00:008-8 in the 3rd quarter.
00:07Here we go!
00:094th quarter, set to begin.
00:11Anton Rojas with Coach Hammer, Martin Antonio, and Bianca Alejandre at courtside.
00:16Big circle, red dot.
00:198 points in the 3rd quarter.
00:21Great defense by LPU, but towards the latter part,
00:23Mapuho was able to get and make stops.
00:28What a shot!
00:29To begin the period, the Pirates continue to roll.
00:33Montano, able to deliver.
00:36And first touch that he had in the 2nd half,
00:39Gael Montano.
00:40He was able to insert it on top of the 4th quarter.
00:43And that's an early foul
00:46on LPU captain Greg Gunanan.
00:50So I am taking a wild swing here.
00:53They will remove the points of attack, talking about both squads.
00:56They will remove the attack of Villegas and the attack of Clint Escamiz.
01:02After scoring 18 in the 1st quarter,
01:05Clint has been a little bit shackled, but he has been very active in the 2nd half.
01:11Hubilia.
01:12Hubilia! Wow!
01:18And they would give him the continuation because Chris Hubilia
01:21was going downhill now and getting contact.
01:24But he has nowhere else to go, so he takes an extra step and finishes.
01:29So that merits continuation.
01:34The hang time of Chris Hubilia.
01:36He jumped far after the contact.
01:38Another step and he was thrown to the other side.
01:40It's really a continuation.
01:44And Hubilia completes the 3-point play.
01:46Let's get an update right now with Bianca Alejandre.
01:49With the command of the Pirates on full display,
01:51every possession feels like a battle within a battle.
01:55Coach Gilbert Malabana now keeps his team rooted
01:58as he commands his team to work together
02:01through effective screening and better passes.
02:03Coach Razi Alcantara counters this, reminding his team to execute,
02:07especially with their transition defense.
02:09As mentioned earlier, this battle might just be one for the books.
02:13Opportunity is just around the corner,
02:15but only one team can maximize this to their advantage.
02:18That's all from Portside Anton and Coach Hammer.
02:22The opportunity is there.
02:25Both teams knocking at the door of the finals.
02:30Concepcion, much needed basket for him.
02:34First basket of the game by Yam Concepcion.
02:37Earlier, he wasn't given the third quarter by Chris Hubilia's drop pass.
02:41Now Chris making it sure that the ball gets to him on that backdoor cut.
02:52Villegas.
02:53Great on-ball defense by Clint Escamiz.
02:55Too strong off the glass for Villegas.
03:00Something to look out for, Escamiz stretching his calf muscles.
03:05His work rate is astronomical in this game,
03:08he's defending the best player of their opponent
03:13and he is attacking as their main focal point in offense.
03:16Mapua holding on to a one-point lead
03:22after that Yam Concepcion basket.
03:27Hubilia, Hubilia powering up.
03:30Chris Hubilia flex on them, young man.
03:36And he finally makes a basket there.
03:37He's been attacking the defense for a while.
03:39Now Mapua has a little bit more breathing room.
03:42Baseline! Baseline! Baseline!
03:45Bonana.
03:46Baseline! Baseline! Baseline!
03:47Bravo to Barba.
03:49Great defense by Cuenco.
03:52Swarming.
03:54Escamiz with the interception but
03:57he stepped on the baseline prior to that.
03:59Automatic double turn on the corner by Ato Barba.
04:03He didn't let it go.
04:04He really hit it as it went to the baseline.
04:08Send the house.
04:10So Barba will take a breather here.
04:15Mapua starting this period on a 7-2 run.
04:20Cuenco wants some space.
04:24J.M. Bravos on him.
04:26Cuenco for three.
04:27Concepcion with the offensive rebound.
04:30Escamiz wants it.
04:32Cuenco waves him off.
04:34Hubilia slipping.
04:36Cuenco airball.
04:40Bayley's rebound.
04:48Ball to Kunanan.
04:51Kunanan stripped.
04:53Escamiz with a steal.
04:55Escamiz, all the way!
04:5927 points for Clint Escamiz.
05:03LPU calls a time out.
05:09Did you know that there are also stars who studied in NCAA schools?
05:14Some of these are Yasser Marta who became the team P of San Sebastian before moving to LPU.
05:20Anthony Rosaldo came from Arellano and Rocco Nasino who became Mr. Mapua.
05:25The Perpetualites are Kailin Alcantara and Shaira Diaz.
05:29While Tubong St. Benilde are El Villanueva and David Licauco.
05:34The Proud Bedans are Sofia Cineron, Christopher Martin, and Andre Paras.
06:05And this amazing play from the reigning MVP, Clint Escamiz, is definitely our McDonald's Play of the Game.
06:13Brought to you by the new and better McCafe Iced Coffee, Boulder Brew, Creamier Blend, McDonald's, Lovekoto.
06:22Escamiz, one point shy of his career high.
06:35Defending Villegas.
06:39And he gets a steal.
06:41Cardinals are running.
06:43Oh, the Betawan Ijubila, Concepcion picks it up.
06:47Escamiz wants it.
06:49Calling for the screen.
06:51Escamiz.
06:53Trying to dance away from Villegas.
06:56Escamiz.
06:58For the career high.
07:00Clint Escamiz.
07:02His first 30 piece in the NCAA.
07:07Touchdown for Clint Escamiz with his momentum bringing him to the sideline.
07:13Wait, did they rule it a two?
07:15So 29 points.
07:19But Clint Escamiz with a new career high.
07:26And what a time for it to come.
07:29Yep, his foot was on the line.
07:32A long two.
07:3429 points.
07:36Resetting his previous record.
07:3929 points.
07:41Resetting his previous career high of 28.
07:45Locked in.
07:47With his eyes set on leading his ball club to the finals.
07:55Coach Randy Alcantara in his fifth season as the head coach of Papua.
08:03Wanting to make the finals a third time.
08:11Cuenco.
08:16Concepcion to Escamiz.
08:18Escamiz line drive.
08:22Villegas.
08:23Oh, Villegas.
08:25Went spot.
08:27Madulas.
08:31Wow.
08:32Wow, breaks of the game.
08:34That was a good transition play with Renz Villegas to go one on one.
08:40Went spot there.
08:48Tough break for the LPU Pirates.
08:52That would have been a sure two for Renz Villegas.
08:55Villegas, one of the fastest players in the NCAA.
09:08Concepcion.
09:11What a time for him to come alive.
09:13Two quick baskets for young Concepcion.
09:18The production he lost earlier.
09:22But clicking at the right moment.
09:25Bravo.
09:26Played it off the glass.
09:30The lead is increasing.
09:3117 points for JM Bravo.
09:34Seven point deficit that they're trying to climb out of.
09:40Cuenco will attack.
09:42Escamiz for three.
09:44It is now official.

10:34Bravo with 20 points in this game.
10:38Going one-on-one.
10:39Pupilia.
10:40And Tunanan comes up with the board.
10:45Atobarba returns.
10:48Well rested.
10:52So JM Bravo.

10:58He's got the lead.
11:01He's got the lead.
11:04He's got the lead.
11:07He's got the lead.
11:11Pupilia.
11:20So JM Bravo matching his career high today of 20 points.
11:25Barba.
11:28Much needed basket.
11:29Instant offense from the bench.
11:31The basket and the foul.
11:33Atobarba.
11:34They're always a tough out but getting the contact and the finish.
11:42JM Bravo.
11:45So that's four straight points for the Pirates after Escamiz put them ahead by 10.
11:575-0 run for the Lycians.
12:02More than enough time for both teams to get control of this game.
12:12Cuenco.
12:15Escamiz calling for the screen.
12:18Escamiz to Igliani.
12:20Good blitz on the yellow.
12:25No percentage play forcing the outlet.
12:31No percentage play right there.
12:34But again, the defense of Mapua really not giving up.
12:51The Mapuans trying to close the show.
12:54Cuenco to Hubilia.
12:55Hubilia gets fouled.
12:59And that's going to be two free throws for Chris Hubilia.
13:05Short roll.
13:08Hard show.
13:10Switch.
13:14Middle attack.
13:16Hard show.
13:20Short roll.
13:22Delay roll.
13:24Five out of seven from the free throw line for Hubilia.
13:28The Mapuans baskets.
13:29They really need this.
13:31Hubilia.
13:35Just a 67.8% free throw shooter for the season making good today.
13:45As they are one win away from a return trip to the finals.
13:56Hubilia, six.
13:58The free throw.
14:00Six point lead for Mapua.
14:07Villegas.
14:09Villegas throws it out.
14:12Kunanan.
14:13Oh, he was fouled taking a three.
14:17Good recognition by Vince Villegas on the jump stop.
14:22Pass back.
14:23Relocating was Greg Kunanan.
14:29The jump stop.
14:31Dribble drive action.
14:32Drag.
14:34Greg Kunanan getting flipped on that three point attempt.
14:38Good enough.
14:51Zero out of two for Greg Kunanan.
14:53Wow.
14:57These are shocking misses by Greg Kunanan.
15:01Team captain of LPU.
15:08Oh, wow.
15:09Missing all three.
15:12That looks like it's going to be a foul on Escamiz.
15:16Free throws.
15:17Penalty rather.
15:22He missed free throws.
15:24And Bravo just wanting the score.
15:37Sorry misses right there.
15:40By Greg Kunanan.
15:43Missing all three free throws.
15:51Guadagna.
15:53Guadagna on the drive.
15:55And that's a foul on Cuenco.
15:58And Mapua is now in the penalty.
16:00Two free throws coming up for Maplod Guadagna.
16:05Opportunity to chip away.
16:08It has been a nightmare from the free throw line.
16:11For the Lycians.
16:1318 for 33 today.
16:18Oh, my.
16:24And the faces of the young ladies in the stands.
16:31Tells a story right there.
16:34Wow.
16:35Five straight misses from the line.
16:37And a miss from point blank range.
16:40The Pirates firing blanks here late at the fort.
16:43Yeah.
16:46Mapua, they're up by six.
16:49Trying to get a little bit more pressure.
16:56Escamiz loses control.
16:59Oh.
17:17Costly turnover right here.
17:20By Ato Barba.
17:21Number two scorer in the NCAA.
17:23And now Mapua calls a timeout.

28:29tip-off time.
28:31Number 2, Benil Glazers
28:33against the defending champions
28:35San Pedro Red Lions.
28:37Fighting for survival
28:39today.
28:45Concepcion
28:47will throw the
28:49inbound pass.
28:51Concepcion
28:53to Recto.
28:55Gets it to Escamiz.
28:57Escamiz waiting
28:59to be fouled and there it is.
29:01Clint Escamiz
29:03with 32 points
29:05today. He has not missed
29:07from the free throw line
29:09and with these two free throws
29:11he has a chance to tie
29:14the game.
29:16A single game scoring
29:18record set by
29:20Deo Quahog.
29:26But he misses on the first.
29:30All important that they make the
29:32second one to make it
29:34an even longer
29:36possession game.
29:44Already a
29:46career high 32 for
29:48Escamiz. Make that
29:5033.
29:54One stop.
29:5623.2
30:00seconds remaining in regulation.
30:06Two possession ball game.
30:08You want to
30:10hit your shooters?
30:13For one who
30:15just made a three-pointer.
30:19Ask your inbounder
30:21if he's inside.
30:27He's going to throw a three-point shot.
30:29If you're Mapua,
30:31you just want to get a stop here, get a rebound
30:33and just
30:35melt the clock
30:37and go to the finals
30:39and prepare for whoever
30:42is going to be the
30:44winner.
30:50What a season it's been
30:52for LPU.
30:54Post school for the first time.
30:56Historic 100th year.
30:58Started the season 0-2.
31:00They thought they lost
31:02J.M. Brava for the season.
31:04And that kind of galvanized
31:06the Pirates as they won three straight.
31:08Finished the first round
31:10finishing their last four
31:12games with wins.
31:14That's the
31:16most important part.
31:18No one graduated
31:20in this team as far as we know.
31:24Recto with a board.
31:26Recto gets it to Concepcion.
31:28The Mapuans
31:30are already celebrating.
31:32Fans behind us are up
31:34on their feet.
31:41And what
31:43about Yam Concepcion?
31:45If there is a player that
31:47showed tremendous improvement
31:49within this season,
31:51Yam Concepcion is definitely
31:53up there.
31:55Even in this game,
31:57he was
31:59forgettable in the first half, but he
32:01made his presence felt.
32:03If it was just me and Clint Escamiz didn't have this career
32:05game, he would have been the best player.
32:07Because he was there for every possession.
32:09He made stops on
32:11Atobarba. He made stops
32:13on JM Bravo whenever they switched.
32:15He was the key guy
32:17crashing the board and he
32:19fabricated points in the paint.
32:21But again, Clint Escamiz taking
32:23care of business today.
32:25Two free throws
32:27for Concepcion.
32:29Bonanad
32:31fires a long ball.
32:33And that's going to do it.
32:35Dailek fouls
32:38All that's
32:40left to be
32:42placed in the
32:44history books is the final score.
32:46But what a game
32:48for that man. The reigning
32:50MVP,
32:52Clint Escamiz.
32:5433 points, a career
32:56high.
32:58Four rebounds,
33:00three assists, two steals,
33:02and one block. And that
33:0418-point first quarter
33:06set the tone.
33:08And that salvaged the game
33:10after an 8-point third quarter
33:12that was really big
33:14for this
33:16Mapua squad.
33:22And it is now
33:24official. The
33:26Mapua Cardinals and Coach
33:28Randy Alcantara are back
33:30in the NCAA finals
33:32for the third time
33:34in the past four seasons.
33:36And our Gatorade player
33:38of the game is
33:40Clint Escamiz. Clint Escamiz
33:42fired up the court with 33
33:44points, three assists, four
33:46rebounds, two steals, and
33:48one block. Stay hydrated
33:50with Gatorade so you too
33:52can dominate.
34:00A career
34:02high. 33 points
34:04for the reigning
34:06MVP.
34:10And Mapua
34:12wins over
34:14LPU to return
34:16to the finals of the
34:18NCAA.
