UAAP approves the “Jerry Pingoy Rule”

11 Mar

The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) board by a vote of 5-2 has approved a new rule that will somehow hinder star players from their respective high school programs from transferring to a competing UAAP college program.   The new rule could be dubbed as the Jerie Pingoy rule after the supposed transfer of the Cebuano basketball star from Far Eastern University (FEU) to the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU).  The Jerie Pingoy Rule states that a player from a rival UAAP program will have to sit out for 2 years before he can don the colors of his new school in the UAAP Senior’s Basketball tournament.  Should Pingoy transfer to the ADMU Blue Eagles, we can only see him play in the 2015 UAAP tournament.  If he remains in FEU, he can play in 77th season of UAAP, which starts in July 2013.

The UAAP board almost unanimously approved the new rule with only the teams from Katipunan (University of the Philippines and ADMU) voting against it.  The rule also extended the redshirt period of foreigners who want to play in the country’s premier collegiate basketball league from 1 year to 2 years.  Among the affected would be former Southwestern University (SWU) sensation Benoit Mbala who transferred to the De la Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers this past season.  Mbala had Manila schools salivating for his services when he spearheaded the campaign of the SWU Cobras in the Champion’s League Final 4.

Ateneo opened the game with an 8-0 run and ended up leading 28-17 after the first period.  They outscored the Bulldogs 27-17 in the second quarter to stretch the lead to 21. From then on, the Eagles cruised to a lopsided 89-65 victory in a game dubbed to be a potential finals preview.

The Blue Eagles were led by its Big 3. Season 74 Final’s MVP Nico Salva had 21 points.

2012 UAAP Basketball: UST exploits Slaughter’s foul trouble to win against Ateneo

19 Jul

For 12 straight games at the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball tournament, the UST Growling Tigers lost against the ADMU Blue Eagles. For the first time since August 4, 2007, the Tigers beat the Eagles.

The Blue Eagles who are gunning for their 5th straight title dominated the first half of the game.  They led by 15 points at the end of the first and second quarter. Their solid lead however was easily wiped out in ten minutes as the Growling Tigers came clawing out of the dugout and outscored the 4-time defending champions 30-11 in the third quarter.  Comeback kid Aljon Mariano scored 13 of his 21 points in the decisive quarter to even singlehandedly outscore the vaunted Ateneo Blue Eagles. The Tigers also controlled the final period and took a 69-62 lead going into the last 2 minutes of the game. The Eagles made a last-ditch rally to try and salvage the game as they made a 5-0 run behind a three-point basket by Juami Tiongson and a putback by Kiefer Ravena to bring the Eagles within 2, 67-69.  Karim Abdul answered for UST by scoring on a drive to bring up the lead to 4 and make it a 2-possession game with 10 seconds left.  The Tigers celebrated too much and too early that they allowed Tiongson to hit another long range bomb to cut the lead to just a single point with 5 seconds left. Ateneo, however, was not able to make a quick foul as they were able to foul Jeric Teng with less than 2 seconds left. Teng missed both of us free throws but Greg Slaughter cannot corral the rebound in time for a desperation attempt. Final score 71-70 in favor of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers.

Aljon Mariano had 13 boards along with 21 points to bag the game’s scoring honors. The Jeric pairing of Teng and Fortuna came up with 27 points and 12 rebounds between them. Big man Abdul had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks to somehow outplay Slaughter who just finished with 9 points and 5 rebounds after being hounded by foul trouble in the second half.  2011 UAAP Rookie of the Year Kiefer Ravena led the Eagles with 19 points while 2011 UAAP Finals MVP Nico Salva had 17 markers with 8 rebounds. Cebuano Christopher Sumalinog contributed 4 points in the loss. With the result, both teams are now 1-1.

UST’s next assignment will be against the UP Fighting Maroons on Saturday while ADMU will try to get back on the winning track against the NU Bulldogs.

The scores:

UST 71: Mariano 21, Teng 16, Abdul 14, Fortuna 11, Ferrer 4, Bautista 3, Lo 2, Pe 0, Daquioag 0, Afuang 0

ADMU 70: Ravena 19, Salva 17, Slaughter 9, Tiongson 8, Buenafe 5, Sumalinog 4, Elorde 3, Chua 3, Golla 2, Gonzaga 0, Erram 0

Quarter scoring: 12-27, 28-43, 58-54, 71-70

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!

In his post-game interview, he is still undecided. He also gave thanks to his coaches after winning the UAAP title including Rajko Toroman, Al Solis, and Boy Cabahug.

UAAP Jrs.: MVP Pingoy leads FEU’s march to the finals

20 Sep

Cebuano Jerie Marlon Pingoy is the Season 74 Junior’s MVP after leading FEU-FERN to a number 1 seeding after elimination round of the Junior’s basketball competition. Pingoy ranaway with the title by averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.2 steals a game. Fellow Cebuano and former Sacred Heart School- Ateneo de Cebu Magi Eagle Kristoffer Porter (Ateneo Blue Eaglets) finished second in the MVP race.

The two up and coming basketball stars met earlier today in the deciding game of FEU-Ateneo Final 4 pairing. Kris Porter had 14 points and 14 rebounds but his efforts were not enough to stop the FEU Baby Tamaraws from getting a finals slot as Jerie Pingoy and Joshua Aguilon combined for 39 points in the 63-56 victory. FEU-FERN will face the NU Bullpups in the finals.

The magical season of Jerie Pingoy continues and he is expected to lead the Baby Tamaraws in their quest for that elusive UAAP Junior’s title.

UAAP Final 4: Cebuano Cañada’s heroics not enough to prevent FEU win

18 Sep
Adamson University

Image via Wikipedia

Araneta Coliseum- Cebuanos Jerick Cañada and Jan Colina played their last collegiate game for Adamson University after the FEU Tamaraws won the do or die game, 78-74, earlier today. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Falcons who were the No.2 seed in the Final 4 and had a twice to beat edge against the Tams.

The game was close all-throughout. In the 4th quarter, the Tamaraws were threatening to pull away with a 70-59 lead after Season 73 MVP Ryan Garcia made an amazing shot. Adamson seems to have no answer for the FEU juggernaut. Jerick Cañada responded to display one of the best 4 minutes of his 5-year UAAP career. The former Don Bosco Greywolves standout scored ten points in an amazing 12-4 run in which Adamson cut down FEU’s lead to 3 at 71-74.  In that spurt, he made several steals and scored 2 triples. Unfortunately, it was not enough as FEU held on for a 78-74 win and grabbed the right to face Greg Slaughter’s Ateneo Blue Eagles in the finals. Continue reading →
