NCAA Season 100

Good stats for mgc

Freshman of the year candidate for sure. Imagine if acido stayed, team might play themselves for a final 4 spot.

Axel doromal is underperforming.

Heard he's playing injured with a leg injury.

With the mapua v perps game, was it mapua underperforming or more of perpetual overperforming? Both baste and perpetual have been pleasant surprises so far.

I believe its both.
Mapua have 10 rookies, and most of them are still maturing, esp on decision making, learn to let go of useless fouls and more gelling/chemistry

If escamis will have off nights, mapua chance of winning is slim. Luckily they hit the crucial shots in this game.

Perpetual is a good team, they will be a contender next season and hopefully they keep their lineup intact.

Feels like the perpetual coaching staff has been doing wonders, good move they retained myk saguiguit and added gilas and ginebra coach richard del rosario to their staff. If im not mistaken, nat sevilla is the only graduating this yesr for them while guys like abis, boral and pagaran still have a year after this season.

What happened to recto pala, did he play?

Mapua is a deep team, its just that besides escamis, they need somebody to step up consistently scoring wise, especially on broken plays. Teams already know clint will get the ball and do something with it. This what happened to letran last year, since their offense was thrash, Reyson was always left with the ball and unfortunatly for him, all the teams know this and did a good job of shuttjng him down.

After their first three games, San Beda has become a two-man show with Sajonia (21 ppg) and Yukien Andrada (15 ppg). Quite reminiscent of Mapua from last season dynamic duo of Escamis and Hernandez.

The biggest surprise for me is Perpetual. With all the exodus of their core players, coach Olsen found a quality core this season; Pagaran, Gojo Cruz, Boral, Abis, Nunez, Manuel and Orgo.

Should Jun Roque, Omega and Nitura stayed, plus Acido chose to stay, with high caliber tactiticians, they could be finals team

I wonder if Mapua considered recruiting Fransman before Adamson got him first. Isn't he a former red robin(teammate of poli before the pandemic)

Its improving. After scoring 9 pts and committing 5 to's combined in his first 2 games, he got 14 pts in his last one while also taking care of the ball better with only 1 to. For his struggles, it should be attributed to the back injury he suffered which forced him to miss chunks of offseason preparation like Filoil which he missed entirely. When he returned, team was still being cautious with him, so he didnt immediately rejoined team A in their games and instead rehabbed and played with team b. So that messed up his chemistry with the team and that explains the miscommunications and turnovers. As for the scoring struggles, its mostly the gigil factor he admitted himself which had him forced his shots in the early games.

But then again theres signs of growth naman din. During his beda days, even in his early months with benilde, his offensive game usually revolves around playing in the perimeter, jacking up outside shots or driving to the basket. And personally wasnt a fan of it since his decision making also needed alot of work. He tooks lots of bad shots and often hero-balled when he couldve involved his teammates. Now, charles tiu has him play closer to the basket as a full time combo forward, often acting as playmaker near the post, the secondary passer to the other forward and big in the post, or the cutters from the perimeter. He has also develop better post up skills and shot more attempts near the baskets which is really his strength. He is also starting to defer more and not forcing his shots, which is infairness to him a sign of his maturity aund buying in to the system. Good thing for him, is he doesnt need to pressure himself, the coaching staff doesnt expect him to carry the load since the team is already loaded, they just want him to make the right plays. So as long as he composes himself and play the right way, continue working on his chemistry with his teammates, he should be fine and continue to improve.

Nice to hear that bro. Hope Sanchez continues to improve. He's a 6-foot-5 small forward with a Calvin Oftana like skill set.

Drex Delos Reyes and Joe Gulapa already playing with Mapua Team B. How about Manlapaz?

[Leidenfrost]

I feel like the game between SBU and EAC later will be intense, especially after that off-season scuffle they had. I hope the referees keep things in check to avoid any drama.
