UP's protest is thrown out

In case you're wondering what happened to UP's protest over the non-lane violation call during the fifth free throw attempt by NU's Jewel Ponferrada to force a jump ball at center court, it has been thrown out. So the Fighting Maroons officially slump to a 0-10 record. 

League commissioner Ato Badolato said it was a judgement call by the referees. 

Sorry, Commish. They still have to call it. Even if it takes a hundred attempts by Ponferrada they still have to call it. But that sure took some balls for Boyet Fernandez to call that. That has to be one of the most comical if not infamous free throws attempts ever. But Diony Hipolito.... tough misses, man.

And what about those morons who called the Ateneo-La Salle match? That was a mighty suspicious fourth quarter.

Back to the Maroons. This is just one nightmare of a season. Even if they do win a game or two... I still think that this is worse than the 0-14 year simply because they are a much better team than the one in Joe Lipa's final year. Gotta feel bad for guys like Martin Reyes, Magi Sison, and Woody Co.

Team officials believe that Woody can still play a couple of games but Mark Lopez is done for the year after the ACL. Get well, brother.
