Adamson Soaring Falcons def. NU Bulldogs 83-76

Notable Players:

Jerie Pingoy, Adamson (12 points, 5 assists, 6 steals): Pingoy is starting to find his groove with Adamson, even managing to log more production compared to Robbie Manalang. It took a while. but it's a delight to watch Pingoy play this well after so long.

Papi Sarr, Adamson (19 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals): Papi needs to continue to put up performances like these for Adamson to stay in the mix for the Final Four. He was solid, and he should build off this for upcoming games.

Jerrick Ahanmisi, Adamson (13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists): HE'S ALIVE!!!!! Just getting to see Jerrick play this well should already be promising for Adamson supporters. It's no explosion by his standards, but he should get there soon.

J-Jay Alejandro, NU (25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists): This was a great bounce-back performance from him shooting-wise after a sub-par outing last time around. Surely though, he would have wanted the win more than anything else. 

Enzo Joson, NU (3 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals): The rookie formerly of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets put up a solid performance, helping provide energy for the Bulldogs. For an NU team filled with scorers, Enzo's hustle on both ends of the floor is a welcome addition.

Quick Analysis:

- This game was an absolute slug fest between the two dark horses, with both teams throwing blow after blow for the entirety of the game. Efficiency on the offensive end was poopy too, with both teams not shooting too well from the floor.

- The offense for the game wasn't completely terrible overall. Both teams weren't efficient, yes, but they were still able to score. Both teams logged  90+ points per 100 possessions, not a bad number by any means.

- What truly made the difference in this game was how NU was how Adamson controlled the pace. NU thrives with a game that has a lot of possessions, while Adamson uses the press to delay offenses forcing teams to then make bad decisions. NU played to Adamson's pace, and it led to their doom.

- Turnovers were also a big factor for this match-up. Jerie Pingoy alone had a whopping six steals, while Adamson had 13 in total. The 22 turnovers of NU led to 24 points of Adamson, spelling the difference in a game where NU actually shot the ball better compared to Adamson.

Analyzing Shaun Ildefonso's decision to join the NU Bulldogs

By
Last night, in a surprising turn of events for many, Shaun Ildefonso announced on his Twitter account that he was leaving Ateneo to join the NU Bulldogs. You can find his entire message below: Ateneo will always be home. Thank you for the One Big Fight 💙 pic.twitter.com/uV2usLF7bx — Shaun Ildefonso (@ShaunIldefonso) May 29, 2017 The gist of his message is this: He's joining NU to join his dad, and he feels like with the Bulldogs, his athletic potential will be fully realized. The rest of his message has him thanking friends that he made during his stay in college, and the rest of the Ateneo community. For the case of this piece, only two facts are important: Shaun Ildefonso is going to NU, and a big reason for that happens to be his dad, Danny Ildefonso.

How the decision affects Shaun It's important that we discuss the primary subject of this entire exercise...
