Ateneo vs UE - Rnd 1 ->Overtime !!

August 10 - Mall of Asia Arena

Sumang and Ravena

 Score Season Highs 

Ravena Rallies the Eagles Back 

to force Overtime

---  Timeout - 32.4 ticks left - Ateneo ball ---

While Head Coach Bo Perasol temporarily takes a back seat,

Ronnie Magsanoc Calls the Shots on this One.

{My impression IS, that Coach Ronnie has a very particular play in mind}

 'Ey !, My first ever portrait of Coach Magsanoc !!

Under duress - No Less !!    Cool !

- Where Eagles Dare -

While thousands of UAAP fans
 [in the MoA Arena and at home] watch -
Kiefer Ravena Drills the Shot on this One !!

 The Unsaid

Charles Mammie scores 10 points in the 1st Qtr but manages only a total of 8 in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and OT period combined - Come the OT period Mammie's demeanor is that of "quiet desparation" ? - frustration ??

No offense meant to Charles {TBTold, He IS a good buddy 'o mine} I'm just tellin' it as I photographed it. OK ?

After an impressive 1st Qtr., limiting the Eagles to 10 markers whilst having their biggest single quarter output [this season] of 28 points - the Red Warriors are outscored by the Eagles in the next three quarters [by 5 in the 2nd, by 4 in the 3rd and by 9 in the 4th.

When the OT Period commences - Everybody knows it's going to be ANYBODY's ball game. -- Another UAAP Thrilla in the offing  !!

Just the Way I Like It !! ---> SU--LIT !!!

Hmmm  - Shouldn't the board indicate OT ??

{reg time ended at 80-all}

{I thought MoA Arena was State of the Art ?}

What the photo suggests, tho - is that

in the last 2:22

Sumang scored 3 more points while

Ravena scored 7 more points 

Now, Do the 7 images above say it all ?

Definitely Not - So, here are a few more 

Words and [randomly arranged] Pictures
from regulation time

[#4] Nico Elorde and [#10] Paul Varilla collide. Elorde misses. 

The ref doesn't make a call. Gideon "Biboy" Babilonia gets

 the offensive board  [photo below] for a quick putback !

Ravena vs Sumang
Roi - 30 pts / 5 rebs / 7 assists 
Kiefer - 38 ts / 9 rbs / 6 assists

Five of eight from 3-point land for Roi Sumang !

Three of nine 3-pt. shots are converted by Pedrito Galanza.

--- Nutshell ---
If it's Sumang / Galanza / Mammie for UE ---

It's Ravena / Pessumal /Newsome for Ateneo

[#19] Von Pessumal misses ALL four of his 2-pt. FGoal attempts

BUT converts 6 of his 7 rainbow shots !!

Below is one of his game-changing threes [in the 4th].

Von scores 6 points in the 4th Qtr and 3 points in the OT Period !

--- Another BIG Three from Von ! ---

--- 41 minutes on court ! ---

[#11] Chris Newsome has only 4 minutes of rest [4 Quarters & OT] !

Chris drills in 18 for Ateneo and hauls down 9.

  [Mammie, for UE, gets 13 boards]

--- Jumpball within the last five minutes of Reg Time ---

Arvin Tolentino misses ALL his FG 7 attempts,
[called for charging - photo above]
but manages 9 rebounds, and 3 points off charities.

 [2 images above / 1 below]
Blue Eagle fans hold their breath as Ravena writhes in pain -
Fortunately [eventually] , Kiefer walks this one off.

--- Can't Deny Kiefer ---

When Ravena's on a Roll - He's practically Unstoppable !

Seeing Red

Take this one of Yvette Din, during the halftime break.

With the Warriors ahead by 13, Yvette can't help but be

optimistic and confident that UE will finally get Win #3.

True Blue

"Pahabol photos" aren't really my style - STILL -
 My instincts tell me WHEN I CAN Break "My Rules" 
and get Still get away with a Good One.

I chance a QUICK "shout out" to Laura Lehmann, 
as she eagerly rushes to the dugouts w/ the elated Eagles.
 Compose and Click !! All in a Wink !!

{ Minsan, mga Pre ---> "OL IT TIKS IS ONE PITIK"  -  Hahaha  ! }

{ Me, I love being charmed outta my creative wits !! } 
Why Not ?
Thanx Lau ! 

 Adore this one !
