NCAA Season 100

This san beda loss highlights the holes in their team. A consistent go to guy other than sajonia and andrada. This where calimag and payosing should have stepped up. A lack of good interior presence, that can help stretch the floor especially when the perimeter shots arent falling. Lastly the over reliance on the system, similar to the blazers game, eac did a solid job of defending them, often relying on 2nd chance pts (15 to 8 advantage). They also need to take care of the ball, they had 17 that led to 15 pts for eac. Looks like the lost of Jacob Cortez and Cliff Jopia still stings for them.

Im not a fan of tagle. He has no defense at all. Almost all of the open looks of eac came from him.

He is also VERY inconsistent with his shooting, the past 2 games he was left wide open for most of his shots and still missed it.

So looks like the mapua v beda game is the last of the marquee matchups for the 1st rd.

Benilde went 3-0 against 3 potential final 4 teams, EAC is 1-2.
Mapua is 1-1 at the moment and San Beda is 0-2

Also true but I would stick pick Etulle over Hawkins for now. Etulle is ready while hawkins is still a bit raw.

Yup no doubt etulle is ready. Tagala needs to be out of the rotation and lineup. I heard he is the true leader of this team "locker room guy" but we dont need that with this kind of lineup.

EAC with a statement game against San Beda. Early Final 4 favorites as of now: Mapua, CSB, Beda , EAC

Haha actually thats one thing i noticed, seemed like eac defended beda the same way benilde did in their game. Even baste too, just unfortunate for them that they lost Are early due to fouls. Tight man on man D, sticking on their man during screens, and rotating very well on pass outs. Minimal pressure but still able to force to's.

Yup too much reliance on the system. This is the problem since last year when SBU lost like 6 straight. And again was amplified this preseason.

Sometimes Yuri should go off script and play thru his players strengths.

This game is a goner for them. And will sting for a long time because of how lopsided this loss is going to be.

another wake up loss for the Red lions. Still too early but it's better to lose now. EAC vs Beda rematch would be exciting

Thats my final 4 teams even before the season began haha. Too many guys discounting EAC out. But with LPU losing a lot of key guys and Letran basically starting over with a new system. I think that 4th spot is EAC's to lose. Jerson Cabiltes is underrated as a coach. The plays he runs looks great to watch.

[kinglion]

I think lina will be activated asap. He will be the difference maker in this San Beda lineup

je lopez >>> tagala
kyle jamora, zairose mina >>> estacio

Be careful, Zairose Mina is like a Josh Tagala. Not a dribble drive creator and is only a spot up shooter. Not to mention his body is soft on defense.

Tagle was one of the more consistent shooters in the preseason. But was not the same player after the US training. It’s like his mind is not focused on basketball at all.

Kyle Jamora will be a good player next year. He was the closer in Team B games last year. Even edging out Estacio and Dinaculangan in playing time. High IQ player, does not take a lot of shots and a reliable defender.

haha.
its a company for high end pets.

What type of “pet” lols

just kidding!

CSB seems miles ahead of the competition at this point of the season…

Meanwhile, San Beda seems still at the “figuring out” stage. This could be an effect of the late decision for its final lineup. I mean, during the offseason, you rarely see them play together…time will tell whether they would be able to peak through the long season…but with the close gaps between all the teams, you need to jack up wins early in the season…

Because CSB started preparing earlier. Their core players today are their Team B from last year. They started with the AsiaBasket last year. Then continued with the PSL stint in January with Sanchez and Ynot in the MPBL. In that same month CSB lent Liwag and Sanchez for SGA’s stint in the Dubai Invitational.

San Beda started late. They gave an extended vacation to the Team A guys who won the crown. Then we had the Payosing holdout. SBU’s first practice (combined Team A and B) was early February. By that time CSB was miles ahead in terms of chemistry. And knee surgeries of Lina and Tolentino complicated things further for SBU’s S100 preparations.

Csb started as soon as the core this season moved in last year and that was by april or may. While csb team A was playing in Filoil, team B composed of the transferees played for pinoyliga as both tourneys coincided with one another. Charles tiu even played Sangco, Cajucom, Serrano, Jarque, morales, arciaga with that same team B so even by then their chemistry was already developing with their future teammates in team a this season. So by the time they played in asiabasket, they atleast have an idea what their roles were already.

Haha i remember this, while gozum and company was busy with filoil, ancheta, ynot and the rest of the guys were already showing their wares in pinoyliga. Coaching staff did a good job of managing both teams a and b. Especially having the foresight to have guys like sangco, who are only a few of the returning vets to return this year, to play with the transferees as early as last year. This is why i always say liwag's group is the true beneficiary of Rajko system, and not gozum's team. Because liwag and company had the benefit of mastering the system for more than year compared to gozum's group who only had months to learn it before season 99 started.
