Crazy finishes

last wednesday, i was browsing through my twitter feed when i learned that perpetual,a team known for cheerdancing more than basketball in ncaa, was leading defending champions san beda a few minutes left in the fourth quarter. i was like, "oh, ok." then a few minutes later, i read tweets that the game went into overtime courtesy of a baser amer shot from way beyond half-court. it was then that i tuned into the game on television to see the other turn of events that led to perp's upset of beda.


then yesterday, i watched the game between ust and feu, which was part of uaap's opening set of games. ust, which led by 10 after 3 quarters, was dictating the tempo of the game behind big man karim abdul and former xavier standout jeric teng. until feu slowly caught up the lead (using one of my favorite liga de barangay commentator lines: "isa-isa, dahan-dahan, parang anay lang yan!") and even won the game through, again, another crazy finish.

the basketball season is now in full swing. i can't wait to watch more of these in the next few weeks especially with the return of the uaap.
