ADMU vs DLSU (Round 2)

Sometimes I still wonder why people do all sorts of wild things just to get hold of that DLSU-ADMU ticket. I heard that Ateneo supporters were already lining up along the Blue Eagle gym as early as 2am to get hold of the limited upper A and B tickets being sold there. When I asked what time they start to sell the tickets, i was told... 6pm! Wow!! Last year, I remember seeing people setting up tents to spend the night there just to be the first ones in line. I also heard that scalpers were already selling tickets as early as Monday at a price range of 5,000 to 10,000 for patron seats. Deep inside I was thinking, no wonder we players can't get any tickets! I didn't get my 4 ticket allocation (2 patron and 2 upper A which i had to pay for) not until 6pm of Friday, the night before the game. When I requested for more, I was told that they had 5 upper B tickets for me. Fine, I'll take those. It's a common misconception that if you're part of the team, you have more access to tickets. In fact, our coaches only get 2 Upper A tickets. I already have a generic reply to all of those people who all of a sudden text me for tickets when an ADMU-DLSU is fast approaching... "best effort!" I even ALMOST resorted to buying scalper tickets at the last minute because I was already desperate. Somebody is just such a lifesaver! Let's just call her my secret weapon :)

Now, about the game, I had to admit that I did feel nervous before the game. I don't know why. It's no bearing for us. It's my 14th Ateneo La Salle game in my UAAP career, the 7th since last year (I just found out after watching the replay). I guess it's just the fact that it's an Ateneo La Salle game and that there are approximately 23,000 people watching in Araneta and much more in their TV screens here in the Philippines and all over the world. There's just so much hype! Almost everyone I know stops to watch (since my friends are mostly from either of the two schools). It gave me goosebumps when the Ateneo crowd was cheering upon stepping out on the court. But after I was able to warm up, i felt settled and ready to go!


I won't go to the details of the game. But overall, it wasn't our offense that won us the game, but our defense! We held them below 60 points. Many would argue that it's because JV Casio was so out of sync. But he wouldn't be struggling that much if it wasn't for the defense that Jai and Yuri put up on him plus the help defense provided by the big men underneath. Basically, I felt that JV had to carry the weight of the world upon his shoulders and that he tried to take it upon himself today. Unfortunately, he got very little help from his teammates except for Rico. I say the 'weight of the world' because not only does he have to lift his team past the 16 players of Ateneo but also the rest of the de La Salle community. It is difficult to lose and play horribly when much is expected of you, especially if you're playing for ADMU or DLSU - two communities that can comprehend the game of basketball well, plus both are very passionate but can be critical as well. But I believe that everyone is entitled to having an "off night" and i'm sure he will bounce back! So beware FEU. I don't want to say more because there's still a possibility that we might play each other in the Finals. Let's just save the analysis until after the championship :) If not, then this will be my last Ateneo La Salle game :(

For now, it's still a long journey for us! I'm so thankful for the victory and I believe that this is the best way to show our appreciation to all the Blue supporters who were present today, most especially those who had to queue for hours and those who had to cash out a huge amount on tickets. No such thing as a 'no bearing game' against La Salle. I just ask ask and pray that we continue to improve, stay injury-free and keep our focus coming down the stretch, especially since 'hell weeks' and exam weeks are coming up right smack during the Final 4 and championship series, IF we make it! That's actually the disadvantage of having a two-semester system. But like they say, adversity makes champions! One big fight!Oh and if you have the chance, please go and support our Blue Babble in the UAAP Cheerleading Competition today at Araneta Coliseum starting 2pm! Audience impact weighs a lot in the criteria for judging.

Chris

P.S. I'd like to apologize for not being able to entertain the fans outside the South Gate after the game as I was prevented by Araneta Security to do so, as a result, I had to take an alternate way out. Next time! :)

Congratulations, Chris! La Salle didn't even get the chance to the take lead nor tie the game, right? Awesome defense! If the the team can keep this kind of game up, you'll definitely make it to the finals!

We asked our drivers to fall in line at the BEG as early as 2AM and we got upper A tickets. Yes, it may be a wild thing to actually think of that--much more do that, but I think overall, we'd like to see it as sheer dedication. Because after all those ticket hullabaloo, I think the main aim of every fan is to be there with you guys as ONE. And I'm sure the players use that as inspiration for the games :)

Goodluck in the upcoming games. We'll be there :)

And by the way, thank you for the victory against La Salle. You've proved your maturity as a team and how you learned so much from last season. Indeed, there is no such thing as a no-bearing game. I bet you made the fans who bought dozens of scalped tickets worth it! Hahaha

Congrats chris! 3 wins to go!! \m/
and! they wrote a feature about you on Saturday's Inquirer.

Interesting stuff, I must say.

Wow, did you not sleep at all? :-D Early post!

Yes indeed, the hunt to find tickets was insane. And slightly stressful. My secret weapon came through too. At 11am! Better late than never.

Great game, guys!! Yours is a respected (and feared!) Blue Eagle team. Didnt see a hint of the DLSU swagger and on court antics today. It was obvious from the first basket you guys came out to win. Things got sloppy for a little bit, but the maturity and composure kicked in and things got back on track. It was great seeing everyone on the floor contribute in their own way. THAT is what champion teams are made of.

Now, take that killer instinct all the way to the Finals. OBF!!!

chris said...

I always wake up in the middle of the night after a game and find it hard to go back to sleep so i decided to write an entry. Yes, Sir Aly. Your picture deserves to be there after I use all your pictures for my entries :) Actually, I should have one of Tito Philip Sison too.

congratulations ATENEO!
congratlations Chris! :)
ONE BIG FIGHT!!

at first, i was really depressed when i found out that i was invited to attend the Marian Youth Camp(for 2nd & 3rd year high school students)at the Ateneo, the same day as the ateneo-la salle game. i was crying so hard when i received the letter about the camp (especially when i read that it would be from 8am to 8pm) and so my mom talked to me. she said that it's a great honor to be invited to the MY Camp and it would 100% deepen my relationship with Mary. it may corny but IT DID! :) and i'm really happy for that. hehe

anyway, confession was also offered that day to those who want to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. while waiting for my turn to confess, i prayed hard to Mother Mary that all of you guys will be strong, injure-free, and very well-prepared for the big game. i also prayed that the game would be fair and and nothing chaotic will happen in that 2-hour game. hehe :) we also prayed the rosary and had a mass afterwards (at around 7pm). i was really thankful to God & to Mother Mary when Fr.Jojo Monis, the priest, announced that Ateneo won the game ;)

congratulations once again!
God bless!
see you in the championships!

Hello Chris, just want to congratulate you and the rest of the team for the victory against DLSU yesterday.

Oh what does AMDG means?? and by the way, did you really take an alternate way out?? We thought you were fetched inside because we saw your car going inside the South Gate. That's why we already knew that you wouldn't be able to entertain the fans waiting outside. Some were really upset but anyway we understand the situation naman. Good luck on the SEmifinal games. One Big Fight!!!

Chris!!!

I was able to finally watch a game live after two years of not watching live since I promised myself to watch one ADMU game before I leave for my JTA. I just hate it that it is so hard to get tickets! I actually spent PhP PhP 800 just to get to Upper A (PhP 500 for an Upper B ticket + PhP 300 suhol to the usher to let me in! Sayang, my friend said he gave PhP 50 suhol to the usher and let him in. Sana I gave a lower amount. But it is ok because we won!)

I guess you guys were pumped up during the game to see that Ateneans occupied more than half of the coliseum! Btw, I really hate it that Atkins gave this "Mas-magaling-ako-sayo" attitude to you during the game. It seems like he wants to intimidate you. But hello?!? You are Chris Tiu and he is just Simon Atkins!! Hahahahahaha!

Im still watching your game thru abscbn.now, 4th quarter. You guys played well! So now, if you could just play good defense, as you did against DLSU, you'd be the champion for sure! And you're right about JV. I was reading about it in PEX and yeah, it's not just about him having an "off-night", your team's defense sealed the game and should be credited too.


You remind us that this is going to be your last UAAP season. Huhuhu... I wont be able to see you play live anymore! Unless, you'll join PBL or PBA. It sucks not being there watching UAAP live! The last time I watch UAAP live was 2005, before I left the country.

Anyhoodies, congratz with the win! You deserve it!

mayenne said...

Congratulation Chris!! I am ecstatically happy that you won against La Salle. I really want you guys to win the championship. So you better keep it up. Stay focus and have faith that you'll win against all of them.:)

But I feel bad that I wasn't able to watch it from the start. I was anticipating the game. But thank GOD I was able to arrive home when it was half-time break. My mom told me that you really did play great and you are a good passer. She watched it for me. Haha:)) But she said there were too many turnovers. I hope you'll improve it. You might lose because of that.

But the way, thank GOD I'm an avid reader of your blog. I was able to know what time is the cheer dance competition. Thank you!! This time I'd be supporting my own team. Hehe:)

Anyway, Congratulations again!! I hope and pray that you'll win.c:

Take Care and God bless Captain!!:D

hi there!
congrats for the win though i'm from the other side :) i watched it live yesterday you guys beat us again but its ok, its a good game anyway... it means a lot for both team i know, most for us but probably its not our game its shocking to see jv play that way maybe your right that everyone is entitled for that so called “off night” :(
i am with my friend yesterday but he’s from your side so we got separate seats :)
the game is so exhilarating with such a huge crowd :) that really defines that admu-la sale game is a must to be watched by everyone :)
im happy for you, for your team really, and good to see nonoy shoot from 3 point line :)
congrats again! It’s still a long journey for everyone, for every team...sorry for so long comment
good luck & god bless to us :)

I was so happy you guys won!! Galing ng shots throughout the game! I was so impressed when Nonoy shot a 3-pointer. Natulala ako for a while. Imagine at 6'5", kaya pala niya tumira ng 3 points! Galing!!

I was so glad we were able to get FREE tickets from the Adidas fansigning last Sunday. Buti na lang pala pumunta kami. HAHA. Kahit GA lang, sobrang sulit naman!

Good luck on your next game! I hope the next game won't coincide with my work schedule para makanuod ulit ako. :)

Meg

P.S. Chris, I have a question. When you guys were singing the school hymn, I didn't see Jai. Was he hurt? I didn't see him leave the court either or maybe because we were at the GA section kaya hindi masyadong kita. I hope he's all right. I was kinda worried dahil dun sa "dive" niya nung 4th quarter.

Helene said...

Hi mr tiu,

it was not an off day for JV, he was just so alone during the game and he was the center of your defense which of course was expected.

Now, La salle has to come out strong this thursday and hopefully they'd be able to bounce back.I wish to watch another Ateneo-La Salle championship...

Just continue playing good or even much better defense...La Salle always come out strong during the finals...so BEWARE too.They have a different finals hype...as it was already proven last year.But for the final four, win all your games first...UE might also be a surprise this final four.

One big Fight!

Anonymous said...

Congrats! You made our lining up in the wee hours of the morning definitely worth it! My friends and I were dumbfounded that DLSU couldn't lead in any of the quarters and that their side of the dome was relatively smaller than ateneo's. We were even shocked that Gen Ad was full! I guess this is the fruits of the team's hard work. Expect to always have the support of the school in every game. We're definitely ready to add another stripe! =P

john mark said...

Congrats for another job well done Kuya Chris.(Hmm.,I'll gotta have a long comment for you.,hope you will read it all.,I'm like an aspiring sports analyst.,hehe.)

First, winning against La Salle with the score of 65-57 is very nice. Even I'm not an Atenean, I feel that I am 'coz I really support the Blue Eagles.

You scored nine points, if I'm not mistaken, including those seven early points that gave a boost to the team!

You were heavily guarded by Atkins and Barua, and they really stick to you throughout the match.

And two of your moves became he Nike Hyperplay of the Quarter, in the 1st and 4th, while the other one was the 1st QT Accenture Play.

Now that you finished in a 13-1 record, you will face UE in the semis and I know that you can make it in the Finals (hopefully with La Salle, that would be exciting, but FEU is a tough team).

Before I forget, that dish to Mike Baldos was spectacular. I thought you will have the last shot of the 2nd QT but you gave it to him and he scored. (that's what i also like with you, your unselfishness)

Good luck to the team and also to your career in basketball, school, and in television.

That's all

I thought you are just excited because you won yesterday! Haha.. Grabe I can't imagine from 2am to 6pm?! Will you do something like that for a ticket? Well maybe that's why I won't be able to watch the cheerfance competition today, coz I'm not that hardworking. Well there's always a way to watch it.. Through television. (: but the only one who'll hear my support is our maid. BTW who's your secret weapon?? And what model is your phone?

let me congratulate you and the rest of the team for winning against DLSU yesterday! :) one heck of a game! :) screamed myself hoarse(that was first quarter pa lang,mind you!) and got purple and BLUE bruises on my knee due to jumping up and down and hitting them on the(drumroll please!) Upper A seat in front of me hahahaha but hey! it was well worth it!they're my battle scars hahaha :)

Good luck on your game against UE(hoping to get lower box seats, but hey! upper A tickets are not so bad either :)) and well, I know there would be a lot of fans both from ADMU and DLSU (and scalpers too!) wishing for a finals between the 2 schools, but for the sake of not going through hell just to score tickets, sana ADMU-FEU na lang sa finals ;p but regardless who ADMU meets sa Finals, I know that college bball fans will surely enjoy!

OBF! again, good luck sa games and sa exams :)

cherrytiu said...

congratulations chris! another win for ateneo, it's getting nearer and nearer to the final four.. i saw your game and we must all admit that you did a very GOOD DEFENSE out there, rabeh and nonoy were very well in synch in the defense while yuri and jai really did stopped jayvee from penetrating a good play.. so, what can i say? ateneo is always ateneo and you're very lucky to be on the team.. =)

regarding the tickets, you should not be surprised at all, it's been like the for years and what's really sad is that scalpers are taking advantage of this kind of situation. yes, an admu-dlsu game is always a "must see" game but what the hell? spending thousands of money for a single ticket? ridiculous i must say.

Congratulations! :) GREAT GAME! Getting tickets sure was hard! We only got upper B tickets so we had to go to Araneta at 11:45 to get seats at the first row. Haha! No pain, no gain.

Chris, thank you so much for the tickets, I kinda feel guilty after reading your entry about your own ticket troubles, and I do know how hard it can be even though you're part of the team already. But I feel super duper touched since those tickets were unexpected.:) Akala ko talaga when you texted me that morning na I would have to resort to scalpers, but no! Have I thanked you enough? Haha I don't think so, so thank you thank you thank you!:))

After a VERY long wait to face the Archers once again, the Blue Eagles proved to be worthy for the Twice-to-beat advantage!

For the whole day, last sept. 6, I was busy with our exams in Financial Accounting 1. I was really happy to know that the Blue Eagles won(even though I wasn't able to watch the 1st Half of the game). The performance of the whole team was AWESOME! I should say his, I was expecting a close fight game. I guess La Salle wasn't expecting a much improved Blue Eagles Team.

I'll continue to pray for you and the whole team! :)

just one request, chris. can u ask one of ur heads to remind both the babble and admu supporters they THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHEER OR CHANT DURING TIME OUT? i dunno if theyve forgotten or are just too stubborn to follow this simple rule. i know tis just to show their love and support for the school but it does distract the players and coaches. ;)

aww.. The BBB didn't win any place today... But for me I think AdU pep & blue babble's performances are better than FEU's & salinggawi's, I wonder why they're in 3rd & 2nd place?! Anyway champion naman ang eagles in basketball. Yey! btw y did u changed ur blog's name??

Hi Regis!

I found it funny that you wished Chris well with "break a leg on your upcoming games". I know, you have good intentions in wishing Chris well. But, OMG! Wag naman sana literal na ma-break ang leg ni Chris! An injured Eagle is not what we want right now! Haha! :p

First of all, Congratulations Chris and to your team for being no. 1! Yey! =). We also had a hard time getting tickets. My sister bought our tickets as early as tuesday, umabsent siya sa clinic para sa tickets pero worth it naman e =). Also it was our first time to watch an ateneo-la salle game :D. When my friend and I saw the crowd, wow nakakagulat, we felt that we were at a different dimension x]. Our seats was at upper A. The funny thing is my sister said that we'll be seating sa side ng ateneo para icheer kayo so i decided to wear blue. unfortunately napunta kami sa la salle side! Hahaha! But it's okay 4 naman kming nakablue and nanalo kayo kaya ok lang!:D kahit pinagtitinginan na kami ng masama ng mga la sallista x]. Goodluck for the next game :D. Godbless and Take Care always Chris :D

its is really hard for us to get tickets whether from ateneo or araneta, sobrang haba ng pila!!! i asked my aunt to dropped by araneta last monday(she goes to work around 6am ksi) but she told me mhaba na ang pila...9am ung opening ng booth..hehehe but i had 4 tickets given to me when i bought adidas apparel at trinoma.. hehehe last sunday(i prayed for it and meant na mkanuod ako ng game hehehe)aside from that ngpareserve din ako sa source q ng upper a.. sadly, di ko nkuha ksi nasa work pa ko nung sat and kailangn makuha ung ticket ng 1!!from makati pa ko.. hehehe

niwei, bout the game.. wow talaga!!! ad majorem dei gloriam!!!!it was for u guys talaga with HIS guidance... we'll pray that He and mama mary will keep us safe always just bring back the glory to them right after(win or lose) always... "ask and you shall recieve..."

just hope sa championship hindi mahirap kumuha ng ticket..heheh i promised myself ill watch the remaining games of admu..mixed emotions..

God bless, TIU...heheheh

Hi Chris, I was in Araneta yesterday for your game against DLSU and today for the cheerdance competition. I was actually quite disappointed because Ateneo's crowd today is very small compared to the large basketball supporters that were present yesterday. Of all the schools, it's Ateneo's crowd that is apparently the smallest. The cheerleaders also reserved the area, even having to ask the people for a password before they enter, only to be reprimanded by the Araneta security for denying other ticket holders, who were standing, of seats.

My friend, who comes to watch and cheer for almost all Ateneo games live is from the AGSB Rockwell campus and was denied entry to the Ateneo area because the cheerleader did not know what AGSB is. She really felt bad that she had to be seated at the NU side and that she was not able to cheer with the pack just because she's in the business school already and not in the Loyola campus (Let's not talk about age here, it's another story and she might kill me. :D). Nagtampo tuloy, ayaw na mag-cheer sa next games. Haha!

I hope that in the next years, Ateneans could also support the BBB, who cheer their hearts out for you, as much as they support you guys.

Congratulations on the win against DLSU!

i forgot to asked you a question... my sister asked me this yesterday right after the game while waiting at the valet " naririnig ba nila chris ung sigawan ng mga tao kapag pumapasok sila sa court?? o habang nglalaro sila???kasi tayo nung nglalaro pa tayo.. di n natin naririnig minsan??? e paano sila??"

chris, one serious question and i wish you'd answer this..
do you get ECSTATIC whenever you see the la salle community cry or feel disappointed? do you jump and shout for joy whenever you prove yourselves to be better than the taft based squad? don't you think that the reason why the dlsu-ateneo rivalry never subsides is because the players themselves add fire to the already existing flame? i really hope you answer this.thanks..congrats also! one big fight! go ateneo! see you in school.

Anonymous said...

You guys really pushed the Archers against the wall. ang galing ng defense, gRABEH! (haha). I've never seen such tight and flawless defense even at the start of the game.(not just in this game but all throughout the season) You came out so strong..nakakayanig! haha. My dad and I were probably part of those silly people who'd line up for hours and call up people just to get tickets but its always a pleasure to be there and be the sixth man.

P.S. : I agree with michiko, Nonoy's triple was definitely something to remember! i love that "boy" hahaha. (can you give him a pat at the back for me, haha)

Come on, finish this game so we can all go back to Gesu to celebrate!!!

can i just ask, i was just wondering why did the referees called a foul on austria in the 4th qtr? that was on jv casio i think? i'm really puzzled.. i wasn't able to see the foul and wasn't able to catch the replay on tv.. :) thanks..

Anonymous said...

yeah.. thanks to super good friends.. life saver! a friend of mine also gave me two upper b tickets friday afternoon.. i repeat "gave".. haha.. i also heard that gen ad tickets were sold at 300 pesos..

P-chy (crazypeach) said...

Getting tickets for this particular day is like a matter of life and death already. I do hope somebody regulates the ticket selling more effectively next time. How to stop the scalpers? That's a hard thing to do so far. Sheesh. It's unfair that they get those tickets which are supposed to be for students or alumni only. Huhu! When I was a student, I had problems getting tickets already for this game (we were always squeezed in the sports complex like tuna)...and now I'm an alumnus already...the harder it gets! Huhu!

Also, just wanna say how nice of you to say nice comments about JVee (proves that rivalry is only on the court). I'm sure he'll love to read the things you said about him.

Hey Chris!!
Congrats!
My workshop was from 7-5 and I wouldn't dare miss an Ateneo-Lasalle game so I had to leave early to watch the game. I was having second thoughts cause the workshop that we were having was mucho important (casting our roles, yeah :P haha) but good thing I went anyway :D

My cousins and I were waiting for you to come out the South Gate but we were only given a few minutes by our dads to be there so only got pictures with the players who were out na :(
Oh well, maybe next time :D haha.

ONE BIG FIGHT!!!!

Good luck on Sunday!!!

I forgot to comment about Yuri. I think he's really a nice fellow too. I was watching the game on abscbn.now, and when I saw JV fell, Yuri helped him got up back to his feet. I seldom see that kind of gesture, I mean, not from your team but from other teams as well.

..sinasabi ko iyon as a basketball fan, baka kasi sabihin ng iba hindi ko madadama ung intensity because i do not belong with the both community..

..but i had the highest salute to BLUE EAGLES.. academic speaking as well as sports..

..i'm a fan of yours..

..but i just don't like the game..

..it's not intense..

first of all, i want to say congratulations for the win. i may be from the other school but i must admit, your defense really brought us down. good job for that :)

i agree with what you said about jv. i felt really bad for him. we were really expecting him to lead us to victory :( but then, maybe that's what caused him to have an "off" game. he felt so much pressure from his team and especially from the whole lasallian community. :(

but again, like what you said, someone as awesome as JV Casio can bounce back in one snap :)

anyway, good luck with your remaining games and i'm still hoping for an Ateneo-La Salle finals :D

Actually, there were already people in Araneta as early as Sunday Night (around 8pm) and they were already falling in line at the red gate.

They were housemates of the alumni and students of the two schools and were eager to stay overnight just to get tickets for the game. And Araneta won't start selling tickets until 9 am, so they were there for more than 12 hours! I couldn't really believe my eyes when I saw them at the Araneta gate when I passed by that night.

I went there by 5am and there were already hundreds of people waiting for the tickets. By 8am, it was more than 500! It's sad though that most of them are scalpers. As far as I and my Atenean friends saw, only 20% of us are legitimate students, and maybe 10% are those housemates that I mentioned above. The rest are scalpers.

One scalper approached us on the line and was selling the Upper B ticket for 1,000!

Good thing my long wait was worth it, I was able to get a ticket for myself. :)

Hi Chris,

Great thing I was able to watch your game with DLSU last Saturday…
(Remember I was the one who’ll have a team building that day.)
Kaya lang, it was the last quarter then…at first I saw the DLSU fans on tv all screaming and shouting, I thought they were heading the game, I really felt nervous…a loss from la salle will be so disappointing for the team…  and when the scores prompted on tv, it was a relief… it was a sure win.. Another victory for the ADMU team.. Prayers are really that powerful… and I thank God for the wonderful and safe game…

Let’s lift up all the praises and glory to God!
I know, He’ll continue to shower you guys with all these wonderful blessings!

God bless the game and the players!
JIMLY…

More Power ADMU!

congratz for the win against lasalle.. 13-1 win loss record, i hope u make it to the championship.. Beware for UE, because they can pull some surprises, but i trust and believe that ADMu would win the semis and make it to the finals.. by the way the last time i post here, is when i put your stats about the 1st round and as i browsing the net, i was very impress in your performances during the 2nd round.. your performance during the 2nd round is a lot better than the 1st round.. here is ur stats during the 1st round

14 points/game,
6-30 3 pt area (20%),
24-46 2 pt area (52%)
32-39 FT (82%)
6.3rebs/game
3.1 asts/game
1 stl/game
1 error/game

the this your stats during the 2nd round:

14.9 points/game(104 pts overall),
15-37 3 pt area (41%),
16-34 2 pt area (47%)
27-31 FT (87%)
5.9rebs/game (41 rebs overall)
4.1 asts/game (29 asts overall)
0.4 stl/game (3 steals)
0.1 blk/game (1 block)
2.3 error/game (16 errors)

your second round performance is a lot better than the 1st round.. you 3 pt shooting percentage is on target right now and you are passing a lot but not sacrificing your offense.. even if you have the worst game this season in the second round ( vs AdU, producing only 2 pts) but you have made a lot of career high and first time this season (29pts vs UST, and 10 ast vs UP) u have the first double-double and first and only block this season on the second round..

Over all, this is your stats in the elimination round..

14.4 points/game,
21-67 3 pt area (31%),
40-80 2 pt area (50%)
59-70 FT (84%)
6.1rebs/game
3.6 asts/game
0.7 stl/game
0.1 blk/game
1.6 error/game

overall, you have one of the best averages this season.. so good luck, and hope you make it to finals.. Your averages would turn into nothing if you fail to make it to the finals (I pity Jervy Cruz for that)..

PS..
by the way another congratulation for making to the TOP 3 in the statistical pts for MVP.. #3 with statistical points of 62.14 and just behind jervy (75.07), and Rabeh (71.14).. i'm not hoping for you to win the season MVP, but i'm Praying that you'll be the FINALS MVP..
good luck and One Big Fight...

Hello Chris,

My 12 year old daughter was able to watch your game live at the Araneta last Saturday with her friends. Actually, I also wanted to watch the game live, both as an alumna of ADMU and at the same time, to be the adult companion of the 12-13 y.o. Ateneo boys and Miriam girls inside Araneta. Unfortunately, I could not get a one more ticket for the game : ( Their Upper B tickets were bought at Php1,200.00 each. I must say the price was worth every penny spent because my little girl is still on Cloud 9, not to mention the bragging rites of having been part of the cheering crowd : )

Last Saturday's game was extra-special for my daughter. She really prepared for it, clothes, accessories and all ... including BLUE nail polish which we applied just before lunch ha ha. After the game, my daughter told me that she is now a CERTIFIED UAAP FAN.
As to the exit, we saw your brother, Charles, as surveyed the crowd at the South Gate. Boy, it would have been a security nightmare for the Araneta guards as everyone was waiting to have a glimpse of you. Chris, you are so blessed to have a brother like Charles who is very supportive of your activities and endeavors. I salute your parents for having raised their children well.

Btw, your throng of fans (mga "Iglesia ni Chris Tiu") were not very pleased when the guards told everyone that you left through another exit (were you the one riding the Starex with pitch-black tint???) WE UNDERSTAND. I had to explain to my daughter that it would be very difficult for the guards to control the crowd.

Anyway, we are just so happy that the BLUE EAGLES won the game. For me, win or lose, it's the school we choose!!! We will support the BLUE EAGLES all the way to the finals. Well done, boys! CONGRATS!!!

congrats on your game last Saturday against La Salle!!i must say it was really a great game and to those who were able to watch at Araneta was worth it even the tickets were hard to get.unluckily i was not able to got a ticket for it was already sold out.i was shocked that many people are falling in line as early as 2am for the tickets,i imagined that it will be hard to get a ticket but not as hard as you described.thats why Araneta has a whooping audience of almost 23000!i must agree on what u have said regarding casio it was not his lucky night but the defense of jai and yuri adds up to his pressure.yes he must be carrying the world on his shoulders for i know that the his team was expecting alot from him.i expect a great come back from him against FEU.i must also commend you on the great defense that you have showed and also the assists that you have given(almost a steve nash game hehehe).and how can i forget the 3point shot of nonoy it was really unexpected,a HISTORY i must say!even me i was not expecting that he will throw a shot.no one is guarding him at that time so he feel free to take the shot,it was a wise move from him.rabeh and jai also did a great job,they add to the pressure of La Salle.as the fans would say "YOU CANT DEFY gRABEHty" nice quote right?!^_^your team just proved that ur ready for the final4.hope ull win against UE(am i right?)they are not easy contenders for the finals but i am positive that BLUE EAGLES will be on finals..
zai jian!

Just please take care always & may you be blessed more & more.. :D
I really hope & pray I get to see you in person asap. =')
I'd be watching Ripley's again later, I'll be seeing you.. yehey! :)
God speed & more power! =)

Hey... I just wanna congratulate you for winning against my school last saturday... haha... :)) even though i'm from la salle im still cheering for ateneo... hope you win the championship... :))haha...

chris said...

Sherwin, thanks so much for those stats. I have to say it was really useful. I was totally unaware of the breakdown of my stats between the two rounds.

Yes, Charles is my brother. And I believe that Jai Reyes will still be playing next season. He still has 1 more playing year.

Anonymous said...

really? jai is still playing next year? alright! ;)

woah! i'm amazed to see lots of comments for this entry. no wonder, it's ateneo vs. la salle!

aim for the championship, chris!

and oh! i still believe that this season's mvp will come from our school. :D

see you~

nette said...

you already had a great number of assists! i think that's the best accomplishment in a game. it really shows how a player values "teamwork" they call. in other words, "HINDI KA MADAMOT". =D keep up the good work Mr.Dreamboy! =D i wish you don't mind how i call you. haha! "dreamboy". +AMDG+

congratulations!

we tried lining up at the blue eagle gym but we didn't get a chance to buy ANY ticket!

still, thanks to the extra tickets araneta released last saturday... even if they were just upper b tickets, at least, we were able to watch the game...

:)

nette said...

hey, you're online... wla lang. goodnight.

oh, so it was true that you already left that night. sad. :( we waited for you outside. it wasnt that crowded.. but anyway, there's always a next time. take care and good luck! see you in the finals! :)

Hello Mr. Chris Tiu!
First of all, congratulations!
Ask ko lang anong ibig sabihin ng AMDG?
Thanks!

Anonymous said...

I do hope DLSU wins the Feu match. FEU scares me than La Salle coz of their great team play. You guys need to beat UE first, they will come out really strong and hopefully you guys don't give them a chance similiar to what you did on the DLSU game. Pressure Zamar if he's in the court (he is prone on turnovers, TRUST me on this!). I am confident that your Baclao, Rabeh defense will hold (just don't get in foul trouble).

In order for you guys to win, here's my analysis:

1. The ability and speed of Rabeh to spot the open man when he gets doubled team.

2. Your outside shots needs to be established at the start of the game. This is very crucial. Game may be decided on this if you don't hit those shots. UE for sure will give you looks on the outside rather than the inside where you guys are dominant (and i mean dominant).

3. DEFENSE!

4. Buenafe needs to drive and draw those fouls

psixteen said...

how come charles hasnt left for austria yet? guess he will miss you playing for the finals then, chris? ;)

some of my comtech friends from admu said jai is graduating this year, but u did mention that jai will prolly be team captain next year...so i guess the jainamite will take another course for the next AY, right?

right Chris?:)
i was very very glad you won the game! And you were definitely right, defense made you won. I feel sorry for JV too. tsk! Good thing it didn't happen to you. haha

btw, i read an article in the Phil Daily Inquirer about you. Try checking it out, Fun stuff. LOL!

me and my family, all the way across the country, wants to congratulate the whole BLUE EAGLES team (especially you of course) for a classic win! See you at the Championship game! :))

Lorraine said...

I can't help but put a comment. I so love the way the Blue Eagles CRUSHED the Green Archers last Saturday. It was the best Ateneo game! LOL :D

Btw, it's my birthday and i the team was part of my birthday wish. Hope my wishes come true(alot of wishes for you and the team). LOL :D

Anonymous said...

now that you mentioned you had difficulties getting tickets, am sure so many fans will be offering you their extra tickets. and if they do... can i have one? hehe.

good night, chris!

Anonymous said...

to all of chris' well-meaning fans: maybe we can just cheer him and the team on with the more appropriate and less ominous "One Big Fight" than "break a leg," which is really used for dancers and stage performers. we could use it for the blue babble battalion for next year's cheerdance competition though. thanks!

Unknown said...

Haha... Sir Aly, nice picture! Good catch, Chris! Congrats and Btw... Thanks! ;)

Are you really required to speak in Tagalog in Ripley's? I think it will be lot better if you'll speak in English, and the eyeglasses? They're for?? (: tc cris

I miss reading a new entry.. Please do post if you have time. I'd love to know what you've been up to these past few days.. :)
I envy those people who have the privilege of seeing you & being with you everyday.. :(
And oh, I agree with Mr. Mikels that maybe it'd be better if you could host Ripley's in english as I think you are more comfortable with the language. :D
Yeah, maybe GMA is trying to reach out to the "masa" by having most of their shows hosted in tagalog, but nowadays people from all walks of life know & speak english even though not that fluently. So I guess it's no big deal if you host in english, right? just an opinion..;]
Good luck & may God bless you always.. =)
Good night, Chris!ü

Hi Chris!

I came across this advertisement in the newspaper the other day. It's called "Yes the Filipinos Can! Awards" I wanted to let you know that I nominated you as an inspiring Filipino. You can check out the site in case you're wondering what it's all about: http://www.gonegosyo.net/

I believe you can win especially if we get a lot of people to nominate you through your blog.

I really hope you don't mind. Thanks!:)

deboz said...
