Habang nanantiling tahimik ang dating team captain ng UST Growling Tigers na si CJ Cansino sa dahilan ng kanyang pagtanggal sa kanyang dating koponan, ayon sa mga sanggunian, ang naging dahilan daw nito ang pagsalita ni Cansino para sa mga kapwa niyang manlalaro na gusto nang umuwi galing sa kanilang pag-eensayo.

Ayon kay Naveen Ganglani ng Rappler Sports, pumunta ang Growling Tigers sa Sorsogon noong Hunyo para magkaroon ng bubble para sa pag-eensayo nila, at dito rin nagsalita si Cansino para sa mga kapwa niyang player na gusto nang maka-uwi sa kanilang mga pamilya.

The UST players went to Sorsogon in June for a “bubble”

Lately the players were “drained” mentally being away from their families, esp during a pandemic

CJ spoke up for the team and was eventually taken off

He returned to Manila and wasn’t the only Tiger to do so

Kaninang umaga din lamang ay naglabas si Cansino ng pahayag kung saan inilahad niya na tinanggal siya ng Growling Tigers matapos pumutok ang balita noong Huwebes ng gabi. Isinaad niya dito ang kagustuhan niya sanang maglaro pa para sa Unibersidad kung siya ang papipiliin.

“Bigyan lang ako ng rason para hindi lumipat maglalaro pa rin ako sa UST eh. Kaya lang tinanggal ako eh. Hindi mo naman pwede ipagpilitan yung sarili mo. May pangarap din naman ako para sa sarili ko. Kaya sobrang lungkot lang na kailangan kong umalis sa UST kahit hindi ko gusto,” sabi ni Cansino sa kanyang pahayag.

Sa ngayon, wala pang lilipatan na koponan ang dating kapitan ng Growling Tigers, ngunit patuloy and pagsuyo sa kanya ng mga bigating pangalan ng mga karibal na Unibersidad.

Unang pumasok si Cansino sa UAAP Seniors Division noong 2018, kung saan ito ay tinaguriang super rookie at natapos na pangalawa sa botohan ng Rookie of the Year award noon, ngunit hindi nito natapos ang season matapos ito magkaroon ng pinsala sa kanyang ACL.

Nalimitahan man ang kontribusyon nya para sa Growling Tigers noong UAAP Season 82, naging importante pa rin ang pa rin ang 5.9 na puntos, 5.2 na rebounds, at 1.9 na assist nya sa pag usad ng Growling Tigers sa Finals kung saan nakaharap nila ang Ateneo Blue Eagles.

Ngunit tinanggal man si Cansino, mananatili sa UST ang kasalukuyang Rookie of the Year na si Mark Nonoy, Most Valuable Player na si Soulemane Chabi Yo, at si Rhenz Abando.

Pagkatapos ang dalawang araw ng katahimikan, naglabas na ng pahayag ang UST head coach na si Aldin Ayo para sagutin ang mga katanungan tungkol sa biglaang pag-tanggal sa dating team captain na si CJ Cansino, at ang hinihinalang “training bubble” ng kanyang koponan sa Sorsogon.

Sa pahayag na nilabas nito noong Linggo ng gabi, isinaad ni Ayo ang pagkakaiba ng pananaw sa buhay, at na lumabas ang mga pagkakaibang ito ngayong panahon ng pandemya.

“The circumstances of life today have brought out the marked differences between my orientation in life and the fundamental option of our player CJ Cansino,” sabi ni Ayo sa kanyang pahayag.

“We have found that it would be best that we part ways and allow maximum growth for each other. We wish him the Best of Providence in his new endeavor with a different team. We express our gratitude for the years and effort he poured so generously for UST,” idinagdag nito.

Tinanggal umano ang homegrown product ng Unibersidad dahil sa pagsasalita para sa mga manlalarong gusto nang umuwi sa kanilang pamilya galing sa “training bubble” at ito ay nakatakdang maglaro para sa UP Fighting Maroons sa UAAP Season 84 sapagkat base sa mga batas ng UAAP, kailangan ni Cansino tuparin ang kanyang one-year residency.

Pag-dating naman sa isyu ng “training bubble” sa Sorsogon, pinili na lang manahimik ng UST head coach umano dahil sa imbestigasyon ng Unibersidad at ng Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

“Regarding the alleged “bubble training” in Sorsogon, I will not comment for now as UST is already investigating the matter as well as the IATF. I am fully cooperating with the on-going investigations and praying that in due time, this will be properly addressed,” sabi ni Ayo.

Sa isang pahayag na nilabas nito noong Linggo ng umaga, kinumpirma ng Unibersidad na sila mismo ay naglunsad na ng sariling imbestigasyon ukol sa isyu.

“Today, we heard news about the alleged breach of quarantine by the UST Men’s Basketball Team in Sorsogon. Accordingly, we created a committee to investigate and inquire into the matter,” isinaad ng Unibersidad sa kanilang pahayag.

Unang pumasok si Aldin Ayo noong 2018, kung saan siya ang napili para ibalik ang UST Growling Tigers sa pagka-panalo. Isang taon pagkatapos ang kanyang pag-pasok, nadala niya ang mga ito sa Finals ng UAAP Season 82, kung saan nakaharap nila ang Ateneo Blue Eagles.

Bago ito pumasok sa UST, dalawang beses nang nanalo ng kampeonato si Ayo bilang head coach, isa sa NCAA noong 2015 para sa kanyang alma mater na Letran, at noong 2016 naman para sa De La Salle Green Archers sa UAAP, isang karibal na koponan ng Growling Tigers.

The UST Growling Tigers were eliminated by the San Beda Red Lions, 68-77, in a matchup between the UAAP and NCAA runner ups in the final day of eliminations in the 2020 PCCL UAAP-NCAA Challenge held at the FilOil Flying V Center in San Juan Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020.

James Kwekuteye led the Legarda-based squad with 14 points and seven assists with the help of Peter Alfaro finishing with 13 markers and two clutch offensive rebounds, while UST’s team captain CJ Cansino held his own with 21 points and nine boards.

It was slow start for both teams until San Beda drew first blood while the Tigers still in the cold missing Rhenz Abando’s presence because of sore eyes.

Free-throws helped UST keep themselves in the game despite their dismal 3/20 shooting while San Beda fared better at 7/19 ending the first half doubling their lead of six from the first quarter, 39-27.

UST entered the second half strong, with their three-pointers starting to go in, but a relentless Red Lion squad and a slump to end the third quarter had them with a 46-62 deficit heading into the fourth.

Momentum shifted to the España side as the final canto arrived with consecutive turnovers from San Beda and huge buckets from Brent Paraiso and CJ Cansino cut the deficit down to single-digits.

However, UST struggled to knock their free throws down as San Beda regained their composure to ultimately pull away with the win.

Brent Paraiso chipped in 12 points while reigning UAAP MVP Soulemane Chabi Yo faced another another scoring slump finishing with only six points and nine rebounds. Mark Nonoy was also unsuccessful in finding his range with nine markers and seven boards.

The UST Growling Tigers was handed its first loss by the defending UAAP champions the Ateneo Blue Eagles, 71-82, in the 2020 Philippine Collegiate Champions League’s UAAP-NCAA Challenge at the FilOil Flying V Centere in San Juan on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020.

Lots of drama happened from the start up to the end as the rivals of the UAAP from España and Katipunan squared up once again, with SJ Belangel proving to be the new “King Eagle” after scoring 26 points while for the Tigers, Renz Abando and Deo Cuajao finished with 14 points each.

Belangel stepped up to give Ateneo the early lead with the help of the team’s chippy defense that led to UST’s sloppy 7 turnovers to start the game.

Along with Belangel’s efforts and Ateneo’s defense, high-level rebounding and sloppy fouls from the Tigers led to an early 15-29 deficit for UST.

Deo Cuajao and Rhenz Abando combined for an 8-0 run in the second quarter that helped UST back into the game, along with better rebounding overall, however turnovers and Ateneo maintaining their composure culminated in the Tigers trailing 38-48 after the first 20 minutes.

In the third quarter, UST started off strong before SJ Belangel proceeded to erupt for three consecutive triples to extinguish UST’s momentum.

Ultimately the Tigers ended the third quarter on a high note with momentum on their side, especially after fouls on Pat Maagdenberg and head coach Tab Baldwin.

Heading into the fourth quarter with a score of 65-66, UST was outscored by the defending UAAP champs 16-6, with Ateneo functioning well on both sides of the floor, courteousy of SJ Belangel’s orchestration and Ange Kouame’s inside presence.

UST team captain CJ Cansino chipped in 10 markers and former NSNU Bullpup Paul Manalang contributed 6 dimes, while reigning UAAP MVP Soulemane Chabi Yo only scored five points along with six rebounds.

Ateneo’s Kouame however finished with double-double of 15 points and 13 boards helped by the new Fil-Am recruit Dwight Ramos with eight markers and three assists.

UST will face the NCAA runner-ups San Beda Red Lions next on the final day of eliminations on Saturday (Feb. 15) at the same venue. R. P. Brillo
