NCAA Season 100

Both are obviously talented, just a matter of them having the right mindset going in an uber tough ncaa. If they are able to make the adjustment, they should have no trouble thriving with the team. Another question is how well will they mesh with returning guys next season. This year Are was able to do what he did due to him having all the touches he wants, next year with more scorers coming in, how will he make the adjustment that would also get those guys touches. He cant be season 99 kurt reyson 2.0 fot baste next season. Imo if Are successfully makes himself as a legitimate playmaker, he could go high in the following pba draft being a total package.

That is if Are stays til next year. In one of the recent interviews, according to him he still has 2 years after this season but he’s undecided yet whether he will return next season. Maybe he has an offer already in MPBL. With the addition of current recruits and if Are stays next season, Baste could go back to relevance. Are would be really vital for next season. I think he’s number 1 in steals and assists this season. Also on that interview, graduating players for Baste is Reggs Gabat and Escubido. So it’s really a must for Are to stay since we’re losing Escubido. But I personally believe Are will stay coz in one of the interviews, he said he’s vowing to San Sebastian community to bring Baste back in the final 4. Since we’re out of final 4 this season, he still has some unfinished business and he has a better chance of bringing Baste back in final 4 next season with the addition of the incoming recruits.

Personally if its only for the mpbl, he should just stay in ncaa and continue to build his stock. There are still things he can improve on. But if its an overseas offer, he should take it. But yeah having Are next year will be big for baste's final 4 chances.

Letran's final 4 hopes not looking good.

Even if they end up tied with any of them, on head to heads they're toast.

Against EAC -8, LPU -9, UPHSD -1

And they still have to face beda and benilde who im sure is hungry for some vengeance. Big chance they might finish the season below .500

Eac with the blueprint on how to beat them. Force estrada and cuajao out on offense and let the other guys score.

As good as coach ricardo has been advertise since winning in jrs program, i still see him as ordinary/average for now compared to the likes of coaches tiu,yuri,jerson...he was not able to adjust when eac zoned them and clamped down on jimboy and cuajao...then in reversal to their jru game, where jru let jimboy beat them and clamped down on his supporting cast, coach ricardo has no plan b...given in both games jru and eac, letran has interior size advantage that they didnt capitalize...but i hope he coach ricardo still handles the knights next year at the full start of delta era for him to adjust and learn more from his rivals.

I agree he hasnt done a good job of making game time adjustments. And i dont think he has the right personnel currently for his system to work. Just like what DlsuGleagueAffiliate said. Seems like the lack of a really good facilitator in titing which can also create on his own is really hurting them. Most of the guys right now are also not quick enough to run in transition which the squires where known for. Not enough shooters as well (monje has been a disappointment and cuajao is more cold than hot all season long) Defensively they've also been lacking. To's and getting outrebounded every game also doesnt help.

Yeah. He could really improve his game next season since the offensive load on him wouldn’t be that heavy since there are a lot of other offensive options available next season. He could improve the other facets of his game besides his offense. And he could have better offer in the pros if he brings Baste back in the final 4.

I really hope as well for Baste to get additional 2 reliable centers. It’s good that we now have Dimaunahan. I think he’s the tallest among all the current centers of Baste even the ones that we have on team A. Dimaunahan’s frame is not that great but he’s bulkier than Velasco. If Baste manages to get at least two reliable 6’6 and up centers, we’ll solve our problem in the big man rotation and Velasco and Ricio could play 4. I really think that they would play better as 4 with the length and body frame that they have.

The moment manalili was deemed ineligible i know this team was in trouble. That allen ricardo offense revolved around him and with him out, so did the system. If you watched their games they do anything special. Just handoffs to estrada. You wont win a lot with that kind of play, asking to much on one guy. This letran team doesnt really look like the squires team he handled. Its been far off.

is coach allen on his way out of Letran?
or can he accept to be relegated to asst coach on S101 (assistant to coach aldin or anyone from SGA/Delta group)

[ispangki]

it was observed by one of the commentators that Knights body language was off.. seems lacking in motivation and effort or just going thru the motions..

will he demoted to one of the assistants next year? can he still go back to coach the squires with Willie around?

Benilde officially locks a final 4 spot. But that 2nd half performance was meh. Execution has been all over the place.

[DlsuGleagueAffiliate]

Kudos to Charles Tiu, 3rd straight final 4 appearance for csb. They've also passed on last year's 11-7 record with this 12th win.

That 2nd half's not gonna fly against Mapua and Beda. Heck, even Letran and Lyceum.

For sure, but ill attribute that to the bench, perpetual made that big run after liwag and company sat in the 3rd qtr.

Next game against mapua will he big. Mapua needs to win by more than 7 if they want to nab that number 1 spot.
