Today, the Ateneo De Manila University will attempt to secure the last finals seat but the Far Eastern University hopes for an upset and extend the series to a grudge match.<br /><br />The Blue Eagles welcomed the Tamaraws with a back-to-back three pointers courtesy of Vince Tolentino and Thirdy Ravena. But FEU wasn’t impressed at all. The Tamaraws fired back spearheaded by ex-Ateneo Forward Arvin Tolentino and even led the Eagles by 5.<br /><br />Shooting guard Alex Inigo found his comfort zone from the outside as he ended the 1st quarter with a smile on his face and 6-point 21-15 FEU lead.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />FEU had escalated its margin to 9 but Matt Nieto came back strong as the Eagles started the 2nd period and trimmed the lead down to just 3. Coach Nash Racela alarmed by Ateneo’s run, called for a mandatory timeout to talk things over.<br /><br />After Racela’s timeout, Nieto again launched a trey for the tie, 24-all with 7 more minutes remaining in the half.<br /><br />Tamaraws Ron Dennison and Richard Escoto answered Matt Nieto’s outside sniping and brought their lead back again to 6. <br /><br />Thirdy Ravena checked back in and made a couple of baskets to cut the number to just a single shot, 38-35 as the 1st half clock expired.<br /><br />Eagle Anton Asistio immediately released a long shot right after the ball was inbounded at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Ron Dennison however, countered with 2 triples followed by an up and under hoop to escalate their advantage to 10. <br /><br />Under 2 minutes of the 3rd period, FEU maintained its double-digit lead by tightening its defense on Ateneo and savored its rival’s missed shots from all angles of the court. At the end of the penultimate quarter, the Tamaraws once again led the Eagles 59-48.<br /><br />Arvin Tolentino kept his team up as he initiated the run and gun plays. The 6’5” forward did the dirty jobs defensively and converted them to points off turnovers. Ateneo on the other hand, started to lose the fight little by little as turnovers and blank shots continued to pile up.<br /><br />Desperate to find an antidote against FEU’s onslaught, Coach Tab Baldwin tried to field in 4 guards and an undersized center to counter Tamaraw’s own run plays. But it just backfired as they lacked height in grabbing the boards and gave FEU the advantage to bucket second-chance points.<br /><br />As the coliseum barker announced the 2-minute warning, FEU’s lead had gone up to 17 and as the final horn was blown, the Tamaraws scored a win, 80-67 against the top-seeded Blue Eagles and forced a win-or-go-home game number 2 come Wednesday, November 23 where the winner will face the defending champions De La Salle University Green Archers.<br /><b><br /></b> <b>— Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

Photo Credit: abs-cbn.com</td></tr></tbody></table><br />It was October 8 this year since these archrivals first met in Season 80. Both teams were separated by just a half-shot, 76-75 in favor of the Katipunan-based, Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles.<br /><br />Since the season opened, the Blue Eagles remained unbeaten. Today, the defending champions, the Green Archers tried to break the ice to prevent their arch nemesis in taking the automatic finals spot.<br /><br />The Green Archers opened the scoreboard and kept the Blue Eagles scoreless for the 1st 3 minutes.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Midway of the 1st, the game was tied at 7-all. But Ateneo got too unlucky after its biggest player, Chibueze Ikeh was whistled for his 2nd personal foul. Backup big man Isaac Go checked in for Ikeh and  promptly scored under the basket against La Salle’s Ben Mbala.<br /><br />Another problem came up for Coach Tab Baldwin as streak shooter Jollo Go started to heat up from the rainbow country. Timely explosion of Matt Nieto from all angles of the floor provided much-needed help for Ateneo as they kept the advantage after the opening quarter, 22-17.<br /><br />Coach Aldin Ayo didn’t like the smaller Ateneo taking the lead as the first ended so he went for his big guns Ben Mbala and Abu Tratter as his starters for the 2nd period to turn the momentum to La Salle’s side.<br /><br />Coach Ayo’s decision to bring in his howitzers paid off as the Archers dominated the boards and gave Mbala 8 quick points off offensive rebounds. Despite La Salle’s full control of the shaded lane, Coach Baldwin didn’t bother to sub in Chibueze Ikeh as his 2nd string center played very well offensively.<br /><br />Without a big defender, basketball looked too easy for the Cameroon National player Ben Mbala. Mbala’s onslaught gave way for La Salle to catch up and tie the game at 30-all with over 3 minutes left in the half. Mbala however sustained a bad fall after a rebound battle but signaled that he was ok and continued to play.<br /><br />Ricci Rivero’s three pointer totally grabbed the lead from the Eagles and turnovers started to pile up for Coach Tab Baldwin and his boys. Chibueze Ikeh checked back in to stop the surging Ben Mbala. Ike’s presence didn’t make any difference for Ateneo as La Salle wrapped up the 1st half with the 37-35 lead.<br /><br />As the 3rd quarter started, Ben Mbala continued to punish Ateneo under the rim. Along with that, Chibueze Ikeh sustained his 4th personal foul and immediately relegated to the bench to preserve his last foul. <br /><br />Thirdy Ravena sensed that his team was in real deep trouble, so he stepped up and managed to retake the lead from the Archers. Ravena even sized up against Ben Mbala and duped the Cameroonian in one play. Ravena outwit Mbala on the three point lane and and got fouled. The King Eagle sank all his foul shots to widen their lead.<br /><br />Ateneo has totally regained full control of the game with the help of Matt Nieto and Jolo Mendoza. Raffy Verano somehow contained and slowed down the monster Mbala as the Eagles finished the third quarter with a 9-point, 63-54 lead.<br /><br />Blue Eagles hit the dozen lead as Chris Porter sank a trey but the Archers countered with a quick 4 points as the final quarter unfolded.<br /><br />The Archers made an 8-0 run to bring the lead down to just 2. Isaac Go unleashed a ring-less trey to extinguish the waxing hot hands of La Salle and bring Ateneo’s lead to 5 again.<br /><br />Ben Mbala was simply unstoppable in this game. With 5 more minutes left in the game, he had already posted 26 points, 18 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks. With his efforts, La Salle just trailed Ateneo by 2 points.<br /><br />At the 2-minute warning, Ateneo was protecting a 5-point thin lead. La Salle started to applied pressure defense and forced Ateneo to commit turnovers that they converted them into valuable points. <br /><br />With 1:21 remaining, the Green Archers were able to bring the lead down to just 1.  Kib Montalbo’s floater gave La Salle the advantage with 40 ticks left in the game clock.<br /><br />Ateneo had the chance to win the game with 12 seconds remaining. Isaac Go took the shot from the inbound but missed. Go then intentionally fouled Ricci Rivero to stop the clock. Rivero completed the foul shots for a 3-point lead, 79-76 and closed the eliminations with a win.<br /><br />Ateneo, despite the loss, will still cling onto the top spot and will face FEU Tamaraws in the semifinals that will start on November 18. La Salle on the other hand, will face the Adamson Falcons.<br /><br /><b>— Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

Belo averaged 17.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1 block per game during the championship series.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Roger Pogoy and Mike Tolomia  scored 14 points each during the game. <br /><br />The Tamaraws won Game 1 with a final score of 75-64. However, Growling Tiger’s Kevin Ferrer  completely changed the face of the game after leading the team to a 62-56 victory against the Tamaraws.
