T Galleria stole the semis berth from IT&E after pulling off an 81-75 overtime win in their playoff game in the 2016 IT&E Inter-Government\/Business Basketball League last Friday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Junar Guiab canned the equalizer in regulation and then scored 4 points in the extra period to hand T Galleria the third semis ticket and eliminate IT&E, which bungled an 16-point advantage in the first half.<\/p>\n

IT&E held T Galleria to a field goal in the first quarter for a 16-2 lead and made it an 18-2 spread after Edwin Santos started the second frame with a pair of charities. However, T Galleria began working its way back into the game after that and cut the deficit to a deuce at halftime, 37-39.<\/p>\n

Marlon De Dios, who tallied T Galleria\u2019s 2 points in the first period, had 10 markers in the second to lead his team\u2019s recovery. He also drew enough support from his teammates to bring IT&E\u2019s lead down to single digit.<\/p>\n

However, IT&E regained the double-figure advantage at the end of the third, 57-47, behind the 11 markers of Lerio Pagarao.<\/p>\n

Despite facing another twin-digit deficit, T Galleria never gave up and this time it was Brendon Talania who anchored the squad\u2019s fightback, knocking in 9 points. De Dios chipped in 7, while Guaib\u2019s basket under the one-minute mark of regulation tied the match and gave T Galleria a chance to make it to the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Guaib, who just scored 2 points in the first three quarters, continued his heroics in the extension, drilling a pair of field goals, while Ivan Devero and Talania contributed 3 markers each. <\/p>\n

IT&E, on the other hand, was held to one field goal off Errol Peredo\u2019s basket and two charities from Angel Fernando.<\/p>\n

With the close win, T Galleria set a semis duel against MJD tonight at 6:30pm.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the second semis matchup at 8pm will have DFEMS challenging Pacific Islands Club as the former defeated Best Sunshine International, 79-71, in last Friday\u2019s quarterfinal tiff.<\/p>\n

Ben Lisua towed BFEMS to the Final Four after firing a game-high 28 points. Josh Sablan backed him up, chipping in 20, 18 of them came from beyond the arc.
\nArvin Fernandez led BSI\u2019s losing cause, scoring 24.<\/p>\n
