Final Four -- NU vs Ateneo -- Post Match

September 24 - SMART Araneta

At the Bulldogs Dugout 

[images randomly sequenced]

I was at their dugout after they eliminated UE last Saturday - now, come 4 days later, I'm present again, this time, after they erase Ateneo's twice-to-beat advantage and bringing NU just a Win away
to the UAAP Finals.

Really AIN'T in the mood for captions, these days - maybe I'll just  insert the images na lang - for now { Have a TON of VERY SERIOUS Business/LEGAL  {not to mention SERIOUS personal/friendship}Matters to attend to in the next 5 days or so  ..........  I Badly Need help from the Man Up Above - { Help !}

Prayers of Thanks -- tempered with Humility and Gratitude

Isn't that former Bulldog Jewel Ponferrada ?

Coach Altamirano firmly stresses on the mindset he wants the boys to have - now that both Ateneo and NU are a win away from the First Finals Slot.

"It's NOT about beating Ateneo - 
It's about Getting Into the FINALS"

I shoot the image above and below - outside the dugouts.
 

Homer So [far right] joins the Altamiranos for this one

The eldest, Anton, is in an NCAA match, so,
  it's only Luigi and Abigail w Dad Eric and Mom Marissa here.


On Wednesday, October 1 -
 The Eagles and Bulldogs clash for the last time this season.
The loser goes home while the winner goes on tho the UAAP Finals.

Final Four -- NU vs Ateneo -

September 24 - SMART Araneta

Bulldogs Take Down Eagles

Erase Ateneo's Twice-to-Beat Advantage

Look at Rod  Alejandro's shooting stats !

Kiefer Ravena - on his WORST shooting percentage ever ?

coverts only 7 of his 26 2-pt. attempts / 2 of his 9 rainbow attempts/

and  4 of his 9 free throws

NU's D somehow factored in the Blue Eagles' 34% shooting clip, about 17% below the Bulldogs' 51% shooting clip.

Surprisingly, NU had 26 Turnovers as compared to Ateneo's.

FEU vs La Salle - Playoffs

September 21 - Mall of Asia Arena

Tams and Archers Battle for 2nd Spot

FEU - 65     La Salle - 60

Both Mike Tolomia [above] amd Carl Cruz [below] REACT right after converting baskets and being fouled in the process.

 Probably,  the Biggest Basket {so far} in FEU Team Captain Carl Cruz' UAAP career [this is his last playing year] - A clutch basket, in the closing seconds of that tight match, contributing to the Win bringing the Tams just a game away from the UAAP Finals !!! 
 {and the Archers' dethronement, at that}

Counted and Fouled !!!

 

We'll see, come September 27, Saturday, if the Archers will stave of defeat and dethronement -- or will the Tams have the pleasure of dethroning DLSU - after having been knocked out of the race in the two seasons previous - by, Yes, the Green Archers.
