SHS-Ateneo, USC 3-0 in Passerelle Play

-

Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu and the University of San Carlos recorded their third straight wins without a loss yesterday to share the top spot of the Passerelle division of the BEST SBP Passerelle Twin Tournament backed by Milo. SHS-Ateneo overcame the University of the Visayas, 39-34, while USC scored its second straight overtime win, 44-40 over Don Bosco Technical College Cebu.



In a game of tournament heavyweights, SHS-Ateneo trailed UV in the first half, recovered in the third, lost the lead in the fourth period before going on an end-game run to score the close win. They were down 7-10 and 15-23 at halftime before taking over the third period for a 29-26 lead going into the fourth period. UV however stormed back to tie the game at 31-all, then regain the lead at 34-31 on a big triple by Denisvee Sinoy. But that was all for UV as Joash Cutamora and Jared Bahay made a free throw each to give the Magis Eagles back the lead at 35-34. Bahay then drilled a clutch corner triple with 30 seconds left in the game to create breathing room for their side at 38-34. Bahay led the defending champions with 13 while Cutamora added nine. Lawrence Petchan led UV with 10 as Sinoy shared nine.

Winning games in overtime seems to be a habit for USC. After winning over SWU-PHINMA in overtime last Wednesday, the Baby Warriors lost a lead that they had built before waking up just in time to score the win. Leading comfortably at halftime, 21-13 and 30-23 after the third period, USC suddenly went quiet in the fourth period, allowing Don Bosco to mount a comeback and tie the game at 36-all on a big triple from Kelaiah Tapic, to send the game into overtime. In a reversal of fortunes, Don Bosco went scoreless in overtime as USC scored six unanswered points for a commanding 42-36 lead. Archimedez Allosada led USC with eight while Justine Ian Betinol added seven. SHS-Ateneo and USC now share the leadership in the team standings with identical 3-0 slates, followed by UV (2-1), DBTC (1-2), SWU-PHINMA (0-3) and SMS-Boystown (0-3).

Milo BEST: All Basics The Basketball Efficiency Scientific Training (BEST) Center has been around for 31 years, and it has been at the forefront of doing the most basic of basketball teaching: sticking to the basics. This is the primary content of the Milo-sponsored BEST Center basketball clinics that have become an institution in Philippine basketball. “We teach the fundamentals, lahat ng klaseng fundamentals ng basketball — that’s our philosophy, dahil sabi nila, basketball is just a series of fundamentals,” said Nic, who was inspired to bring the concept of basketball clinics to the Philippines 31 years ago when budding players at that time had no formal training in the sport. The BEST Center program is divided into four levels. Level 1 focuses on dribbling and ballhandling fundamentals. Level 2 is focused on the basics of shooting.
