Caguioa added 20 and Seigle 14, with his consecutive in-your-face slam dunks in the third quarter typifying the Nationals dominance by opening a 68-45 spread.

The 16 3-pointers for the Philippines were more than its combined output in its games with Singapore and Indonesia.

Thailand was battling Indonesia at press time, with the second ticket to Tokushima still up for grabs among them and the Malaysians.

The scores:

SMC-RP 102 - Ritualo 27, Caguioa 20, Seigle 14, Taulava 9, Alapag 9, Helterbrand 7, Pennisi 6, De Ocampo 4, Villanueva 4, Canaleta 2, Raymundo 0, Hontiveros 0.

MALAYSIA 72 - Satyaseelan 23, Guganeswaran 14, Koh 10, Chai 8, Chee 7, Soo 6, Chan 2, Ng 2, Tong 0, Tan 0, Chow 0, Won 0.

Quarters: 21-19; 53-36; 75-51; 102-72.

SMC-PILIPINAS DRUBS THAIS, SWEEPS SEABA CAGEFEST
Management group to evaluate team, changes may be in the offing
2007-05-28_SEABA_5188.jpg


RATCHABURI, Thailand A mission accomplished for San Miguel-Pilipinas found a thrilling counterpart Monday as Thailand fulfilled a dream come true at the close of the 7th Southeast Asian Basketball Association Men's Championship.

Pre-ordained to sweep the qualifier to the FIBA-Asia Men's Championship in Tokushima, Japan this July, the Nationals climaxed its dominance of the regional competition by beating the host Thais, 96-76, at the New Ratchaburi gym, the venue festively adorned in red-and-gold and light blue-and-white silks in honor of the Crown Prince to whom the tournament was named after.

Though anticlimactic in nature with the Philippines (4-0) and Indonesia (3-1) having clinched the top two berths to Tokushima, site of the Olympic qualifier, the final game turned into a memorable one, both for the all-PBA squad and the proud Thais.

For once, SMC-RP trailed at the end of the first quarter, 23-24, and didn't taste the lead until after two minutes into the second on Mark Caguiao's driving layup, 28-27 a testament to the tenacity put up by Thailand.

A three-point shot by Renren Ritualo gave the Nationals their first double-digit advantage at 37-27, with 5:35 left in the half, an unheard of occurrence since SMC-RP had gotten used to having the game blown open at this stage in their previous three games.

RP coach Chot Reyes raged at his players another rare moment at the end of the first quarter, and although the Nationals responded by streaking to several 25-point spreads in the third, the last at 75-50 on a Kerby Raymundo basket, the Thais, with an 11-0 run, rallied to within 11 points, 77-66, in the fourth period with aggressive defense and impeccable shooting.

Not on few occasions did Asi Taulava (13 rebounds) and Danny Seigle (11 rebounds, 10 of 10 free throws) get tangled up with Thai defenders under the basket, resulting in tense moments diffused in time.

It was also the first time an opposing crowd outnumbered the Filipino followers who had faithfully cheered for the Nationals from Day One, turning the venue into a haven for boisterous partisan applause and jeering.

In front of their home crowd, the feisty Thais came up with their best game in the tournament, a performance that would have merited a slot in the Olympic qualifier had they produced it in their game with Indonesia Saturday which they lost 55-65.

But the Nationals were not to be denied, concluding the SEABA tournament with a 38.5 winning margin in four games.

Reyes found little reason to celebrate.

"We didn't even have the game to beat Chinese-Taipei. Now we have two months to get to that level," said Reyes, who brought up the names of Willie Miller of Alaska, Kelly Williams of Sta. Lucia and Gabe Norwood, a Fil-Am from George Mason University as possible additions to the national team.

"Essentially, we're basically cramming," he added, providing portents of big changes to come in the team within the next few days.

SMC-RP returns home for a final evaluation among Reyes, PBA commissioner Noli Eala, league chairman Ricky Vargas and team manager Robert Non before plunging back to training for the all-import Tokushima tourney where the Asian qualifier to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 will be chosen.

The scores:

SMC-RP 96 Seigle 22, Caguioa 18, Taulava 16 Alapag 12, Hontiveros 9, Ritualo 9, Villanueva 6, Raymundo 4, De Ocampo 0, Pennisi 0, Helterbrand 0, Canaleta 0.

THAILAND 76 Piyapong 11, Ratdech 11, Chaiwat 10, Attaporn 9, Mana 9, Darongphan 8, Jakkpapan 8, Sopon 7, Boonchai 3, Nontabob 0,

Quarters: 23-24; 52-41; 77-55; 96-76.

I believe the quarters is also round-robin, with leaders of A and C being grouped with seconds of B amd D, and the leaders of B and D to be grouped with the seconds from A and C.

Semis is the sudden-death crossover with leader of the first group facing the second placer of the other, the leader of the other faces the second of the first.

Realtors prized Fil-Am snubs national team?
By Nelson Beltran
Tuesday, June 12, 2007
Kelly Williams could play a key role for the RP team in its campaign in the forthcoming FIBA-Asia Olympic qualifier but the top Sta. Lucia Fil-Am rookie seems not keen on joining the team.

Williams, in fact, was not included in the RP team that left for training in Belgrade, Serbia yesterday as he made himself scarce from team officials.

He didnt answer my calls and messages. He answered a text message by coach Aboy (Castro). But when coach Aboy tried to call, the phone just kept ringing, said RP team coach Chot Reyes.

Its sad because I really need a player like him, a big man who can run and defend the perimeter. The team needs personnel for that spot with the withdrawal of Rudy Hatfield from the squad, Reyes said.

The RP team management committee has named Williams and US collegiate product Gabe Norwood as new additions to the RP pool. Norwood was to catch the RP team at Heathrow Airport in London, joining them in their flight to Belgrade.

A team insider said this development severely diminished Williams chance of making it to Tokushima.

There were reports that Williams probably felt slighted for not making it to the original lineup announced by Reyes last February.

Baka nga nag-tampo. But guys like Eric Menk, Sonny Thoss, Nic Belasco, Don Allado and Willie Miller have been telling me theyre always ready when their services are needed. They are the ones who should feel bad because theyre veterans, said Reyes.

Castro said Williams sent a short text message saying hes looking for a vacation in the US.

Its not clear whether Williams has already left the country. The Realtors have been eliminated from the PBA Fiesta Cup Friday.

The national coach was responsible for bringing in Williams as potential talent for the RP team. He was then fresh out of University of Detroit in Oakland.

After Williams stint with Magnolia in the PBL, Reyes tried to work out a way to get the 6-foot-5 players into the San Miguel fold in the pros. Sta. Lucia, however, beat San Miguel in the draft.

Sta. Lucia struggled all season long but Williams may still end up the leagues Rookie of the Year.



Short answer about FIBA and the Philippines:

BAP and the POC were quarreling, so FIBA suspended the Philippines from participating in FIBA sanctioned competitions.
