Here is what is presumably the last post of a day filled with long posts:

Ateneo won against UE in the UAAP games. It was actually a close game. The scores were tired and Ateneo had the possession of the ball. They had seven seconds to get the ball from the opposite side of the court to the other and make it sink in the basket. Some were probably thinking the game would go overtime. Fortunately, Ateneo shot the ball in the nick of time. I'm sure the bookies at school are having a field day, considering that it was only a two point lead. Not only do bookies keep 10% of winning bets (I bet you P1000 and if you win, I give you P1900) but there's usually a catch to the winning team. Depending on the team, a win isn't enough. They need to lead by a certain number of points or higher. For example, since DLSU is a strong team, a better would win if DLSU won a game with a lead of ten points against, say, Adamson.

Of course if DLSU wasn't playing at their peak when they were fighting against Ateneo, the same goes for Ateneo against UE. I mean their normal scorers only made a few baskets. It was the other players that were gaining points for Ateneo. Heck, the winning shot was made by the unlikeliest of people. If it weren't for all the fouls of UE, Ateneo wouldn't have won. I mean probably half of the points scored were due to free throws. During the 3rd quarter, Ateneo was down by eight points. Ateneo managed to catch up because of the free throws.

If there's anything I've learned from watching these games (and watching Slam Dunk), it's that the game isn't over until it's over. That's why I usually just tune in during the 4th quarter because high leads early in the game are usually gained back by the time the game is at an end.

At least next week will be a promising game between Ateneo vs. DLSU. Since it's a best two out of three, it'll be interesting if both teams win a match and compete for the last, crucial victory.
