UAAP Season 71: Green Archers overcome Falcons in OT

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

img_3454The DLSU Green Archers needed an extra five minutes to dispose of the Adamson Falcons, 84-79 in Season  71 of the UAAP Men’s Basketball Tournament at the Philsports Arena.

Coming from a hairline win over the UST Growling Tigers last Thursday, the Green Archers groped for form the entire ballgame but managed to send the game into overtime.  The Green Archers had the opportunity to seal the victory after Adamson bungled its last play with only 5.7 seconds left. As in their game against the Tigers, a play was designed for rookie point guard LA Revilla, but Revilla failed to nail the shot.  

Rico Maierhofer, redeeming himself from his dismal performance from the charity line in Thursday’s game, delivered the final blows to the Adamson Falcons, with his free throw shots.

J-vee Casio, who will be celebrating his birthday on September 1, topscored anew for the defending champions with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

We Were Archers

Posted by GREENARCHERS.PH

Probably not too many may still remember that Adamson Falcon Michael Galinato once donned the green and white jersey during the 2004 UAAP season. The 6’5 center had a forgettable rookie season as he played in only 6 games and averaged 0.3 points. He eventually transferred to other schools but was relegated to their training team. Given a break at Adamson this year, he has flourished to being a steady inside force for the Falcons.
Galinato is one of three former Green Archers who played for other UAAP schools over the course of their eligibility in recent years.

Maui saves the day for Green Archers

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

img_3388Rookie Maui Villanueva made, what would probably be the most memorable basket of his rookie year, as the Green Archers escape with a victory over the UST Growling Tigers, 81-79 at the UAAP Season 71 Men’s Basketball Tournament at the Araneta Coliseum.

Villanueva made a follow up shot with only a tenth of a second left in the game clock after Revilla missed a pressure-laden lay-up that sent the Green and White Gallery jumping and shouting for joy.
“Actually, yung talagang play namin, is for LA (Revilla) kasi 5 seconds left, siya yung pinakamabilis, it’s a good thing na beat nya yung defense ng UST,” said Acting Head Coach Jack Santiago, who admitted not having slept on the eve of this game due to the tremendous pressure to win this game in the absence of Head Coach Franz Pumaren.  
Speedy was Revilla indeed. Given only 5.5 seconds to execute the play, and receiving the …

The View From the Armchair: Game 11 vs FEU

Posted by Nel

s71-g11-feu-24The Green Archers failed to play their usual game last Saturday and went down to the fired-up FEU Tamaraws, 75-83 at the Philsports Arena. Except for the first quarter which ended in a 14-all tie, the Archers were outscored in the last three quarters, 18-23 (Q2), 15-17 (Q3), and 28-29 (Q4). The defense was inconsistent, with the Archers allowing the tams to tally 83 points. This represented the highest score of a La Salle opponent so far this UAAP season.

The game saw the return of Simon after he missed a few games due to injury. His presence failed to lift the Archers as mainstay JV was recovering from an illness he suffered that week. Perhaps realizing that the Archers were not at full strength, the tall and athletic Tams forced a fast-paced game in a effort to tire out the Archers. This forced Coach Franz to adopt an unusual rotation pattern, often substituting his guard line in an effort to conserve their energy for the end game. He also played small ball for extended periods of time to prevent match up problems with Tams, with Rico, James, Maui, …
