Sam Ekwe embroiled in another issue

Posted by admin in news

If not for wrong uniforms, kicking opponents, and just plain dominating, San Beda College Nigerian center Sam Ekwe is again included in another controversy, this time connected to game fixing.

He was sent by CIDG to Camp Crame last Sunday evening for questioning. He was eventually released and not charged.

Although San Beda did not comment on the issue, a letter addressed to Ekwe was circulated supporting the Red Lions’ import center.

After two hard-fought games against the Tamaraws, Pumaren and his defending champion Green Archers are returning to the finals of the UAAP men’s basketball tournament following a tense 67-62 triumph in the Final Four of the 71st UAAP men’s basketball tournament last September 14, 2008 at the jam-packed Araneta Coliseum.

 Forward James Mangahas, one of Pumaren’s old reliables over at Taft Avenue, delivered the telling blows that landed DLSU its 13th finals appearance in the last 15 seasons, scoring six of his game-high 20 points in the final minute of the game.

After Marc Baracael split his charities to put the Tamaraws on the driver’s seat for the last time, 62-61, with still 1:28 left, Mangahas responded on the other end by completing a three-point play off a foul by Reil Cervantes.

Moments after De La Salle sneaked its way to finals, Ateneo de Manila didn’t wait too long to join its nemesis to forge yet another blockbuster championship showdown.

Ateneo de Manila and De La Salle will meet in the finals for the first time since 2002, when the Joel Banal-led Blue Eagles needed three games to wrestle the title away from the Green Archers.

Ginebra - Air21 Showdown Tonight

Posted by admin in news

The Barangay Ginebra-Air21 battle for the Smart PBA Fiesta Conference crown finally begins today with the Kings looking to stretch their franchise-record run and the Express hoping for the best in their first ever finals before an expected sellout crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.

Gametime is at 7:20 p.m. after the one-game playoff for third place between the Red Bull Barakos and the Magnolia Beverage Masters at 4:50 p.m.

Ginebra and Air21 are motivated to win the championship with the Kings even making two import changes and one major trade to bounce back from a shaky start to clinch the first finals berth behind an amazing 12-game streak.

Ronald Tubid will still be out of the playing court due to injury.
