Watch the first quarter of Perpetual vs Benilde, NCAA Basketball held on September 18, 2024. #NCAA100SigloUno #InspiringLegacies #GMASports #GMASynergy
00:00Justin Sanchez, Antonio Eusebio, to come off the bench and lead the second unit, first quarter.
00:08It is officially here, game is underway. Laban ng Perpetual contra Vinil here in the first round.
00:13Martin Aviar alongside Prince Rivero here in the broadcast with Mikaela Mindanao
00:19as the member, the third member of our broadcast crew. First crack at the basket
00:24for the Perpetual Alphas 2-1 suffering their first defeat
00:28in season 100 in a close encounter with Mapua. And they begin with a miss for Jericho Nunez.
00:37Okay, Martin, take note, I saw how the defense started, the CSP, Vinil Blazers,
00:44and they are very aggressive in terms of pressuring the off-ball, the offensive side.
00:50And that's a good sign for this game because we know they are aggressive on defense,
00:57which is a good start for them to win this game.
01:05And they're forced two misses already from the Perpetual. Morales from the corner.
01:13Enot offensive board, he puts it back in to start off the scoring in this match. Tony Enot is on the
01:20board.
01:35Harke will be called for the foul. Good extra pass coming from
01:40Air Pagaran or Chris Pagaran.
01:54Another pass to Nunez. This time he will post up against Liwag to no avail.
02:00That's great defense by Alan Liwag on the extension.
02:05They swing it to the other side here. Ian Torres, off the heel.
02:11That's another rookie. But, you know, he's been around different leagues already, and it's going to be a foul on him.
02:23The Vinil Blazers trying to be aggressive and looking for their shots from way beyond the arc.
02:29And especially in this day and age,
02:44and even the big guys are out there shooting.
02:47We saw that in Nunez earlier. Wow, two blocks for Zendrick Harke on Pagaran.
02:53Tony Enot thought about it. All air that time. And here comes Perpetual, Goho Cruz.
03:03Goho Cruz's first shot. Goho Cruz, that one, gophers out.
03:07Perpetual to begin this contest.
03:21Tony Enot releases. Still misfiring. Alan Liwag hustling for the ball.
03:27And he puts it back in.
03:37To try and get those offensive rebounds.
03:47Let's use this opportunity to go courtside.
03:53Let's go to Mikaela Mindanao. Mikaela, go ahead.
03:57Friends and Marlin, today we will witness the battle of the rookies, Mark Goho Cruz and Jumel Ancheta coming into this game.
04:06He wants to play as someone with a veteran IQ because even though he's just a rookie, he wants to prove that he can fill in the role that Coach Olsen is giving him.
04:18On the other hand, Jumel Ancheta of the Benil Blazers said that his energy and defense would boost the morale of the team.
04:24His plan is to control the offensive rebound and reduce the points of their key players.
04:28His winning mentality as a rookie would help the team.
04:32It's safe to say, Prince and Martin, that this season 100 is not all about just inspiring legacies, but it is also where new legacies are being made.
04:41Back to you, Prince and Martin.
04:43Thank you so much, Mikaela. Two rookies that are really showing out here in the NCAA Seniors Division.
04:51Ancheta, of course, is a transferee from CEU.
04:55And Mark Goho Cruz was a part of a Junior Altus team that went to the finals.
05:01Just a few months ago, he was an opponent of the Letran Squires.
05:05And speaking of Goho Cruz, here he is leading the break, Sean Orgo, on the finish.
05:10What a beautiful setup job by MGC.
05:14Martin, what Mikaela said earlier about the rookies trying to create a name for themselves.
05:20And of course, we know that Coach Olsen has become a great guardian in professional basketball.
05:26And that's a sign that this is a great chance.
05:30An opportunity for Mark to pick the framing codes.
05:34And of course, he can get as much information as possible that he needs
05:38so that he can apply and at the same time, be a rookie to play like a veteran.
05:43That's right.
05:44Meantime, we are tied here in the first frame, six apiece.
05:48Let's go first to this timeout.
05:50Don't be afraid to receive the ball and let's work on the gift.
05:54That's first from the team of the Aureliano Chiefs, Martin and Mark.
05:58Thank you very much, Laisel Galpo.
06:01That's it.
06:02Just like our second quarter.
06:05So let's see.
06:06The Aureliano should attack here.
06:08Pastival Lensha.
06:10What a fadeaway.
06:13Going downhill.
06:15What a fadeaway.
06:18Going downhill.
06:19That one rolls out.
06:21Aureliano has a chance.
06:22Three-inch closer.
06:24Valencia with a spin.
06:26Yes!
06:28And the Chiefs are with it.
06:31Second time, Mark Gojo Cruz leading the break here.
06:34How about the no-look pass to Sean Orgo?
06:37This is the first of two straight finishes in transition for Sean Orgo.
06:43That's why Perpetual was a bit ahead earlier,
06:46but Pactore Play was able to make up for it earlier.
06:49Let me just mention that one of the downsides of a team
06:52that likes to get rebounds is the transition defense.
06:55And we know that Perpetual, one of their strengths,
06:59is running down the lane.
07:00Which we saw here in the fourth quarter,
07:04the fast break that they're trying,
07:05they're really, really trying their best
07:07not to get the ball inside the ring.
07:09That's right.
07:10They're trying to up the pace here in the first quarter.
07:13And so far, it's been successful,
07:15but it's also creating opportunities for Benilde on the other side.
07:19Gab Cometa coming in for the first time for the Benilde Blazers.
07:25Still no signs of Justin Sanchez and Jomen Anchieta
07:29for Benilde.
07:30Later, Coach Charles will send them in.
07:33This is JP Burral now in the contest.
07:37Marco Cruz gets it to him right away.
07:40Oh, Burral, just a little too wild on the attempt.
07:45Here's Tony Inod.
07:48Inod sends it out, Cometa.
07:51Diwag will post up.
07:54Diwag doubled.
07:56Cometa releases.
07:59Off the bank, it's off.
08:00Rebound, ending up with Inod, and he puts it back in.
08:03Second putback today for Tony Inod.
08:06Especially if you can get an offensive rebound
08:09and you can shoot the putback.
08:11That's one of the things that brings energy to a team.
08:15So far, Benilde out-hustling Perpetual on the glass.
08:20Bojo Cruz, contested shot.
08:23Comes up short.
08:25That's good defense by Cometa.
08:28Here's Tony Inod.
08:30Inod, spray to Torres.
08:33Missed fires from the corner.
08:36That's a good play ran by Benilde.
08:39Let's check this one out.
08:41Inod steals it from Marco Cruz to place it back in.
08:46And Martin, here's Tony Inod.
08:49He already has four rebounds in the first quarter.
08:52And he still has 4 minutes and 40 seconds left.
08:55Imagine what he can still do throughout the game.
08:57That's right.
08:58This is some early activity on the glass for Tony.
09:02That was passed though.
09:04I think Repdog is a bit in the way of that pass.
09:07That's a far left.
09:09And our referee is running there as well.
09:12Mark Sanko comes in for the first time along with Justin Sanchez.
09:17And here comes Jomel Mancheta.
09:19Solid in his first three games in the NCAA.
09:23In one of those, he was the best player of the game.
09:27This is the type of guard that,
09:30when he defends, he's really suffocating defense.
09:33And that's his strength.
09:35Here's JP Vural.
09:37Sanchez again.
09:38That's a good matchup at the forward spot.
09:41Benilde steals it.
09:44Gabi Cometa.
09:45Full handle.
09:47Sanchez will choose to attack.
09:49Downhill.
09:50Short pass to Liwag.
09:52Who doesn't get the bounce?
09:54Who doesn't get the bounce?
09:56Orgo gets it.
09:59Perpetual looking for the equalizer.
10:04Nunez.
10:06Nunez.
10:07Faces up.
10:10Sean Orgo.
10:11Discarded is also thinking about it.
10:13Uy! Traveling.
10:14That's what Avis calls it.
10:17I'll just mention how patient Perpetual is.
10:20But I think he was in a bit of a hurry with the jump step.
10:24The first step for John Avis.
10:27We have another timeout for Coach Charles Chu.
10:293 and 45 to go.
10:31Here in our first quarter.
10:36What's that?
10:37Right off the jump ball.
10:41King Gortiza off the screen.
10:43Ali knocks it down.
10:45Wasting no time to make his presence felt.
10:49As expected for King Gortiza.
10:54Pull up jumper is out.
10:55Here comes Harvey Pagsanhan.
10:57What a pass.
10:58Gortiza on the touchdown.
11:00AAC is starting off strong.
11:05I was surprised when he said,
11:06Niko Quinal was able to improve a lot
11:08when it comes to three point shooting.
11:11Here he is.
11:12Ochavo.
11:14Gortiza.
11:15A more open look.
11:16Thank you everyone for joining us

11:45He's behind him.
11:48Let's show him.

12:02Thank you for joining us.
12:03Gentlemen,
12:048 to 6 here in the first quarter.
12:06We can still see Anil Diwag,
12:08our very first power player of the week
12:12here in Season 100.
12:14First three games for Diwag averaging
12:1614 points and close to 16 rebounds
12:21as a member of the Veneo Blazers.
12:24And if you look at Martin,
12:26they're looking for him repeatedly on offense
12:29to try and get his rhythm as early as this first quarter.
12:33But he's very patient.
12:35He's still looking for his teammates
12:37to get those open shots
12:38because he's really getting the defense he's attracted to.
12:41Yeah, he's like a
12:43a vortex here.
12:46Oh, that's a good move down the middle
12:48for Jome Lancheta.
12:50Previously,
12:51this is Nunez
12:53who was able to bounce Diwag.
12:55Can't wait.
12:58Nunez.
13:01Boral.
13:03Calzano.
13:05Sends it to the corner.
13:07Orgo with 5 to work with.
13:10Montemayor from way out.
13:13Calzano.
13:14There's no putback.
13:17But there's the offensive rebound, right Prince?
