The UAAP Season 75 Senior’s Basketball has no winless team left after the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons routed the University of the East Red Warriors.  The win caused a logjam for the 6th-8th places.  UP, UE, and Adamson University Soaring Falcons all tot a 1-6 record.

For the first time in many years, UP held the lead from the 1st quarter till the end of the match.  All 12 players tapped by Maroons Coach Ricky Dandan scored at least a point.  It was a total team effort for a team that is learning how to win after several near-wins against some of toughest teams of the season like DLSU and Ateneo.  UP boasts of one of the most experienced groups in this year’s competition as 8 of its players are in their final year of playing at the UAAP. The Fighting Maroons were, however, led by a 16 year old Freshman from Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu in this game.  Former Energen U-16 mainstay Renzar Henry Asilum scored 14 points along with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He was able to somehow negate the efforts of the explosive Roi Sumang of UE who finished with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Asilum was backstopped by Mark Lopez who had 10 markers, 8 boards, 4 dishes, 2 thefts, and 1 blocked shot. UP was able to dominate the rebound battle with a +10 margin (48-38).  They also had a 23-6 advantage on assists while causing 21 TOs and making 10 steals.  UP was able to limit their turnovers to just 11 in the game.

The next game for both teams will be on August 25 with UP battling Ateneo and UE facing DLSU.

2012 UAAP: Efficient Sumalinog instrumental in quelling Maroon rally

2 Aug

 

Smart Araneta Coliseum, Cubao, Quezon City – Former Don Bosco Technical College high school basketball player Christopher “Oping” Sumalinog scored 10 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and had 1 steal in 17 minutes of action to help the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles beat the hard-fighting University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, 76-70, in their first encounter in the basketball tournament of the 75th season of the UAAP.

Leading by only 3 at 67-64 in the fourth period after 3-pointers from UP’s Mark Lopez and Mike Gamboa, Ateneo turned to Sumalinog for the needed boost in scoring.  The Cebuano responded by scoring 5 in a 7-0 run that brought the lead to a safe ten points, 74-64, with only 2:30 left to play. Sumalinog who is usually used by coach Norman Black as a defensive stopper hit 2 0f his 3 attempts from long distance while the rest of the Blue Eagle squad went  0 for 7 for the afternoon.

It was a tough loss for UP who are still looking for their first win of the season.  The Fighting Maroons came out strong right at the opening tip and even took a 9 point lead at some point in the second period. It was a stark contrast to the lethargic starts of UP in their previous 3 games. UP held a 40-32 lead at the half-time break. The break, however, was just what Ateneo needed to wake up from their offensive slumber as they outscored their Katipunan neighbors 29-17 in the crucial 3rd period and took the lead for good.

Nico Salva was the game’s top scorer as he managed to get 21 markers.   Former University of the Visayas Green Lancer Greg Slaughter finished with 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. Mark Lopez, Alvin Padilla, and Mike Gamboa scored in double figures for the Maroon five. Former Sacred Heart School- Ateneo de Cebu and RP U-16 member Henry Asilum started for UP and finished with 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal.  He was 2 for 2 beyond the arc but he missed all of his five 2-point shot attempts.

With the win Ateneo moved to 4-1 while UP sank to 0-4.

The scores:

ADMU 76 – Salva 21, Slaughter 13, Ravena 11, Sumalinog 10, Chua 7, Gonzaga 5, Buenafe 5, Erram 2, Elorde 2, Pessumal 0, Capacio 0

UP 70 – Lopez 13, Ball 11, Padilla 11, Gamboa 10, Soyud 6, Montecastro 6, Asilum 6, Romero 2, Mbah 0, Manuel 0, Hipolito 0, Gallarza 0

Asilum debuts for the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons

Former Ateneo de Cebu-Sacred Heart School Magis Eagles stalwart Renzar Henry Asilum contributed 12 points in UP’s upset bid against DLSU in the 75th season of the UAAP.   It was Asilum’s first game in the country’s premier collegiate league and his team almost started the season with a big win. UP fell short, however, 73-68.

The UP Fighting Maroons went toe to toe against the DLSU Green Archers in the first quarter as they only trailed by 1 point after the first ten minutes of action. DLSU asserted its dominance in the middle quarters as they lead 56-40 going to the final minutes of the 3rd quarter.  With La Salle fans thinking that the Archers will stroll for their first win, UP had other plans as they made a valiant 15-2 run to cut the lead to just 3 points at 55-58.  The rally was single-handedly quelled by freshman Jeron Teng who scored on back to back baskets to put some distance between the two teams.

The Fighting Maroons made their final run with few minutes left in the game as they held the Green Archers scoreless for almost 3 minutes while uncorking a 9-0 blast to grab the lead at 68-67 with 44 seconds left. In the next play, point guard LA Revilla drew a couple of defenders before passing off to Teng who attacked the basket and converting a 3-point play to give back the lead to La Salle at 70-68. UP failed to score for the rest of the game as La Salle padded the score when UP was forced to foul.

Fil-Canadian Norbert Torres led DLSU with 16pts, 14rebs, 3asts, 3blks, 1stl.  Teng and Revilla combined for 30 points.  UP was led by the 18pts, 5rebs, 2 treys, 1ast, 1stl, 1blk performance of Mike Silungan and the dozen points of freshman Asilum. Cebuano Mark Jayven Tallo was scoreless in his debut with La Salle. Tallo was supposed to play for Ateneo last year but he left the team and transferred to Ateneo’s main rival.

DLSU joins ADMU, NU, and FEU at the top of the standing with a 1-0 record. They will face the UE Red Warriors on the main game this Thursday while UP’s next assignment will be against the UST Growling Tigers on Saturday.

Former Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu Magis Eagle Julius Cadavis scored 11 to be among the four Arellano Chiefs players who scored in double figures in their upset victory over the Collegio de San Juan de Letran Knights, 77-67. The victory was the first win for Arellano in four tries this season.  The Koy Banal-mentored squad is out of the cellar with a 1-3 record.

The Chiefs waxed hot early in the game as they lead in double figures most of the first half which ended 39-28.  The game was very physical resulting to ejections to two Letran players. Knight’s team captain Jam Cortes was ejected in the second quarter after throwing an elbow in a rebound play. Jonathan Belorio followed him to the showers after committing his second flagrant foul with 5 minutes left in the 3rd period. The loss of the two players made it difficult for coach Joel Banal to find the right combination to rally from the large deficit.

In the 4th quarter, the Knights launched a last ditch rally to cut Arellano’s lead down to two at 64-66.  The Chiefs responded with an 11-0 run behind Fil-Canadian James Forrester and Rocky Acidre to pull away.  Forrester top scored for the Chiefs with 18. Kevin Alas had 22 points for the Knights who suffered their second straight loss after an opening win over San Sebastian.

The Scores:

Arellano (77) — Forrester 18, Bangga 13, Cadavis 11, Pinto 10, Acidre 9, Zulueta 7, Caperal 5, Salcedo 2, Valera 2, Hernandez 0.

Letran (67) — K. Alas 22, Racal 15, Cruz 12, J. Alas 8, Belorio 5, Lituania 2, Cortes 2, Cudal 1, Olotu 0, Pantin 0, Luib 0.

Quarters: 21-17, 39-28, 60-51, 77-67.

Cebuano Kris Porter graces the cover of Chalk Magazine July 2012 issue

4 Jul

Another Cebu product is set to invade the UAAP basketball scene. Kris Porter, who played for Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) Passerelle Team, is going to play for the Ateneo Blue Eagles basketball team. The good-looking Cebuano hopes to follow the success of former UV Green Lancers Center Greg Slaughter in the famous school in Loyola Heights, Quezon City.  Porter is not new in the UAAP as he was a part of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets last year and he was a member of the UAAP Junior’s basketball Mythical Five along with fellow Cebuano Jerie Pingoy of FEU.

Porter is one of the few lucky Blue Eaglets who got elevated directly to the Senior’s team.  He will probably have limited action in his freshman year but he is expected to contribute whenever Coach Norman Black calls his number.  He will probably be featured in many publications with his unique mix of talent and good looks.  Just recently, he is on the cover of Chalk Magazine July 2012 edition along with DLSU‘s Gab Reyes.  Indeed, Kristoffer Porter is having a good start on his UAAP senior’s basketball journey.

Good luck, Kris!

Cebuanos in the UAAP: Cebuano Asilum to play for the UP Fighting Maroons

19 Mar

UP Fighting Maroons logo

If the twitter exchanges are true, it looks like Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu guard Renzar Henry Asilum will be donning the UP Fighting Maroons jersey in the 75th UAAP season. Asilum was a vital cog in the Energen Pilipinas Under-16 Youth Team that ruled SEABA U16 and placed 4th in the FIBA Asia U16 competitions last year. Asilum played for the national team even though his school was also fighting for the top place in CESAFI high school basketball tournament. Other Energen standouts were not able to join the FIBA Asia tournament due to school commitments.

The addition of Asilum to the UP Maroons line-up will give coach Manny Dandan another reliable guard to call upon. UP will have many returning players who missed season 74 like Mark Lopez and Mikee Reyes. Henry Asilum was vital piece in the guard rotation of the Under 16 team. It would be interesting to see how to Cebuano guard will perform in the premier collegiate basketball league in the country.
