Great 1st season matchup between the UE Red Warriors and the UST Growling Tigers.
Observations:
- Jervy Cruz had 20+ points and 20+ rebounds after the game… and thats with a still recovering pulled hamstring… looks like its going to be another MVP trophy for his trophy case
- Somebody should tell Paul Lee that there is no trash talking in UAAP Basketball, because it cost him 2 technical fouls and an ejection in the 3rd Quarter… or at least he shouldn’t do it within earshot of the ref’s *snicker* I think his ejection also helped UST claw back from the double digit hole UE put them in.
- Thiele and Espiritu are still the same rebounding demons that they are, except Thiele has become more active in scoring
- Lousy 3 point shooting for UST this game, must be opening jitters
- A lot of travelling and double dribble calls… opening jitters or the refs have better eye sight this season?
- Japs Cuan’s free throw shooting has improved… Goodbye Hack a Japs… still no 3 point shooting though… DLSZ alum, Jeric Fortuna, played backup for him….tough first game for him having to matchup against Arellano and Martinez
- Lot of air balls in the fourth from UST… some mightily tired players…
On the first game FEU won over Adamson but the game didn’t come easily as Adamson surprised them with an improved Galinato. Adamson even took the lead behind the scoring of Galinato and this other guy I forget who. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, teams better be prepared once they go up against Adamson.
