00:00It's underway. NCAA Season 100 on GTV EAC vs. Biniyod, Martin Aviera alongside Coach Jerry Cordinera doing the broadcast.
00:12And it is Biniyod with the first grab at the basket. Coach, should be a good matchup, but we have to check and...
00:23We have to keep an eye on the beginning of the panic because Biniyod had a fast start against EAC in their first round matchup.
00:31Correct. You really have to chase that. The start of CSV Biniyod Blazer, that's where they get the strength for a good start.
00:52That's what I've been waiting for, Coach Chavo and Ancheta's matchup.
01:23Yes, it's important. It's about positioning.
01:28And you talk about him being fearless. He forced the turnover on Ancheta. He pushed him to the backcourt.
01:35Now let's take this opportunity to go courtside for the first time. Let's listen to Bianca Alejandria.
01:42Launching into the Blazers vs. Generals showdown, here's a quick matchup analysis to pique your interest.
01:48The Blazers may be known by their rank, speed, and strategic shooting, but the warrior-like intensity of the Generals may just be the perfect catalyst.
01:55According to Coach Jerzone Cabiltes of EAC, we treat each game as a knockout game as we play with a lot of hustle and our offense starts from our defense.
02:04To Blazers, Coach Charles Tew says it's a big game for us. EAC had a very good record against us from the last few seasons, so we need to recover.
02:13As a quick update for Biniyod, according to their coaches, despite Tony Enot's left ankle sprain, he is still in the lineup for today.
02:19But it is still uncertain if he will be brought out to play. So as this battle of discipline against Drive rolls out, let's see which team's strategy brings more to the score.
02:28Let's hear your thoughts, Martin and Jerry.
02:50But you love the instructions from both coaches. Coach Jerry, they know what to expect from each other.
02:56We talk about EAC, they have to play with more desperation as we see this rebound, Liwag towering over everybody to get this offensive board and he fishes a foul.
03:09EAC needs to be more desperate to win because they are in a tricky situation in the team standings.
03:14As for Biniyod, Coach Charles mentioned that in the past, EAC has won every EAC standings. They have a history of winning against Biniyod, so they can relax.
03:29Yes, they just need to focus more on Liwag. For you to be in step with CSB, you need to neutralize Liwag.
03:39If not, CSB will have confidence in Liwag because they know that Liwag will get the rebound.
03:47That's right, they were able to do that a little bit in their first round encounter. Liwag had only 7 points, trying to shoot for EAC.
03:57Otsapo trying to shake off Sampo, he got in! Oh! Just missed the layup.
04:03Nice!
04:06But how about the dribbling exhibition and then the slash by Otsapo?
04:15Like I said, there's nothing to be afraid of.
04:18But earlier, CSB was like a tree of yogurts, they couldn't see anything.
04:23Liwag and Sampo had a good collapse.
04:27Here goes shooting. Oh, Biniyod not doing well. A turnover by the Blazers.
04:33EAC is running, Pag-Sanhan is on fire.
04:38Edmila gets it back for them.
04:41To the corner they go, Pag-Sanhan! There is the triple!
04:46Pag-Sanhan is a veteran, he won't hesitate.
04:51He's a veteran, he won't hesitate.
04:54It's just a slight window of confidence.
04:57He quickly got the ball.
04:59And this guy doesn't shoot a lot of threes.
05:02But when given the chance, there's no hesitation, this is Harvey Pag-Sanhan.
05:08A scorching start for EAC, bothered shot!
05:14But Cortiza remained unbothered as he drained the long two.
05:2110-1 start for the Generals.
05:25EAC jumping on the Blazers in the first few minutes.
05:31Oli, Sanko.
05:35Here's the pass underneath, Justin Sanchez able to force the issue.
05:40And he'll head to the line for a couple of shots.
05:42But what a start here for EAC Generals.
05:46It's hard to attack now because the defense of EAC Generals is very tight, which is good.
05:52That's why they really need to go home in the draft passes, not in the three shots.
05:58Those were the last two baskets, this EAC from Harvey Pag-Sanhan.
06:03And King Cortiza, Justin Sanchez knocking down the first free throw.
06:10Just to give you guys context on Pag-Sanhan's three-point shooting this season.
06:15He's only taken 24 shots from beyond the arc and has made 6 of them.
06:22So that's 25%. He's 1 out of 1 today for a 7-triple.
06:27Here's Jed Bakud replacing Wilmar Oftana, early substitution for Coach Gerson Cabiltes.
06:36It's hard to play with Jed Bakud, but because of familiarity with Liwag,
06:41I can play with him more or less. He's been with Liwag for 80 years.
06:46They're together in practice almost every day.
06:49Ooh, miscommunication for EAC Sanchez.
06:54Gets the foul, he'll head to the line for a couple of shots.
06:59And Justin Sanchez, those long strides.
07:04Those make him hard to stop, especially in transition, Coach.
07:09Especially when he's sidestepping.
07:11That's the hard part. It's really dangerous. You have to pick him up early.
07:15If he's on the wing, let him take you off the dribble.
07:18He's not allowed to fly anymore.
07:21He's no longer airborne. It's hard to stop him.
07:24And Justin Sanchez, his second straight trip to the free-throw line.
07:28Sanchez in the season, averaging a little over 10 points per game.
07:38So, 4-10.
07:41Blazers get 3 points from Sanchez, cutting the lead down to 6.
07:47EAC trying to compound on this hot start.
07:51Ochavo, no-look pass. Pagsanhan, count it.
07:54Pagsanhan, count it.
07:56End of foul for Harvey Pagsanhan.
07:59He's got 7 in the first.
08:01It's hard for him. He's quiet.
08:03It's like he's not charging, but he's accurate.
08:08He's used to it. He's used to it.
08:11EAC surges ahead. They're up by 8.
08:15Timeout by Coach Charles.
08:17This is our league. This is our moment.
08:22The NCAA and GMA joined forces in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
08:28when all face-to-face events were banned.
08:32But even if other leagues canceled their seasons,
08:36NCAA Season 96, Rise Up Stronger, continued.
08:40Almost all sports events were held online, including the opening ceremony.
08:44There was also a virtual chess and taekwondo tournament,
08:48and live basketball and volleyball.
08:50It has been an exciting first quarter so far.
08:55Sir Dax Castellano, Mangong representative of Delasalle College of St. Benilde,
09:01right there at the VIP box.
09:03Next to him is the athletic director, on the other side,
09:08Sir Steven Fernandez, Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo.
09:12This time, from EAC.
09:16Also in attendance, Kyle Echavo,
09:20rewarding Coach Gerson with some quality minutes.
09:25This is where our ballgame begins.
09:27You see the stability of Kyle, and you see him,
09:31or how he sets the table for his teammates.
09:34Yes, he's the most crucial here. He's the coach on the floor.
09:37He's the one who reads. They have to cut down on their turnovers.
09:40Here, SB Benitlaza will capitalize on every error.
09:45There's no way that they can't get a sprintback.
09:49Sanchez will attack right away, like what happened earlier.
09:54And Harvey Bagzalhan connects on the free throw to complete the three-point play.
10:01And here's the ball pressure, again applied by EAC.
10:06Sanchez, pass is deflected.
10:08It stays with Benilde, with a lot of time to work with.
10:15But you see EAC's effort to delay the offense of the Blazers.
10:20Even though they can't turn over,
10:22but they waste the shot clock of Benilde.
10:26And here they are, running on the break, Echavo.
10:33Generals will have it back, 19 to work with.
10:36Ian Torres now in the game, high point hand for the Blazers against JRU with 16 points.
10:44Echavo, Burtiza, Burtiza, difficult shot again.
10:50Liwag pulls it down.
10:53Here's Justin Sanchez.
10:57They swing it to Mattioli.
10:59Sanco is open.
11:01Hits the back iron, Echavo snatching the ball.
11:04Two on two break.
11:07Echavo, EAC slams on the break.
11:10They'll set it up here at the half court.
11:14Kayan, Kayan against Sanco, drop off, dangerous pass.
11:19Echavo is a bit excited there.
11:22Sanchez, Sanchez is being pressured.
11:25Sanchez recovers.
11:27Sanco takes the pass, but he is called for a walk.
11:32Good call.
11:35EAC just has a different energy today.
11:39At least to start the game, Coach Jerry, we saw a different energy from EAC.
11:44They really have a mission here.
11:46They need to win, they started well.
11:49The problem is, can they maintain the same level?
11:53Especially with a high world grade like this, Coach Jerry.
11:57But Benilde is also under pressure.
11:58Yes.
12:00They can't just accept pressure.
12:03Here's Nobe Lucero, Kyle Olchabu replaced him earlier.
12:08Lucero crossover, pull up, one-hander.
12:12Knocked the bank on a weekend.
12:15Wow, big cross.
12:17Coach, EAC's advantage is already 11.
12:20This is rare.
12:22Especially in contrast to Tracer's CSBB, you can't win easily.
12:26Sanchez, here's the help, no-look pass.
12:29Liwag inside.
12:31And one, oh no, no foul.
12:34Liwag's basket.
12:36Liwag is persistent.
12:38If he doesn't have a ball, it's okay.
12:40He just spins around.
12:42But as you can see, he countered.
12:44Here it is.
12:46Here is Nobe Lucero.
12:48Foul on the floor.
12:50And this is go against.
12:52Or this is go against.
12:53Or this is go against.
12:55Ian Torres.
12:57How about the crossover?
12:59Right?
13:01Lucero's guard is blocked there.
13:03An open look.
13:05No-look pass by Sanchez to Liwag inside.
13:08Beautifully done by Benito.
13:10You can't trust Liwag there.
13:12Especially Bakun, you're a big man.
13:14You have nothing else to do but look for Liwag.
13:17Oh!
13:19Sanchez denying Lucero.
13:209 seconds on the shot clock.
13:229 seconds to shoot.
13:24Attitude for EAC.
13:26They have an advantage.
13:28Jud Bagay is also in the game.
13:32Mr. Efficiency for EAC this season.
13:35Loristo making the catch.
13:39Cortiza.
13:41Loristo lost it.
13:43Ahead is Tony Inot.
13:45It's a walk in the park for Tony Inot.
13:48Welcome back.
13:50Tony.
13:52It's hard to get a reward pass.
13:57In a match like this, you need to secure your passes.
14:00Especially coming from a ball screen.
14:03This is Inot's first game since October 8th.
14:07He's been injured in their match against JRU.
14:10Missed the last three games for the Blazers.
14:13But he's back today, coming off the bench.
14:15Cortiza.
14:17Nailing it to beat the shot clock.
14:20Inot.
14:22Inot.
14:25Torres.
14:27Cortiza, by the way, with five points already.
14:29Here's the hustle by King.
14:31It's not just Cortiza.
14:34It's King's offense.
14:36He's a champion in passing.
14:38That's why it's scary.
14:40Here at EAC General, in their backcourt.
14:42They're strong.
14:44King is down here.
14:45Coach Jerry hasn't taken a rest.
14:50Look at the rejection.
14:52Look at the hustle of Cortiza.
14:54Cortiza is on the move.
14:56King, no.
14:58Heavily bothered by Torres.
15:00That was a hard shot.
15:02If it was to the left, it would've been too far.
15:04If it was to the right, it would've been too far.
15:06It would've been hard to bandage.
15:08It was a wide shot.
15:10Defense by Backwood.
15:12Here's Lucero.
15:13Lucero with a veteran move.
15:15But he's going to be called for the offensive foul.
15:18He's moving.
15:20They're both in an established position.
15:23It's moving.
15:25He was called here.
15:27He nudged.
15:33Ten-point lead for EAC.
15:37Let's watch.
15:38Let's watch.
15:41Many of the student-athletes of NCAA continue to play in professional basketball leagues.
15:47And there are also athletes who become basketball legends.
15:51Some of the past and future basketball legends of NCAA are
15:56Kaloy Loizaga, Lauro Mumar, and Freddie Webb.
15:59Followed by Atoy Ko, Philip Cesar, Virgel Meneses, Alvin Patrimonio, and Samboy Lim.
16:05Also include Romel Adukul, Rodney Santos, and Willie Miller.
16:10Until the time of Ronjay Buenafe.
16:14Let's watch what happened here, Coach Jerry.
16:17Both players were moving.
16:21And it was on the slight show by Lucero.
16:25That's when the offensive foul was called.
16:27It's good that Torres was able to sell out on the foul.
16:31That's why he was able to score.
16:33Let's do a smile cam.
16:35Joining us on a Sunday.
16:37EAC players.
16:40We also have a representative from Beniote and Ron.
16:43We'll see them more as we go deep into the broadcast.
16:47Here.
16:49EAC is at the back of the bench.
16:52Here's Harvey Pagsanhanian's number one fan.
16:55Now, he's wearing a half-court dress.
16:58EAC's 1-2-2 alignment.
17:00Coach Gerson is giving a different look.
17:01Here's Coach Gerson.
17:03Here's the CSB players.
17:05Let's see how they'll react.
17:07There's a lot of show dress.
17:27That's a big thing.
17:28Pilots-wise.
17:30If they don't win the match, at least they'll have a shot at the end.
17:34Sanchez getting the offensive board snatched.
17:37By Lucero.
17:39Nobby. Drop-off.
17:41Back-court score.
17:42Jadru Mabu.
17:44He really didn't make it to the secondary break.
17:47EAC General is taking it.
17:49Morales.
17:51Tracks it down.
17:53Here's the pressure.
17:55Inod quickly to Liwag.
17:56Back to Tony.
17:57He pulls the trigger.
17:59Off the back iron that time.
18:01Lucero secures the board.
18:03They're being out-hassled here.
18:05This is unusual for the Blazers.
18:08This is their start.
18:10Lucero.
18:12Solid job so far as the backup.
18:14PG Quenal.
18:16Too strong that time.
18:18But this is the largest lead so far for EAC.
18:21We'll see if Guineo can cut into it.
18:26Torres.
18:27All alone.
18:29No.
18:31Foul on the rebound.
18:33Sandwiched.
18:35This is Alin Liwag.
18:37I'd rather foul him than let him get the board back.
18:45Make him earn his points from the free throw.
18:53EAC already in the penalty.
18:56So Liwag takes a trip.
18:58Only a 47% free throw shooter this season.
19:02That's Coach Eric Altamirano's term.
19:04Let him bleed for his points.
19:06I don't want to go in.
19:08I don't like easy shots.
19:10Because if you follow up on that.
19:12Instant basket for Liwag.
19:14This is the barangay of Liwag.
19:16I saw them earlier.
19:18Maybe two vans.
19:20All out support for Liwag.
19:23One out of two that time.
19:24Doristo.
19:26Grabbing the board so it stays.
19:28It's hard to play.
19:30It's hard to play.
19:32It's hard to fight.
19:34It's hard to win.
19:36It's emotional.
19:38Because you have a history.
19:40Of course, you're extra motivated.
19:43But you're more emotional.
19:45Hupom is in the game with Gometa.
19:48Liwag now is doubled.
19:50They swing it to the other side.
19:53Open is Morganes.
19:55Too strong.
19:57Gometa opens the board.
19:59And follow up for Gometa.
20:06Right place.
20:08Right time for Gometa.
20:10For his first two points.
20:12Morganesero.
20:14Handles it.
20:16Saw the crease.
20:18That's a dangerous pass.
20:20Picked off.
20:22Short.
20:24Quick pass.
20:26And here comes Chutpagay.
20:28Interfering.
20:30Gometa gets it back though.
20:32No though.
20:34Liwag.
20:36Nice recovery from the Blazers.
20:39Six points for Liwag to go.
20:41With five boards.
20:43Here in our first quarter.
20:45Final shot time.
20:47For the Generals.
20:49It is Mignocero.
20:50That's the foul to give.
20:53For Benilde.
20:55You have to use the time wisely.
20:58Shot clock wisely.
21:00Going up against CSB Benilde Blazers.
21:02Your room for error should be reduced.
21:07You have to play close to perfect.
21:09At least.
21:11Your brand of basketball.
21:13You can't lose to the Poys.
21:15Especially Lucero.
21:17Chutpagay.
21:18If he comes back.
21:20He's going to get tossed.
21:22Quick shot time.
21:24For EAC.
21:26Ochamo.
21:28Off the front of the rim.
21:30And after the first inning.
21:32And so that's it.
21:34We have an exciting one for you guys.
21:36It's EAC.
21:38Surprising the Blazers.
21:40With a seven point lead.
21:42When we return.
21:44We'll give you second quarter of this one.
21:46What they notice.
