NCAA Power Rankings - 9/15-9/19
Tue, Sep 23, 2008 by Nash Castro
1 (6) Marvin Hayes (JRU) – I was supposed to do a mythical five top five, but that was kind of pushing it. Besides, the others did not cooperate. It is just proper to give homage to the player who helped his team to a 3-0 week. Hayes may not have had the best of stats (3.3 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 3 apg, 1.7 spg for the week), but who would have expected him to be in the mythical team... AGAIN?
2 Neil Pascual (MIT) – Pascual had his best game against the Stags (17 pts, 18 rebs, 9/17). Yes, he outmatched the much taller and should-have-been-MVP-because-he-had-the-best-statistical-points-but-his-team-was-eliminated Jason Ballesteros. As with other games, he is content hauling off rebounds and other stats are just bonuses (7 pts, 9 rebs, 7 off rebs vs CSJL, 9/15; 6 pts, 12 rebs, 3 asts, 2 stls vs SBC, 9/19).
3 Dino Daa (CSJL) – RJ Jazul may not mind if we defer to Daa for the meantime. Seen sobbing under a towel and being comforted by former Knight Mark Andaya during the alma mater hymn (vs JRU, 9/19), Daa had one of his most productive weeks (24 pts, 10/17 2pts, 5 rebs, 4 asts, 5 stls, 1 blk vs MIT, 9/15; 4 pts, 11 rebs vs JRU, 9/17; 16 pts, 9 rebs, 3 asts, 3 stls, 2 blks vs JRU, 9/19).
4 James Sena (JRU) – Sena might have been the most consistent Bomber whole week (13 ppg last week) recording two double-doubles (15 pts, 11 rebs, 4 asts, 4 blks vs CSJL, 9/17; 13 pts, 11 rebs, 3 asts, 2 stls, 1 blk vs CSJL, 9/19).
5 Ian Mazo (MIT) – The Cardinals shooting brigade had their respective moments in the three games they played that nobody stood out. Thus, the face of the group goes to the person who had the best average (12 ppg) and who had the best shooting (38% fg) in that span.
6 (8) John Wilson (JRU) – How big was Wilson's block on Jazul (vs CSJL, 9/19)? Oh, it was nothing. It just eliminated the Knights, had CSJL seniors basketball head coach Louie Alas storming the commissioner's table, and Jazul signing the scoresheet as protest in disgust and frustration. To merit his entry in the list, Wilson did some extra nonetheless (9 pts, 3 rebs, 2 asts vs SSCR, 9/15; 13 pts, 2/4 3pts, 8 rebs, 4 stls vs CSJL, 9/17; 10 pts, 3/3 2pts, 4 stls, 9/19).
7 Ogie Menor (SBC) – Sure, the Lions lost this game (vs MIT, 9/19), but nobody could deny that Menor was so unstoppable (18 pts, 6 rebs), he had to be mentioned by Cardinals seniors basketball head coach Leo Isaac in the postgame interview.
8 (10) Borgie Hermida (SBC) – After 14 pts, 5 rebs, 5 asts, 3 stls against the Cardinals (9/19), mini-Pong Escobal anyone?
9 Froilan Saquillo (SSCR) – What? A week without Ballesteros and Jim Viray? Do not worry. Saquillo did a Viray (16 pts, 7/10 fgs, 5 rebs vs JRU, 9/15) and a Ballesteros in two separate games (4 pts, 12 rebs, 2 stls, 2 blks vs MIT, 9/17).
10 (1) RJ Jazul (CSJL) – How could a guy score 0 pts, shoot 0/10 fgs (vs MIT, 9/15) and be still in the power ten? How about 12 rebs and 5 asts against the Cardinals, some pleasant stats against the Bombers (9 pts, 5 rebs, 3 asts, 2 stls, 9/17), and some more in the final game (17 pts, 4 rebs, 4 assts, 8 stls, 7 tos vs JRU, 9/19)?
