D-League Monday

Checking Out The D-League

January 17, Tuesday

Arena, San Juan

I don't really follow the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup but whenever I have a little free time, watching a D-League game or two is fine by me.  Last Jan.17, Tuesday, I caught the tail end of the NLEX vs Cafe France match and was able to watch the Blackwater vs Big Chill game which followed.  [Both games being critical quarterfinals matches]

 Chris Ellis - 16 points

Calvin Abueva -  9 points, 10 boards

RR Garcia - 25 big ones

 Tata Bautista [Blackwater], hounds RNW's de la Cruz [4].
Clark, Bautista's real name, leads ALL scorers with 13 points.

 Bautista, who did not play for UST in the last

UAAP Basketball Tournament will be back this July.

Chris Camus [left], now with Balckwater,

might or might not suit up for the UST Growling Tigers  this July. 
[I hear conflicting reports]

 Kevin Racal drives while Camus defends.

Racal leads, along with Zulueta, RNW with 8 markers.

I saw Kevin Racal [#16] in a 2011 Letran-DLSU match.

This guy's a daredevil.

 That's UST's ceredral guard, Jercic Fortuna, [in black, #25]
trying to make a move on Delgado.
Fortuna follows Bautista with 11 markers.

Delgado, this time with a getaway lay up.

Sanvictores [#34] and Racal [#16] double an unidentified Blackwater player

Both NLEX and Blackwater carve out convincing wins over

Cafe France and RNW respectively.

[NLEX - 107      Cafe France - 89]

[Blackwater - 65             RNW - 48]

 I just took photos of the stats.
