Tamaraws Choke In The Fourth

August 18, Saturday

SMART Araneta

ADM - 74    FEU - 71

Marked Man - >Greg Slaughter tries to make a move.

It ain't easy being Greg Slaughter - as this image shows.

 Both Kiefer Ravena [#15] and Buenafe [not in photo]

score double figures [Kiefer-12  Buenafe-10].

Above, RR Garcia tries to defend Kiefer.

The Rooster leads ALL scorers with 21.

But Ryan Buenafe's veteranship comes into play -

 

and with his great upper body strength and control, Ryan's "hangtime" skills keep the Tams guessing - until the last micro-second of a drive when Ryan would  either dish out or take it straight to the hole.

- Big vs Big -
Tamaraw Anthony Hargrove could have been slapped with goal tending

had he hit the ball.  He doesn't.   Slaughter converts on this one.

- Sight for Sore Eyes -
 Am glad to see my friends from the Ateneo, like Gia J. [above & below],

plus my friends from FEU - Photog Zymon Bumatay, Howard and

 his charmer of a girlfriend, Tamaraw Courtside Correspondent Judy Saril --

[last 2 photos in this post] all on courtside.

With the Tams in control during the 2nd Quarter [usually Ateneo's strongest], 

Gia can't seem to believe what's actually happening.

Ateneo finishes strong - pumping in 25 points, 

as compared to FEU's 18, during the 4th Quarter.

 The "Phenom" Kiefer Ravena and "Lastik Man" Rey Belo go at it.

Terrence Romeo [above, w Rey Belo on the background],

 paces himself during one of the end-game time outs,

 when Ateneo had already taken control.

Ka-Boom !

Ryan Buenefa "played almost like a point guard",

Black states during the post game brief.  Without a doubt,

Buenafe's presence is key in Ateneo's comeback  W.

- My buds from FEU -

See you Guys in the 2nd Round !
