La Salle falls to Basilan 60-57. Will face Zamboanga tommorrow; early preview of Jacob vs Padrigao, frontcourt will be tested against 7'5 Sam Deguara and familiar foe Malick Diouf.

Who's playing for dlsu? If its the team a guys, good chance they'll beat valientes. Benilde just lost by 4 to them even with only two key guys playing no player taller than 6'5 in the lineup.

Very good experience for DLSU playing against a team like Basilan who plays prison style basketball. Just got to avoid injuries with these types of games.
The team suddenly looks smaller though with the departure of KQ and Austria and the arrival of Baclaan and Cortez. But credit to DLSU strength/conditioning/nutrition program, Jacob looks yoked all of a sudden (like most of the team). Pretty soon Marasigan might look like Rendon.

They still need a lot of growing up to do as a team. That jacob turnover really turned the tide against them. While the pablo offensive 3 sec call was the icing in valientes' cake.

People have forgotten how Jacob was a turnover machine mid-season in that SBU championship year of 2023. In that 5-game losing stretch, in one of those games he had 7 TOs if I remember it correctly, Not only in that stretch but in the games SBU lost he had a high TO rate. He has a knack for forcing shots even in traffic. That’s one factor why he didn’t make it to the mythical five; turnovers.
But all is forgotten as SBU played as a better team in the playoff run. Jacob was key in finding the open man in Game 3 primarily Yukien Andrada who exploded in the second half.

Yes, he took on that alpha role and accepted all the pressure and attention (from defenses) that came along with it. I think it enabled the other guys to have less pressure and maximize their roles.
Fortunately a lot of the kinks and figuring out were experienced in the regular games and he sort of figured it out in the playoffs.
Now he's back in that figuring out stage but I won't be surprised if he figures things out again.

La Salle should recruit an FSA who plays like Justin Brownlee and let Raven take care of center duties.

Mason Amos better be the Alpha of this team. KQ's absence is massive and it shows.

I think its gonna be baclaan. But man besides the dunks of phillips, the undersized benilde frontcourt outplayed dlsu's. As ive said, dlsu still has lot of issues to fix.
