My top 5's
This is my biased (lol!) rendition of Steve Kerr’s top 5 winners and losers of the eliminations of the UAAP Men’s Seniors Basketball tournament. Have fun reading! :P
Top 5 Winners:
1. Coach Dindo Pumaren and the UE Red Warriors. Enough said they have done the rare 14-game sweep of the eliminations. Congratulations to them.
2. The DLSU Green Archers. After loosing two straight games to Ateneo, we finally won the most important game of the elimination round. We’re number 2 baby!
3. Marnel Baracael of the FEU Tamaraws. This kid will be great next season. I like his game. He’s got the inside moves and the outside stroke. Watch out for the Tam’s next season. Will he be the next Arwind Santos?
4. Jervy Cruz of the UST Growling Tigers. Only in his second season and dominating the paint already averaging a double-double in points and rebounds for the season. This guy is the Tim Duncan of the UAAP. No fancy moves, no on-court antics, just plain basketball skills.
5. Ateneo and La Salle fans (and the scalpers!) because we were treated to a classic three game series only in the eliminations with a possible five game series at hand, if Ateneo wins its next two games. School pride aside, we were all treated to three incredible games. That’s how they miss each other J.
Top 5 Losers:
1. Brian Ilad. What in the hell are you thinking!? by throwing a punch from behind to Fampulme. You did not only help the streaking punching antics of DLSU (remember the punch to Arwind Santos? Lol), you also helped yourself out of the tournament. What a way to complete your last and rookie year. I was watching this guy during practices and he really has a lot of potential. Too bad a simple mental lapse can take it all away.
2. Coach Normal Black and the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Loosing to arch rivals DLSU in the most important game of the season so far for them. Tough luck but the law of averages caught up with them this time around. Good luck facing the defending champs in the knockout game J
3. Coach Joe Lipa and the UP Fighting Maroons. Even the hand of God can’t help those young kids win at least a basketball game. Better luck next year! Good thing you guys won the cheering competition.
4. Coach Bogs Adornado and Patrick Cabahug. After making it to the final four last year, it was a different story this year. This team lacks cohesiveness and teamwork. They are in fact a good team with Patrick Cabahug and Roel Hugnatan 1-2 punch but they really lack the team spirit and the will? Happy graduation Patrick Cabahug.
5. The NU Bulldogs. This team also has the pieces but they also lack the team spirit. A good point guard in Jonathan Jahnke, a decent shooter in Jonathan Fernandez and a very good forward in Edwin Asoro. They failed to make the final four but hey, thanks for beating Ateneo.
