UP vs. Ateneo round 2 highlights | UAAP Season 86 Men's Basketball - Oct. 29, 2023 

UP's five-headed monster is their guard rotation. Cagulangan-Felicilda-Alarcon-Abadiano and now Fortea is back. Best collection of guards in the UAAP, and IMHO UP's most fearsome weapon. Every single one of these dudes are good enough to start for any other collegiate team at present.

The Fighting Maroon Guards are elite 👏Gerry Abadiano and Francis Lopez are also 👍Welcome back Terrence Fortea. Kudos to all UPMBT players (waiting for the others to break out in the next games, so much potential still unleashed). Manalo, matalo UP PA RIN. UP YAN. UP FIGHT✊🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Hats off kay coach gold and UP coaching staff pinapairal yung magandang system nila nila lalo't madaming superstar sa team unlike nung time nina Kobe P. kanya-kanya. Thank god di rin lumipat si Abadiano dahil may nagoffer na ibang school lumabas laro nila today. Belmonte ang hindi blue chip recruit pero grabe improvement nya sana tuloy tuloy improvement nya🥰🥰🥰

Nice of Lopez to help up Fortea after falling from that shot 👏🏻

5:13 what a shot, he had to put hella arc in it

Ateneo should really lean more on Mason Amos, who is potentially their most efficient scorer. Taking into consideration his performance in the past few games, I genuinely believe he has what it takes to become a star and lead the team in the future. However, looking at the bigger picture, it's clear that Ateneo faces an uphill battle against UP right now, mainly due to the fact that Ateneo has eight rookies on the team. Yes, you read that correctly, EIGHT rookies. In contrast, UP has several veterans who could easily start for other UAAP teams, as the other person in the comment section mentioned. That's just how well-stocked and experienced the UP team is compared to the relatively inexperienced Ateneo squad. Nonetheless, congratulations to UP for their well-deserved win. It's not surprising at all that they're the favorites to be this year's champions.

Lakas na ng UP ngayon sana mag champion ulit kayo 💪

At last .. and that’s w/o JD & CJ! UP Fight!💪

UP Fight!!!!! more wins to go🥳

See! If it's a game of runs, UP wins compared to a game of free throws. Also, twas so funny when someone expressed his worries, Brown wasn't inside the court for Ateneo. You know what I mean😂😂😂

UP - La salle to sa Finals

Sarap panuorin ni lopez

News of the day. Gold outcoached and outsmarted Tab. UP outplayed Ateneo.

Tab was hyped to be all about player development than talent. If so, why haven’t his veteran players developed- Chiu, Lazaro, Credo, Quitevis, even Koon- they’re playing at the same level as before- and so he has to depend on his “ young, rookie team” who’s now responsible for their standing?

Hindi bumitaw! Congrats UP! Finally we saw the heart of a champion team and the UP fighting spirit once again! Solid support from the UP Worldwide Community. Keep getting better and stronger in your S86 journey. Stay focused. Hanggang Sa dulo. UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES FIGHT✊🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

UP FIGHTTT!

mas exciting pa to panuurin compare sa PBA.

UP guards are more reliable than Ateneo. Ateneo guards are a bunch of scared to be the go to guy. Just look at turn overs and indecision. If this continues it will be a miracle if Ateneo can reach the final 4 which as of this juncture very unlikely.

Mgaling din tlga si coach gold en staff ng UP.. ✌️

Hahahaha nabuhay NU Nazareth Bullpups sa UP!! Congrats

Ganto talaga resulta kapag di 5 vs 8 ang laro. Congrats UP! 🤫

Grabe yung Alarcon mag laro napaka kalmado mala D.Ramos galawan.

Go go UP CONGRATS

Have the trio of Lebron, Torculas, and Belmonte played together? Would be interesting to see that uber tall lineup with any of the PGs then Diouf lol

Behind by 3 with 7 seconds left and they went to the post 😂

Congratulations 🎊 🎉..you're all good..keep it up!..

Grabe ung crowd

UP FIGHT!

1:42 🥶

Congrats UP ✊🎉🎉😊

Boom Gonzales parang mike breen HAHAHAHAHAHA iconic yung boses

that's what I'm saying Ateneo.. C U in round 2.. Congrats Marrons.. it's Payback time

UP FIGHTING MAROONS 🔥💯

Pre season: It’s the system wait till the UaAP starts. In CTB we trust. Season Start: CTB says that they have tons of rookies, UP has the best guards. Now: Ssshhh (Win or lose we have an excuse for CTB) Pass the blame to the players.

Magaling si LeBron Lopez may Pasa kayang Kaya ni Lopez buhayahin Yan

8-🤫

loaded ang up ng magagaling na guwardiya.

Di ko napanood ng live, wala si Cagulangan at Cansino?

Rebuilding is a word that describes ADMU this season. However, this word became more prevalent as of recent because of the performance the team has been producing, a 4-5 win/loss record. It is worth wondering if this word accurately depicts the team because the word becomes a convenient refuge for the tacticians behind the bench to justify the current situation. Let us examine the line-up. These players are either sophomores, juniors or veterans already: Koon, Balungay, Lazaro, Gomez, Credo, Chui and Quiteves. Those are seven players with finals and final four experiences. These could have been nine had they opted not to bump off the roster Kyles Ong and Paul Garcia. These players on one hand, are either training with the team before the pandemic already or have been in Team B for the previous years: Obasa, Espinosa, Bongo. They are not new to CTB’s system. True rookies are Tuano, Amos and Gamber. They are blue chip recruits that showcased their talents in the youth Gilas program. One of them is even a stand out in the seniors Gilas program touted to dominate the league. Side note is that they did not even line up Kobe Demisana, a 6-8 behemoth and a mythical five member of the jrs UAAP, owing to the abundance of their choices. Experience wise they have seven players who have the necessary and significant experience already and add to that three players who are not new to the system of CTB. Moreover, they have solid eight to nine months of preparation for the season which I deem sufficient already to master the system of CTB. Remember it only took two solid months of bubble preparation for a rag tag team of young players (coming from different schools and B. league) to end the Korean curse and give a Serbian team a run for their money. So chemistry shouldn’t be a problem anymore if you make the comparison. Also, when it comes to talent available ADMU is very formidable. They have arguably the best set of shooters in the tournament with Amos, Brown, Koon, Balunggay, Nieto and Gomez. Their frontline is towering with Obasa, Balunggay, Chui and Amos. They have Gamber, Nieto and Tuano to give them energy and shooting off the bench if utilized properly. They have Brown, who is blossoming to be a capable manning the PG chores. We could not make the argument that they were unable to win because of the dearth in talent. They were beaten by ADU and FEU twice, teams that have an inferior talent pool in their roster. You can even argue that NU has lesser fire power compared to Ateneo. Almost lost to UE. With all these points, we should be cautious in using the word “rebuilding” as a catch all word in dismissing the mediocre performance of the team as of late. Accountability should be demanded from those we ought to demand from.

ang sarap ulit ulitin

Let's Get Real Ateneo, You need to win all of your remaining games. That includes NU who's so consistent, and La Salle who's starting to get their form. I don't care of anything. YOU NEED TO SWEEP ALL 5 GAMES. That final sequence by Ateneo is confusing, why they go for a pick and roll for two if Quitevis is wide open for a three?

Tab read the writings on the wall but he still ignored it once again

Malaki bagay sa UP Ang depensa nila si lebron Lopez hirap sa balunggay en amos umiskor kpg si lebron nabantay sa kabila...💪

kuha na talaga ng mga teams sa UAAP pano talunin system ng ateneo noh

Amos is the possible game changer for ADMU.. pero binalik 2secs left engot lng

Pansin ko lang, yung Chiu wala pa rin improvement tsk 😢

9:10 what's Tab pointing at?

Obasa made a bad decision on that last shot, he has alot of shooters around him but well good gamee

Sobrang biased ng commentators. Labo ng One Sports.

nasan sina pablo at gagate?

Pakisago nga ng tanong ko. Bakit pinipilit si Espinosa? 😅

could have been OT if they made the last 3 pointer but did not took the shot

Yung Asst Coach ng UP mas hype pa kesa kay Coach Gold 😂😂😂

Injured ba si Cansino?

TALO! TALO! TALO! TALO! Isa pa? okay TALOOOOO!

O ano na Ateneo.. Alanganin pa pumasok sa final 4

Poor coaching by tab. Easily could have win this game if he put mason amos earlier. Grwat game tho

Ange Kouame = championship 😂

May i know the name of assistant coach from UP? Ung laging nakatayo sa loob ng court?

Bat kasi favorite si Espinosa? Parang mas okay pa kung si gomez or nieto kapalitan ni brown eh. Tas favorite den si quitevis. More playting time dapat kay amos

Ateneo lost Dave, BJ, SJ, Raffy and especially Ange. They lost a lot of PG and senior experience. No offense to Quitevis and Chiu but have veteran presence in the PG position is very crucial especially in tight match ups

Ateneo vs UST, for 7th and 8th 🤣

Amos sana last shot

Kakaiba itsura ng araneta dito ah?

Puro Filipino American ata player ng ateneo ngayon?

Commend the commentators

Ateneo you need a smarter import!

Ano pala nangyari kay Fortea bat ngayong 2nd round lang siya bumalik? Wala ako mahanap na article.

Bakit wala si Cagulangan

That was a bad play ateneo, why did they go for a 2

Import not wise not kick out for 3s possible ot

kung gusto ng taeneo na pumasok sa final 4 lahat ng natirira nilang games maipanalo nila kung hindi TAENEO talaga cla🤣

what happen to ksi ballungay??

🤫

di na naman ippost to ni HoopJunkie kasi talo ateneo 🥱

Ganyan na nga line up ng UP di pa din maka tambak ng kalaban yung sure win ba ga

Sabi ko na nga ba chamba lang yung 1st win nila last time. hahaha lols

first

haha taloneo

Polpol import ng ateneo

UP Red NPA

UP NPA maroons

Its okay to switch schools but don't disrespect the institution and community that helped and guided you through your formative years. Naki Song for Mary ka pa. Ingrata!

UP SHOULD GET RID OF DIOUF. I get it, he's 6'11 but he is so clumsy with the ball. He's a center but he barely gets any dunks or layups. He's clumsy!

Parang luminaw court ng araneta ah simula nung nag world cup
