dlsu wins pivotal game 3 by 1

free throws win shots. many basketball teams have used the technique of fouling their competitor's worst free throw shooter to edge closer and ultimately win the game.

this adage was proven yet again in today's 3rd - and pivotal - matchup between la salle and ateneo. if pocholo villanueva missed both of his free throws in the last 10 seconds (it wasn't an impossible scenario, given how much he sucks at the free throw line), the game would've gone into overtime and ateneo would've have five extra minutes to give coach franz pumaren his first 3rd straight loss.

the way ateneo has been playing lately, it would've been very possible for them to take the win and face off against ue in the finals. they probably wouldn't win because ue is just too damn strong a team. grabe.
