masscomm vs. psych(basketball tournament

I can still remember how i cheer for the Ateneo Blue Eagles during the UAAP season 71 finals.I also remember how i jupmed for joy during the final game of Ateneo vs. La Salle when Ateneo were declared as the UAAP season champion. During those days I cheer for a different school and a different varsity team.

Those days are gone now now that the season ended, all those cheering paid off. Now is the time to cheer for my own team(the MCO team). I really love basketball not because of the players(like what they always say) but also for the excitement it brings to me.

Now back to the topic. Early this morning I doubt that I could make it to school just in time for the game but when i arrive at school it turns out that was very early and that MCO game will be the 2nd game of the.

I had a lot of time before teh game starts so i go out of the campus first to rent a computer for some movie watching. After renting I got back to the campus and it turns out that the game was not over yet so I had no chance but to watch it.

The first game was between the Legma(legal management)team and the Psych(Psychology A)team. I could give a little review of this game cause only watch from almost 3rd quarter. I notice that the team scorer or pointer for the Psych team was Kyoumarsi(hope i got the name right) who was in jersy no 9 for he did not leave the court to rest not even once. And for the Legma team it was De Castro who was wearing an Ateneo jersy no 7. The crowds favorite was Antonio wearing jersy no 9 for the psych and Dave for the legma team who was in jersy 7. After a close fight psych team won with the score of 86-75 they were always in the lead.

After the 1st game was the MCO vs psych B game. But before I give the story let me first give you the line up of players:

MCO(some additional players might not be mentioned)

09 De Castro

08 Gracia

13 Camarillas

04 Barbosa

11 Rodrigues

10 De mesa

00 Rivera

03 Buenaventura

01 Josef

24 El- Tayech

17 Hilario

Psych B team(the names might not be correct)

01 Schizoidz 01

05 Schizoidz 02

08 catatonic

23 Joshy

10 Sadist

88 paranoid

31 Julian

12 Exibitionist

18

The starting five for the MCO team(who was in Orange jersy) were Barbosa, Buenaventura, Demesa, Rodrigues, and Camarillas for the Psych B team(who wears a light blue jersy) were joshy, Exibititionist,sadist, Schizoids 2 and paranoid. During the 1st quarter Buenaventura tries to score so whenever he gets the ball he does not hasitate to shoot it(eventhough he fails a couple of time). The reall scorer for the MCO team was Demesa while for the Psych team it was Joshy. MCO comited alot of penalty that gives the Psych team alot of free throws. The 1st quarter ended with MCO on the lead with a score of 16-12. During the 2nd quarter MCO takes a hold on their lead and Demesa continues to score for the team and Joshy for the Psych B team. Since Demesa was invoking a fight(well atleast I think he was) by doing the "you cant see me" hand the referee had to bench him. The MCO team was really noisy when they cheer for the team the referee eventualy has to stop them. The 2nd quarter ended up with the score of 35-30. During the 3rd qurter i notice(since i was seating near each team) that the coach of the Psych team A(who was in game 1) also became the suporting coach of the Psych team B. I can hear them shouting to put their hands up so that they would not be called any foul or to provoke a fight. The coach and the others were shouting "taas lang kamay para hindi makasuntok o mafoul" and the players followed their coach and when i looked inside the court i saw all the players with their hand raised up. During the 3rd quarter joshy was replaced giving their team a hard chance to score and the MCO takes that as an advantage. MCO let DeCastro who brought a lot of scores for his team. The quarter almost ended up with a tie but of course the MCO team did not let that happen they ended the quarter with the score of 56-57. In the 4th quarter Joshy was back for the psych team but even with joshy back MCO was still in the lead and ended the game with a win with the score of 77-70. After the game teams shook hands to show sportsmanship.

During the game Joshy was the favorite freethrower of the Psych team and did not disappoint his team mates. He was the highest scorer for their team. After the our game there was another game but I had to leave early so I didnt watch it.

I want to give a little insight about the game. in that game there were no electronic score board not any shot clock. All was counted manualy. I got a little anoyed for the fact that the one who was handling the score board were not really paying attention to the game(well dont get me wrong thats what i notice). I have a scoring board of my own just to be updated and mine was like 3 times better than their score. The coach of the other team( Psych B) was reminding them to be alert so that no one will invoke any fight cause some of the members where hot headed. Well thats what i noticed.

...the next thing im going to write is about the CAS week....and sorry for the pics...my camera was not working well that time...=]piz you all...
