The View From the Armchair: Game 7 vs UE

Posted by Nel

The Green Archers were battered and bruised but not bowed in losing to UE last Saturday, 62-68. Four Archers hit the floor, with two of the Archers forced out of the game with serious injuries early in the first quarter. Simon Atkins had to be rushed to the hospital after hitting the back of his head on the floor while defending against a driving Warrior. Marko suffered a season-ending ACL injury to the same knee that he spent a year rehabilitating. James went down on a sprained ankle but heroically came back to lead the Archers’ scoring. Rico banged his knee against another player, and lay on the court for a few minutes until he could be helped back to the bench. Despite these early setbacks, the Archers fought back valiantly to cut the margin to six at the final buzzer.

In a quirk of scheduling, the Archers first game in the second round is against first round tormentor UE, tomorrow, August 7. Marko is out for the season, and Simon is expected to remain in sick bay for 1-2 weeks.

A rough start

Both teams had a …

UAAP Season 71: Green Archers bow to Red Warriors.

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

img-20321With key players figuring in injuries, the Green Archers got a beating from the University of the East Red Warriors, 68-62, in the UAAP Men’s Basketball at the Araneta Coliseum last Saturday.

Just minutes after the opening tip-off, sophomore playmaker Simon David Atkins, suffered a head injury while trying to get a charging foul from UE’s Rudy Lingganay. Although Atkins did get the offensive foul, he hit his head hard on the floor, as the Green and White gallery watched in horror.  Atkins was brought out of the playing court with a stretcher on the way to the hospital. Atkins remained conscious after the fall, but complained of blurry vision. As of press time, there were still no updates on the condition of the former Baby Archer.

Later in the first quarter, center Marko Batricevic was also taken out of the playing court and never came back after hitting a rare three-pointer. He landed hard on a rehabilitated knee. It was reported that Batricevic would be out for the season due to an ACL injury. Forward James Mangahas suffered …

The View From the Armchair: Games 5(ADU) & 6(UP)

Posted by Nel


The Green Archers hurdled their opponents last week with relative ease, beating the Adamson Falcons, 76-61 last Thursday, and UP Maroons, 82-60 last Saturday at the Philsports Arena. With the twin victories, the Archers logged their fifth and sixth victories after an opening day loss.

Game 5: vs Adamson

The Archers got off a slow start in the first quarter to allow the Falcons to taste the lead at 4-8 before closing the quarter ahead, 18-11. The DLSU defense limited Adamson to 11 points in each of the first two quarters to steadily pull away at the half, 35-22. After the halftime break, the Archers again started off on the wrong foot to allow the Falcons to pull within 5 at 34-39 midway through the third quarter. Coach Franz turned to a combination of veterans and rookies, with JV, Peejay, Rico and Maui collaborating to finish the quarter strongly at 52-41. In the final quarter, the team merely coasted en route to a comfortable 15 point win.

Shooting

The team’s three point shooting was average, as they hit 6 out of 18 attempts. JV was hot, with 3/5. Bader had …

UAAP Season 71: Green Archers clobber Maroons for 5th straight win.

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

Displaying the team play that earned for them the championship plum last season, the DLSU Green Archers demolished the UP Fighting Maroons, 82-60, to claim their fifth straight win in six games in UAAP Season 71 Men’s Basketball at the Philsports Arena.

The defending champions limited their opponents to less than 20 points per quarter and scored 28 big points in the third canto in a game that saw all players donning the Green and White jersey entering the scoring column.

Both teams started slow in the first quarter hitting misses and committing several errors. But the Green Archers proved to be steadier and ended the quarter on top, 17-10, anchored on rookie sensation David Webb’s early 6-point explosion.

A barrage of three-pointers opened De La Salle’s offense in the 2nd quarter courtesy of a back-to-back triple from rookie Hyram Bagatsing and one from Bader Malabes that gave De La Salle a 14-point lead, 8:06 in the 2nd. With their opponents threatening to pull away, UP star player Woody Co ignited his offensive arsenal and scored 13 points, including 2 treys and breathed life to the Fighting Maroons. But De La Salle is just too much to bear for UP, as another Archer, …
