Ateneo vs UST - Round 2

August 30 - SMART Araneta

Kiefer Tames the Tigers - Again

[#16] Fonso Gotladera streches to try to block [#20] Karim Abdul.

[#4] Nico Elorde challenges the King Tiger [#20] Karim Abdul.

Just feel like posting two of my favorites from the ADM-UST match, to lead the few Decent Action Images in this post.

As expected, Karim Abdul, Aljon Mariano, and Louie Vigil have to lead the Tigers and hope to survive this one, despite Kevin Ferrer's [Incredolously unlucky to have to miss the rest of Season 77, due to his disabled non-shooting hand  being injured in training] absence.

But with The Phenom shooting 45% from the field, and Ateneo, teamwise, shooting 41.82% and UST shooting 38.98% from the field - the chances for a UST W become slim to none.

  

Kiefer on the Clutch

Ravena's 10-point 4th Qtr points ultimately seal the fate of the

"Ferrer-less Tigers"
FYI - Kiefer's 13 boards {equal to Karim's}
and 23 points -earns him a double-double !

Newsome [above-dribbling] and Elorde [below-#4] score 14 and 7 points, respectively.

With Gotladera missing ALL his 3 attempts, Pessumal and Elorde scoring below double figures -- rookie [#17] {below left} John Apacible's 7 markers,
[#18] {below right} Gideon "G-Boy" Babilonia's 3, and [#13] Arvin Tolentino's 6 [no photo]  -- of the bench - couldn't have come at a better time.

  

[#8]  Isaac Lim tries to steal the ball from [#6] Sheak Sherrif.

Rookie [#17] Henri Subido defends against [#15] Kiefer Ravena.

Final
Ateneo - 69     UST - 58
