Falcons swoop down on Archers in Filoil tiff

Posted by GREENARCHERS.PH

Posted in Philstar
Adamson U relied on its fluid offense to hack out a 83-65 rout of still off-form Dela Salle U for its sixth straight win in the Filoil-Flying V Pre-Season MVP Cup yesterday.
Leo Canuday and rookie Allen Etrone combined for four three-pointers in the last period to finish with 14 and 11 points, respectively, for the red-hot Falcons who warded off every comeback by the Archers to conclude their eliminations tally at 6-1 in Group A.
Fiery guard Jeric Canada and Austin Manera added 23 more to pace the Falcons.
“The game plan was to really dictate the tempo of the game,” said Adamson coach Leo Austria. “Everytime they run, we contain it.”
Adamson posted their biggest lead at 22 points twice in the fourth quarter as the Archers, who stretched their losing skid to two after their return from a three-week training from the US, failed to hit their stride and missed on five straight three pointers until the five-minute mark.

The Archers trailed majority of the contest behind the 11-point losing efforts of Bader Malabes and James Mangahas.

Things To Watch Out For In UAAP Season 72

Posted by GREENARCHERS.PH

Posted by Tony L Atayde in his column “The Green Mind” at inboundpass.com

    It feels great to start writing again. I had a horrible freak accident while on tour in Istanbul Turkey. I broke my wrist and was in a cast for almost 2 months. However, the cast is out and just in time for me to write my first column in over 2 months.

    With the summer leagues going full swing, college basketball season is slowly but surely starting to hog the sports headlines. The UAAP is definitely where my interest lies. As I was recuperating from my accident, I was thinking of last year and what are the things to watch out for in Season 72.

    Officiating:

    Will the referees again decide the games? After last year’s horrendous officiating, the UAAP Board has to make sure that there is a vast improvement in the way the games are called.

    NABRO has been replaced and rightfully so. This year’s host, FEU, was many times the victim of the shabby and at times suspiciously shady calls by the refs. The bad calls made on FEU last year resulted in suspensions for the referees concerned.

    Word has it …

    Defending champion Letran College defeated De La Salle Zobel in the Filipino-Chinese Basketball League Freego Jeans Cup’s championship match Saturday at Buddhacare Gym in Quezon City, 85-82.

    With starting line up of Jerelan Tampus, Glenn Khobuntin, Mark Cruz, Jeffrey Ongteco and Jose Cabigas, Letran Squires and the Little
    Archers closed the first half with 36-36.

    But Tampus scored a total of 49 points and was declared the most valuable player while the rest of the scores were shared between Cruz, Khobuntin and Ongtengco.

    The Archers meanwhile relied on Luigi Dela Paz who shot 26 points and Nico Elorde, 16 points and 15 rebounds, with Anton Sevilla, Gwayne Capacio and Arnold Vanopstal providing support.

    Letran Coach Elmer Naponio said that the team’s determination led to their victory but admitted it was a Tampus show.

    “I’m happy and proud of Tampus although I must say that I also have expectations with the other players, but yes I am happy,” said Naponio adding that the team is ready for the upcoming NCAA season.

    In an earlier match, Ateneo de Manila University won over San Beda Red Cubs, 74-69. Luis Sinco shot 18 points while Red Cubs depended on Amer Baser who scored …

San Sebastian sinks Green Archers in FilOil tourney; CSB wins in double OT

Posted by jp_abcede

The De La Salle Green Archers suffered the consequences of a slow start, succumbing to San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 73-59, on May 27 at the FilOil-Flying V Preseason Manny V. Pangilinan Cup at the FilOil-Flying V Arena.

The Stags stringed together a 15-2 run midway of the first quarter to go ahead, 25-9. Coupled with the Archers’ lax defense, the first ten minutes ended with DLSU trailing 13-30.

San Sebastian then started heating up from the perimeter as a flurry of three-pointers gave the Recto-based squad its largest gap of 33, 58-25, from a Jimbo Aquino triple, 8:16 of the third.

The green and white squad tried its hardest to come back in the final canto, managing to cut the lead to a more respectable 14-point spread.

This is De La Salle’s first defeat in the FilOil tournament, but its third consecutive counting the two setbacks suffered in the Nike Summer League the past few days.

Former Staglet Arvie Bringas scored 12 points and Bader Malabes had ten to lead the Archers.

Aquino pumped 18 points with Raymond Maconocido notching 12 for Baste. Former Nokia RP Youth Team member Ian Sangalang had ten markers.

Meanwhile, sister team College of Saint Benilde …
