Outhustled and outworked.<br><br>That, in a nutshell, was how Far Eastern U head coach Nash Racela summed up his team's lackluster performance in their  against the National U on Wednesday night at the Araneta Coliseum in their UAAP Season 77 men鈥檚 basketball titular showdown.<br><br>Far from their sharp form that helped them take , the Tamaraws showed up flat-footed, falling into an early 16-point hole, and failed to come up with any kind of attack that could break the impenetrable defensive blanket employed by the Bulldogs.<br><br>And the post-game stats sheet said it all. Although its top two guns鈥攇uard Mike Tolomia and Mac Belo鈥攖allied at least 15 points, FEU collectively shot a horrendous 17-of-61 (27.87) percent from the field, including just two out of its first 15 attempts in the opening frame, and failed to hold its ground in crashing the boards, giving up 19 more on NU, which also enjoyed 27 offensive rebounds.<br><br>鈥淲e just got outhustled and outrebounded by NU,鈥?rued Racela. 鈥淲e got outrebounded by a big margin. They had 27 offensive rebounds. It鈥檚 hard to win that way because you gave them 27 extra possessions. There were a lot of 50-50 balls na naunahan kami ng NU.鈥?br><br>And NU鈥檚 lockdown defense also threw them off balance, according to Racela. 鈥淲e missed shots because they forced us to miss shots. They played great defense,鈥?he noted.<br><br>The 5-foot-10 Tolomia, who went 6-of-19 from the field, admitted their slow start did them in. <br><br>鈥淏uong game nagmamadali kami kasi first quarter pa lang, nakalamang na sila samin,鈥?he lamented, pointing to NU鈥檚 big 16-1 run in the opening frame that served as the Bulldogs鈥?springboard for a 22-6 lead, setting the tone for a methodical victory before a mammoth crowd of nearly 24,900 fans.<br><br>Racela echoed the same observation. 鈥淚t (NU鈥檚 strong start) is something na kailangan naming bantayan.

@@@ ST. LOUIS 鈥?Seventeen people were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly, St. Louis police said Sunday, and more protests are planned over the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson this summer.

Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October summit are protesting the shooting of the black man by a white policeman, which sparked sometimes violent demonstrations in the predominantly black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August.

Early Sunday morning, several protesters made their way to the south St. Louis neighborhood where another black 18-year-old was killed by a white police officer recently. Protesters occupied a Quicktrip gas station convenience store and staged a sit-in.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson posted on Twitter that protesters were attempting to storm the business. He later posted that protesters were throwing rocks at the police.

St. Louis police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said Sunday in an email that 17 people were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly. There were no reports of injuries or property damage, the email said.

On Monday, a direct action led by local and visiting clergy members is planned for Ferguson and other spots in and around St. Louis. Protest leaders don t plan to release details until shortly ahead of time to avoid tipping off law enforcement. Leaders are taking their cues from the Moral Monday demonstrations that began last year in North Carolina before spreading to several other Southern states. 

We still are knee deep in this situation, said Kareem Jackson, a St. Louis rap artist and community organizer whose stage name is Tef Poe. We have not packed up our bags, we have not gone home. This is not a fly-by-night moment. This is not a made-for-TV revolution. This is real people standing up to a real problem and saying, `We ain t taking it no more.

Two months after Brown s death sparked an initial wave of violent riots and led Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon to summon the National Guard, the highly organized weekend brought many newcomers to St. Louis.

The new arrivals included Vietnam-era peace activists, New York City seminarians, many college students and hundreds of fast-food workers bused in from Chicago, Nashville and other cities.

Outside Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis, where the Cardinals were playing the San Francisco Giants this weekend in the National League Championship Series, several dozen protesters stood on the sidewalk Saturday night, chanting and holding signs. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that fans headed to the game mainly went around the protesters without stopping to look, though a few cheered their efforts. Game 2 in the series is scheduled for Sunday night.

The planned events began Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor s office, where protesters renewed calls for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson officer, in the Aug. 9 death of Brown. A grand jury is reviewing the case and the Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation.

Earlier in the week, a small group of protesters verbally sparred outside the stadium with Cardinals fans who support the Ferguson officer. Dotson said the city also will bolster its police presence when the St. Louis Rams host the San Francisco 49ers for Monday night football.

Organizers said beforehand that they expected as many as 6,000 to 10,000 participants for the weekend s events.

Since Brown s death, three other fatal police shootings of black males have occurred in the St. Louis area. The most recent involved an off-duty St. Louis officer who was working for a private neighborhood security patrol when he shot and killed 18-year-old Vonderrit D. Myers on Wednesday night.

The white officer, whose name hasn t been released, fired 17 rounds after police say Myers opened fire. Myers parents say he was unarmed, and many speakers at the Saturday rally echoed those doubts.
