THE Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) Blue Knights dealt the erstwhile unbeaten Jose Maria College (JMC) Kings a crushing blow Sunday, hacking out a big win in the Liga Dabaw first Conference basketball tournament and sending coach Dodong Cagampang to lose his temper at the Davao City Recreation Center.
Cagampang, the King's coach, was reprimanded by the referee for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the Blue Knights' 99-91 victory in Bracket A of the Collegiate division.
Cagampang took the defeat badly that he cursed the referees no end, although the Blue Knights played well enough to win in the highly physical contest.
Five players finished in double figures as the Blue Knights tallied their third straight victory after losing their opening-day game to the University of Mindanao (UM) Wildcats.
Richard Madelo paced all scorers with 27 points while Joseph Conrad Fernando and Ronnel Sepe each had 17. Eric Matthew Cabigas added 14 and Marc Serapio made 13 as the Blue Knights tied the Cardinals in the team standings with a 3-1 card.
Ateneo coach Cholo Elegino credited his players for playing hard, especially on the defensive end. The Blue Knights employed a 1-3-1 zone defense that stymied the fearsome JMC offense.
"It was a big win for us. This is the first time that we beat JMC this year," Elegino said.
The Kings' ace gunner Rey Casanillo was ejected early in the fourth quarter for rough play.
In the Commercial Division game, CM Farm crushed the Vice Mayor's Office, 93-70. The CM Farm dribblers are now toting a 2-2 slate while the defeat dropped VMO to 1-2.

Explosive frontline keys Ateneo victory
THE Ateneo de Davao University Blue Knights relied on their explosive frontline to outplay John Paul II College, 87-81, in the Liga Dabaw First Conference basketball tournament before a big crowd at the Davao City Recreation Center Sunday night.
Six-foot-five Joseph Conrad Fernando, Ateneo's shooting center, scored a game-high 22 points and forward Eric Matthew Cabigas added 18 as the Blue Knights booked their first win in the collegiate division in two outings.
Fernando also made four three-pointers and had five blocks for Ateneo, which fell behind early but came back strong starting in the second quarter.
Cabigas was equally impressive for the Ateneo dribblers, with most of his output coming from undergoal stabs and perimeter jumpers. Richard Madelo added 13 for Ateneo.
Harly Garcia scored 14 points to lead John Paul.
The Blue Knights held a slim 22-21 lead after the opening period, but John Paul controlled the tempo in the second to seize a 38-37 advantage at the half.
Fernando and Cabigas then joined hands to lead the Ateneo attack in the third canto. With Madelo also igniting for his team, Ateneo took back the lead and was 69-57 up going into the payoff period.
In the main game, Montaña Pawnshop demolished Sanman, 102-84, in a commercial division showdown that was all over in the first half.
Tata Fernandez led Montaña with 28 points while Mike Maniego added 20, including five three-point shots.
In a sectoral contest played much ealier, ABS-CBN beat Coca-Cola, 104-100, in overtime.
Among those in attendance during the Sunday games were Liga Dabaw secretary general William "Butch" Ramirez and Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) Region 11 director Regino "Boy" Cua. (Charles Raymond A. Maxey)

Ateneo cagers gain valuable experience after UniGames campaign
Ateneo cagers gain valuable experience after UniGames campaign
Ateneo de Davao University failed to advance to the quarterfinals but gained a lot of valuable experience in the recently-concluded 2010 Philippine Sports Commission-National University Games in Dumaguete City.
Blue Knights coach Pocholo Elegino said belonging to a tough bracket with Adamson University, West Negros University, Rizal Technological University and Asian College of Science and Technology was not an easy job.
RTU sealed their fate with 20-point setback last October 27 after losing first to Adamson, 47-88 then to WNU, 72-82. Ateneo won over ACST, 76-68 to sport a 1- 3 win-loss record in the week-long UniGames campaign this year.
"We were simply overpowered by a big line-up," he said.
But playing against the taller and bigger players gave them the needed exposure as they go back campaigning in Davao leagues like the annual Gaisano Cup, Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) and Davao Association of Colleges and Schools (DACS) leagues.
"Unfortunately, my key players were injured too but we played very hard and did not just give up," said Elegino.
The lessons they learned in the prestigious UniGames, however, are soon to be of good use when they resume playing in Davao City, he added.
