Tigers still half asleep, lose over UE
Sunday, July 8, 2007
University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers didn’t growl quite loud as University of the East Red Warriors beat last season’s champions, 73-60, in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines(UAAP) senior men's basketball competition last July 8, at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay.
Jervy Cruz still ended with a 16-point record in the opening game, despite the minor injury he attained in the middle of the game.
The Warriors, led by Mark Borboran, maintained the lead throughout the first three quarters, disappointing the UST crowd.
The Tigers finally stood out to gain control of the game, only to be disappointed by their opponent’s drive for the win. The Recto-based rosters’ score finally drifted away from the Espana boys’ with only a minute remaining in the last quarter.
Earlier, Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles defeated Adamson University Falcons, 69-63, in an overtime.
Joining De La Salle University Green Archers and National University Bulldogs top the race, UE and Ateneo now both have a 1-0 slate.
Quarters: 17-14, 33-27, 48-45, 73-60
TAMARAW DOMINATED THE TIGERS
July 14, 2007, Saturday
University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers was slapped with a second defeat after losing against Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws, 81-66, in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) senior men's basketball at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium last July 14.
The Tamaraws were too eager to bounce back into the league after their bitter defeat against the National University Bulldogs last July 7 that they completely dominated the Tigers, who lost against the University of the East Red Warriors in their first game.
FEU welcomed UST into the match by not allowing the defending champs to score too much, resulting a 16-point lead favoring the Tamaraws, and the Tigers recording only 10 points in the 1st quarter and ending the 1st half, 41-23.
UST tried catching up in the 3rd quarter, even cutting the lead to just 15 points with less than five minutes left. But FEU answered the challenge, closing the 3rd quarter with a 61-43 score.
Tigers Japs Cuan, guard Mark Canlas, and Khazim Mirza, however, got the ball rolling by shooting baskets and stealing balls, cutting FEU’s big lead to just nine points, with less than 4 minutes left in the final quarter.
Jervy Cruz, the highest scorer in the game with 19 points, scored from the free throw line with less than three minutes until the end of the game.
But time was in FEU’s hand as UST was unable to catch with the Morayta-based players, who were still scoring I the game, closing it with a 9-3 run, putting the final score at 81-66.
The Tigers are now tied with Adamson Falcons and University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons who are at the bottom of the standings with 0-2 win-loss records.
FEU :81 - Sanga:15, Adolfo: 15, Cawaling: 11, Gerilla: 8, Barroca: 7, Baracael: 6, Fernandez: 5. Abaring: 3, Reyes:3, Cervantes:3, Ramos:2, Knuttle:2, Cabagnot:2, Alisbo:0, Tanuan:0
UST:66 – Cruz: 19, Mirza:11, Cuan:10, Ababou:8, Canlas:6, Scott:4, Espiritu:3, Allera:3, Dizon:2, Basa:0, Badua:0, Taylor:0, Cortez:0
UST TIGERS ETCH FIRST WIN
July 19, 2007 - Thursday
"More than Jervy Cruz's usual monster game, 24 points and 23 rebounds, it was the team's collective effort and successful adjustment to the sudden exit of Jojo Duncil with new players finally taking charge. Francis Allera was a surprise standout with 26 points and 8 rebounds."
Down for as much as 12 points in the first quarter, the defending champions bounced back with triple three-pointers at the start of the second quarter courtesy of Jun Cortez and a back-to-back from Allera. Leo Canuday and Patrick Cabahug of Adamson were quick to respond with two treys but Allera, along with Anthony Espiritu, carried on the shooting spree behind the arc to keep the Falcons at bay. The Tigers closed the first half with a two-point lead, 47-45.
Three straight stolen possessions maneuvered by Espiritu and a three-pointer fired by unlikely source Japs Cuan in the last canto marked the turning point of the game as the Tigers widened the gap by ten and was pushed even further to 16 points, 94-78, with only less than two minutes on the clock. The Tigers manufactured 31 points in the quarter, so far the highest posted digit within a quarter in the season.
Quarter scores: 18-26, 47-45, 65-64, 96-84
TIGER 2-2 DEFEAT MAROONS
After a 0-2 start, UST Growling Tigers gained their second win as they defeated the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, 76-68, in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Senior men’s basketball last July 21 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.
"Francis Allera once again stepped out and shot hoops for the team as what he did during the Tigers’ victor over the Adamson Falcons, earning the best player of the game title."
First quarter ended with a tie, 15 on both teams, but Espana-based rosters stepped up as they earned an 8-point lead against the Diliman boys in the end of the 1st half.
UST’s score drifter farter away as they closed the 3rd quarter with an eleven-point advantage.
Mighty Tiger Jervy Cruz played a crucial game, especially after Fighting Maroons Woody Co and Veejay Serios cut the Tigers lead – 12 points - to just five points with under a minute left in the 4th quarter.
However, Dylan Ababou, scored one of his two attempts from the charity stripe to lock the score at 76-68.
UST is now tied with the National University Bulldogs, 2-2.
Earlier, Ateneo Blue Eagles won over the Bulldogs in a close fight, 66-65
Quarters: 15-15, 43-35, 62-51, 76-68
