He was a 5'10" guard with a deadly-accurate jumpshot. He was muscular and scrappy; he seemed to be involved in some of the most physical plays since it was not his nature to back down. And he had ice in his veins. He had a penchant for hitting game-winners in the biggest contests.
During his time, the NCAA had champions for both the first and second rounds, with the two champions meeting for a best of three series for the crown. If a team won both rounds, they were automatically champion. With the first round championship on the line, he hit a game-winning jumpshot at the buzzer to give the Blue Eaglets a sure seat in the finals. At the championship game, he made a game-winning steal against the San Sebastian Staglets, in the instant the opposing guard glanced at the scoreboard to check the clock for a potentially game-winning offensive, and hit the lay-up as time expired. 70-68. He didn't bother using the backboard. He just fed the ball gracefully into the ring and the net barely moved. The blue half of the Rizal Memorial Coliseum exploded while the yellow half was stunned.
He moved up to the seniors and joined one of the most talented Blue Eagle teams of any college era. They won a couple of championships.
can someone tell me who is this?... thanks!!!
