00:00This is our post-game press conference. The last game of the day, we have the USC Grounding Tigers defeating the Adams-Lazorin Falcons 75-49.
00:07And after five years, USC is going back in the men's basketball final tournament.
00:12This is the cheer from the winning coach, Coach Piduarejo.
00:15Coach, congratulations.
00:17Here it is.
00:19So, your thoughts.
00:21Here it is.
00:23Anyway, good evening to all of you.
00:27First of all, the game itself.
00:30The first quarter, we didn't struggle.
00:35So, Adamson had a good start.
00:39Then, we recovered.
00:41Then, in the third and fourth quarter, we actually got three points in the last two seconds, three seconds.
00:48We're up by four. That's the game.
00:50Up by one.
00:52And then, that's it.
00:54The difference is in the second half.
00:56We became aggressive.
00:58Then, we're making our shots.
01:00Portskey and K.P. dictating the game.
01:03And then, Nick struggled in the first half.
01:07He recovered.
01:09And then, of course, they said there were some magic points.
01:13Think about it.
01:15Acedo scored four or five three-point shots.
01:20Which makes a big difference.
01:24That's why we won.
01:28I'll go straight ahead.
01:30This win is for the USD management.
01:35They're spending money.
01:37Then, they're recruiting players, coaches.
01:40I give it to them.
01:43We entered the Final Four after five years.
01:46This is for our co-director, Richard Ahmed.
01:51And then, our Ipea, Father Rudel, Sancho.
01:59And then, all of us in the USD.
02:01Then, the faculty members who are helping us.
02:05The community itself.
02:08This is for them.
02:11And then, for our supporters.
02:17Good job to the coaches.
02:20Coach Juno, Coach Peter, Coach Yaleng, Coach Jeff, Coach Jeric, Coach CJ, Coach Bang.
02:28I have to mention Coach Jeric.
02:31All of them.
02:32Then, our utility boys.
02:35That's why I'm saying this.
02:37It's a total team effort.
02:40We're here together to help.
02:43I want to thank all of the players for their sacrifice.
02:49And then, of course, for the kids.
02:53They're just playing for the USD.
02:57They're not thinking about anything else.
03:00Then, our sponsors.
03:02Of course, our number one co-coach who helps us and gives guidance,
03:10Boss Al Francis Chua, is so supportive of us.
03:15Thank you, Boss.
03:16Then, they're here.
03:18Tony Divina, FMR, those who support us.
03:22All of them.
03:27This is for you.
03:29Okay.
03:30I said my piece.
03:32Those kids.
03:35If you'll ask me,
03:37I answered everything I said from the start.
03:41Those kids.
03:43They deserve this win because it's their first time.
03:47The only veteran winner here is Korsky.
03:50He made it to the finals.
03:52And then, his experience.
03:54The best experience that Korsky has.
03:56Which is related to Nick and Amiel.
03:59To the players here in the USD.
04:02I'm so thankful that Korsky is here with us.
04:06Okay?
04:07Are you guys crying?
04:09Okay.
04:11I don't think I can read that.
04:13I love you all.
04:15I love you all.
04:26I love you all.
