple-double with 19, 10, and 9.
05:46So we know that Jovilia is capable of going inside,
05:51getting those rebounds, and to make sure to give Mapua an extra possession.
05:56That's right. Mapua also out-rebounded San Veda in their first-round encounter, 46-40
06:02with 13 offensive boards as well.
06:05We'll take a look at the replay here.
06:08It's an early review. This gives our coaches a chance to regroup.
06:13But it's only the first quarter, Prince. It's already hot, right?
06:16Oh, yes. What else can we expect when San Veda gets the opponent?
06:21That's right. Let's see what happens here.
06:25That was a ball.
06:27Andrada trying to prevent Jovilia from getting to the ball.
06:32Manoa Bridge, just a regular foul against Yukian Andrada.
06:36That wasn't the coach's review, right?
06:39Okay. That was the referee's call to, okay, that's right.
06:44Jovilia at the free-throw line, a career-high 19 points.
06:52Not only that, almost a triple-double, 19, 10, and 9 for Chris Jovilia.
06:59And that just tells you how talented this guy is.
07:04Just barely scratching the surface, this Jovilia, in terms of his potential.
07:092-for-2 that time.
07:11And Coach Yuri.
07:16We'll call for a ceasefire. They're ahead by a point.
07:19It's a low-scoring affair so far. We'll be back.
07:29We own the future.
07:31The NCAA and GMA joined forces in 2020 in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic
07:37when all face-to-face events were banned.
07:40But even if other leagues canceled their seasons,
07:44NCAA Season 96, Rise Up Stronger, continued.
07:48Almost all sports events were held online, including the opening ceremony.
07:54There was also a virtual chess and taekwondo tournament
07:57and a live basketball and volleyball skills challenge
08:00that was still followed by health protocols.
08:03That was the NCAA in the first century.
08:06In Season 99, I Am My New Heroes of the Game,
08:09in the first century, NCAA also had OG heroes.
08:14Not only did sports legends and famous celebrities become the fruits of NCAA schools,
08:20but also the national heroes of the Philippines and the former president.
08:26A product of the San Juan College.
08:28Fred here inside Phil Oil.
08:30Medista.
08:32And of course, here are the students of MAPUA in attendance,
08:37spending Family Day with us.
08:39Oh yes.
08:40Sunday.
08:41Sunday, Family Day for our family members here in Phil Oil,
08:46the family of our players here in Phil Oil. Welcome.
08:49And of course, to all of our fans who are watching NCAA Season 100,
08:53good afternoon to all of you.
08:55I greet all of you.
08:56I have a friend watching right now, JJ Alejandro,
08:59former MAPUA card, cardinal.
09:02JJ Alejandro.
09:04And of course, Kuya Amis, Bro Ralph, Bro Andre, and Carla.
09:10JJ is one of the most annoying players.
09:13Yes, he even told us,
09:15greet me in the game.
09:16Of course, tell Coach Randy as well.
09:18Coach Randy, I love you.
09:20Coach Randy, I love you from JJ Alejandro.
09:24Meantime, we go back to the action.
09:28Almost four minutes having gone by here in the first.
09:32Paiyosing will come out.
09:33Yuki and Hubelya are holding him.
09:35Pull-up jumper.
09:37No good for Andrada.
09:40And he's going to have his hands full against Chris Hubelya all throughout the game.
09:45Igliani, choosing to take it.
09:47Igliani comes up short.
09:49Concepcion, no good on the follow-up as well.
09:52Martin, I like what MAPUA is doing here right now.
09:55What they gave to Yuki and Andrada as defenders is Hubelya.
09:59And we know that Hubelya is very aggressive in terms of defense
10:05because he doesn't lose contact with the one he's watching.
10:08And so far, he's doing a great job limiting Yuki and Andrada to just one attempt.
10:13In four minutes and a half here in the first quarter.
10:16And normally, Yuki and Andrada are aggressive in the beginning.
10:20But now, so far, because Hubelya is watching him,
10:23he can't seem to find a way to get the ball to set up himself and his teammates.
10:29At least Hubelya is a very agile defender.
10:32Yes.
10:33He can't face Yuki and Andrada.
10:35No matter where he wants to go.
10:38And his height doesn't compromise as well.
10:41Because Chris Hubelya is also 6'3", 6'4".
10:44But Yuki is taller.
10:46Yes.
10:47Yuki and Andrada are really sticking together.
10:50Meantime, Mangubat fell down hard.
10:55So they're reviewing if this is going to be an unsportsmanlike foul.
11:00Let's see if Pajosic went for the basketball.
11:03I think he did.
11:04He did. He did. He did.
11:05I think he did.
11:06Based on the angle we have, I think he went for the basketball.
11:10He tried to avoid it, but of course, our offense was on fire.
11:16There was contact.
11:17This is the verdict of our official unsportsmanlike foul,
11:21which is called by James Pajosic.
11:24So, they called it an unsportsmanlike foul.
11:28Maybe because he went under Lawrence Mangubat.
11:33And he had momentum as well.
11:35It looks like he didn't do it on purpose,
11:37but of course, our referees are here to protect our players
11:42from that kind of contact that, even if it's not on purpose,
11:45can cause injury.
11:48So, props to our referees and of course, the management for calling that.
11:53So, Lawrence Mangubat to the free throw line,
11:56scoring Mapua's first two earlier.
11:59Taking care of the first, a rookie from the Mapua Red Robins
12:03who spent a season in the juniors division,
12:06averaging almost 18 points per contest.
12:09This is Lawrence Mangubat, one of the leading squatters
12:12from the juniors season in season 99.
12:216-5. Mapua Cardinals' bonus possession coming up.
12:26Escamiz against Tagli.
12:30Escamiz will send it out.
12:32Igliani.
12:33Igliani is hesitating.
12:35Poveglia.
12:36Out!
12:37Dropped in.
12:38The triple up and over Yuki Anagrada.
12:41Bang, bang, bang.
12:43That's not just for defense.
12:46When you cut, you also block the ball and of course, the space.
12:49He's also capable of shooting close, three-pointers,
12:51and of course, you drive to the basket.
12:54That's great defense shown by Yam Concepcion.
12:56Here's the forward pass.
12:58Mangubat sends it out.
13:00It's with Escamiz.
13:02Igliani.
13:03Concepcion will back up.
13:05Mapua sets the table on the half court here.
13:08It is with Klint.
13:09Escamiz attacks.
13:11Escamiz, no.
13:13One more time.
13:14It's still in for Concepcion.
13:16Poveglia on the third serving.
13:19Draws the foul.
13:21That's what we were talking about earlier,
13:23the rebounding strength of Mapua.
13:26They were able to get two offensive rebounds
13:29to get two extra possessions.
13:31And those kinds of possessions
13:33are important for them to take care of this game.
13:37A rare triple for Chris Poveglia
13:40who also was one out of two
13:42against the Letran Knights.
13:45Chris Poveglia
13:47to take two.
13:49He has been dealing damage for Mapua
13:52here in the first,
13:53enabling them to overcome an early deficit.
13:57And now they're ahead.
14:01Biggest lose now for the Cardinals.
14:04Coach Randy made a great adjustment
14:07from the first time they fought against each other
14:10and up to now,
14:11it seems like Coach Randy was able to check
14:14whatever offense Sanpeda is trying to run.
14:17Jomel Puno
14:19is willing to tackle.
14:21Zahonia attacks.
14:23Zahonia erases the D.
14:26We've got color
14:28between Zahonia and Escamiz.
14:30I think it was because Zahonia landed on Clint here.
14:34This was the erasure.
14:36Clear offensive foul off the shoulder.
14:40Zahonia's landing.
14:45And you know,
14:46one of the biggest changes I've seen
14:48here in this game
14:49compared to the last
14:50is Mapua's defense.
14:52Their defense forcing six turnovers so far, Prince.
14:55Yes.
14:56And so far,
14:57they've been doing a zone defense
14:59where when the ball reaches the corner
15:01and the top,
15:02it looks like they're man-to-man.
15:04That's called man-zone defense.
15:06And it's hard to check that
15:07because you really don't know where you're going.
15:09They're quick to switch up.
15:11By the way,
15:12Sanpeda's six turnovers
15:13converted to nine points.
15:15Nine of the eleven
15:17of Mapua now from there.
15:19Chris Jovilia lost it.
15:21Manguba recovers.
15:23Igleani for three.
15:25Igleani knocks it down.
15:27Mapua is so hot.
15:29Everything.
15:30Everything they're doing
15:32here in our first quarter
15:34is a huge favor to them.
15:36And Sanpeda can't seem to find a way
15:38to stop them from doing
15:40what they want in their offense.
15:42The Cardinals open up a nine-point lead.
15:45Tagle stops on a dive.
15:47Here's Jomel Puno.
15:49Shot clock winding down again.
15:51Jomel
15:52pounded
15:53through to the chute.
15:55Scoop.
15:56No hoop
15:57for Puno.
15:58And here comes Chris Jovilia.
16:00They have the numbers.
16:01Jovilia will take off.
16:03This will go all the way.
16:19Nine of Mapua's 16 points
16:21coming from just one guy
16:23and Christopher Jovilia.
16:25And there's a foul on the other side
16:27against the Cardinals.
16:30Escamiz will be replaced
16:32by Cuenco.
16:34But that substitution will come
16:36after this timeout.
16:38NCAA Season 100 will be back.
16:44Many of NCAA's student-athletes
16:46continue to play in professional
16:48basketball leagues.
16:50And there are also athletes
16:52who become basketball legends.
16:54Some of the past and future
16:56basketball legends of NCAA
16:58are Kaloy Loizaga,
17:00Lauro Mumar, and Freddie Webb.
17:02Followed by Atoy Ko,
17:04Phillip Cesar, Vergel Meneses,
17:06Alvin Patrimonio, and
17:08Sam Boy Lim.
17:10Also included are Romel Adukul,
17:12Rodney Santos, and Willie Miller.
17:14Mancom representative
17:16at San Pedro University,
17:18Atty. Jonas.
17:20In attendance,
17:22Atty. Jonas's boss
17:24polo shirt is amazing.
17:26Atty. Jonas.
17:28Sir Peter Caico, Mancom rep.
17:30This time from Arellano University.
17:32Arellano coming off a win.
17:34Big win against LPU.
17:36Yesterday, Father Vic Calvo, Jr.
17:38won't be also in attendance.
17:46A lot of the members are all here.
17:48Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo

17:58Doc Lorenzo
18:00jacket.
18:02I hope so.
18:04Action continues.
18:06Outside shooting
18:08of Makua has been
18:10the difference.
18:12Nailing it from the corner.
18:14Very hard to stop in the open floor.
18:16The effect of
18:18Makua is amazing.
18:20Makua
18:22Makua
18:24Makua
18:26Makua

19:04Makua
19:06Makua
19:08Makua
19:10Makua
19:12Makua
19:14Makua
19:16That's Menard Sumpuya
19:18scoring his first 2 points.
19:20Sandeta so far with 4 bench points.
19:22So it's the
19:24reserves getting the job done.
19:26The pass is deflected outside
19:28so it stays with Makua.
19:30Let's look at this.
19:32Brian Zahonia
19:34attacking, floats it up and in.
19:36And then the pick and roll
19:38with Menard Sumpuya.
19:40Of course, he just came from a drive
19:42and finished the drive with a floater.
19:44What did your guard expect?
19:46He might attack again.
19:48Now, he had a big shot.
19:50Sumpuya was ready for that roll.
19:52Perfect read from Brian Zahonia.
19:54Wow!
19:56Sent back by Joe Galpuno.
19:58When you said knockout play,
20:00I was ready to agree with you.
20:02But I was surprised when Joe Galpuno came.
20:04And that's what he is
20:06capable of. He's got the height,
20:08the length, and the elevation.
20:10Recto from deep
20:12of the back iron.
20:14Kenny Estacion now.
20:16He's back in the fold.
20:18Another kick out.
20:20Puno open.
20:22Oh, he gets the bounce.
20:26End-to-end action from Joe Galpuno.
20:38One of the top three-point shooters
20:40in the league.
20:42This is Jomel Puno.
20:44Escamiz.
20:46Escamiz.
20:48There's still nothing for Clint.
20:50He continues to struggle
20:52in the beginning of this game.
20:54Escamiz now 0 out of 3.
20:56Puno unable to save it.
20:58It goes back to the Cardinals.
21:00Meantime, Sumpuya
21:02had the layup.
21:04Chose to be unselfish.
21:06Puno took care of business.
21:08That's what
21:10coaches say.
21:12It's a layup. Why did you let it go?
21:14Okay, good pass.
21:16Good pass.
21:18Pass is deflected.
21:20And it is stolen by the Red Lions.
21:22Now they are the ones
21:24forcing the turnover on Makua.
21:28Puno again.
21:30Nope.
21:32Rebound goes to Concepcion.
21:34There's Yam. Yam still has it.
21:36Ah, no.
21:38Battle for the loose ball.
21:44And it stays with Makua.
21:46Getting into the mix.
21:48Concepcion, this is a difficult take.
21:52It was Puno who grabbed it
21:54as he was going out of bounds.
21:56And this is the kind of game, Martin,
21:58that is very enjoyable to watch.
22:00In the first quarter, you can see
22:02how they battle
22:04and they really want to show
22:06to all the spectators
22:08their willingness and their
22:10desire to win.
22:12Oh, Cuenco
22:14misfires
22:16Sandeda. They want to add
22:18their 7-0 run.
22:20Pena Estacio
22:22sends it out.
22:24They couldn't take a shot
22:26right after, or right
22:28before the buzzer.
22:30So that's how we would end the first 10 minutes of action.
22:32That is Makua
22:34ahead by 4, 68-12.
22:36We'll be back with more.
