NCAA Season 100

puno and andrada’s game fit in 3x3..

Remaining key games approaching F4:

Race to Final 4:

MU: SSC-R, AU 13-3
CSB: LPU, SBC 13-3
SBC: SSC-R, CSB 10-6
LPU: EAC, CSB 8-8
EAC: LPU, JRU 8-8
CSJL: AU 8-9

It appears that the final 4 will be:

MU
CSB
SBU

+Whoever wins the LPU-EAC tussle. Though LPU seems to have a tougher sched with CSB. My guess would be EAC will be able to sweep its next two games and march on the F4 for the 1st time.

It looks like a CSB vs MU in the finals. San Beda, this year, just doesn’t have what it takes to repeat. The feat they accomplished
last year, is possibly doable (very slim). But against either CSB or
MU, that will really be a tough task. Remember also that at the same time last year, the Red Lions gained momentum going in the F4 (with a huge beating of LPU).

The biggest issues really this year are team chemistry and lack of leadership. We know Yuki is trying but he is still falling short

Inconsistency is the narrative of the Red Lions this year.

Nygel is slowly gaining back his minutes. With him back I think it stunted the brilliant plays of Penny when he was out. The same can be said at the 2-spot where RC, Sajonia and Tagle juggling for playing time. With Sajonia out, Tagle was clicking. Expect Sajonia to slowly eat up Tagle and RC’s minutes.

It’s just unfortunate that the injuries at the guard spots have spoiled the chemistry of the team.

i'll give my sentiments when its final 4 already. San Beda will be different team when its final four. Experience and coaching adjustments will be an advantage for San Beda.

Yuri had a brainfart in this game. He should have blitzed Jimboy Estrada and let his teammates beat San Beda instead of him hitting those game winners. From the start of the season, he is probably the most clutch player in the league, arguably the best player in the league. He is arguably better than the reigning ROY/MVP.

[Caballerongdelata]

Jimboy Estrada's stop and pop is probably the best in college basketball. He is also a better all around player than EScamis, a better defender, a better finisher, a better shot creator. Its a pity he will not be eligible of ROY/MVP and even a Mythical 5 selection due to his suspension. But next season if he decides to stay with Letran, he will be a legitimate contender for MVP.

[The_Big_Cat]

Not San Beda’s day. Red Lions lost to the Knights 75-71 with Yukien Andrada going 0/8 3-FGs. Then Red Cubs lost to the Red Robins 61-60 in Pinoyliga Juniors with the Red Cubs best jump shooting big man Randale Medroso went 0/7 3-FGs. What a similarity.

Letran looking strong next season with Jimboy, Titing and Daniel Marcelo.

I dont think Jimboy will be the top player of Letran next season. It will be the former Mythical 5 member Jun Roque.

Also, it will depend if there will be no changes in the coaching staff.

Jun Roque over Titing and Daniel Marcelo?

I think escamis is the better defender between the two them. Playmaking wise i wanna give the slight edge to escamis as well due to jimboy being one if not still the league leader in to's. Escamis could average more assists if he wanted to. Offensively, i wanna say escamis is the better 3pt shooter while everything else jimboy does a lot well. Basketball iq imma give it to jimboy as well. Seems to know when to create for his own and his teammates.

Letran looking strong next season with Jimboy, Titing and Daniel Marcelo.

Doesnt matter who they have, nothing will change if allen ricardo still runs the same outdated system. He needs to adjust or he needs to step down. Ive been watching their team b games, even there, their players potential is getting stunted with the way they run their team.

Not to mention we lost our top player from last year. He provided scoring, playmaking and leadership. We basically replaced him with a group of players who so far have underwhelmed.

Let's hope they perform better in the playoffs. Last year's championship was a nice surprise. Even players I was critical of performed well. I hope we can catch the same magic this year

Escamis > Estrada

Both of them will be professional baller.
In my opinion, escamis is slightly better, the standings and awards will backed it up.

[ispangki]

game on the line.. who's going to take the shot? escamis or estrada?
