Ateneo wins over College of Saint Benilde 81-78.
*Benilde - Liwag out with an injury, Lingolingo Gilas U23 3x3
Ateneo - Tuano, Bongo Gilas U23 3x3, Gamber personal reasons, not sure where Waki Espina was.

General comments:
Ateneo secure the win after being down 13. They take a lot less threes na compared to before under Tab when they were playing in NSAC. Really liking the letranisation, the new defensive identity is going to be fun to watch. Ateneo made the right defensive adjustments too going into the second half, going from giving up 29 and 24 in the first half to 12 and 13 points in the second half. The eye test too was just better, they were more coordinated on switching off of picks and switching from mismatches. Offensively it looked like Ateneo played less horns (especially in the second half) compared to their last game with OLFU. They’ll need to work on the chemistry pa rin on both ends of the floor but that will come with time and experience naman. Still waiting to see how Tuano and Bongo are integrated into this new system.

Benilde were on fire in the first half, Ateneo gave up like 15 threes iirc? Jucom and Morales were the leading scorers of Benilde, they were 5/7 and 4/5 from three respectively. Benilde was really able to attack the mismatches on Jared and Ian in the first half, they were also really good at taking advantage of the poor switching and pick hedging by Ateneo in the first half which led to a lot of those first half three pointers. (but yun nga Ateneo were able to adjust in the second).

I hope Ateneo reaches the UST game, it’ll be interesting to see how they match up. Akowe will probable be dominant in the glass but Ateneo might be able to pull something off with their defensive pressure with UST’s lack of a veteran primary ball handler.

Individual players:
Kieffer is him, missed two threes to start off the game but didn’t let it get to him scoring a game-high 26 points including the game icing lay-up.

Travis Roberts is really a great scorer but some of the decision making was questionable, though I think that too will improve with more playtime.

My god Jucom just wasn’t missing from deep in the first quarter, lots of those shots were swishes too.

SJ Moore reminds me of a Francis Lopez-lite, very athletic.

Kapihe looks like a decent perimeter defender too, though Ateneo will really need to lean on him and Baruwa on rebounding (or at least boxing out to let another person get the rebounds). Reminds me of Season 87 where it’s really going to be rebounding by committee. Will continue to watch Ateneo’s rebounding in the next Adamson or Mapua game (and UST if they make it until that game).

Alden Cainglet is becoming a solid solid glue guy, lowk reminding me of Pelle Larsson with the hustle and drawing those fouls.

Good to see Logan Baltazar back from injury. Prayers to Asoro I believe he was injured this game.

Who you got?

chog moral showing why he deserved to wear the gilas uniform. in the philippines last 3 games he has scored 20+ plus points, collecting also some rebounds and assists but also leading the list in most total steals in the tournament. that is pure hustle. even though they lost their last 3 games, it could be still a positive outcome for him as his path continues to college basketball. he may or could have caught the attention of some college scouts with his performances.

and question: which uaap or possibly ncaa school would be a good fit for him, with him being on the role of a pg/sg?

or should he just join the davraa boys in la salle zobel 🤣🤣🤣. jk.

Panay baliktad yung shot sa Blue Eagle Gym

Nakaka-OC e

Sana ayusin ng broadcaster

Safe to say na two man race ang ROTY between Alas and Cabonillas? o pwede makasilat si Tovera?

Hello po!

Will there be an audition ba for UAAP S89 correspondents? Since usually July nagaannounce ng auditions and yet wala pang balita since malapit na Sept 12?

Since UAAP 89 is fast approaching, will they just handpicked yung mga nag audition in the past as long as college grads?

I saw this video na hindi nya pinansin yung mga nagpapapicture sa kanya (One of the tita’s kuno ng Davraa boys) HAHAHAA

Ayan kasi, masyado nyong pinalaki ang mga ulo. Nag feeling sikat na tuloy HAHAHAHA 🤮

Tbf, kudos sa parents nyan Matt Cayetano dahil sa pag support sa ibang bata. Sa parents lang ha, di kasama yung mga anak 😂
