Let’s throw away the stats book and lets see who among the final three will have the right to challenge the UE Red Warriors for this seasons UAAP finals.
UST Growling Tigers vs. Ateneo Blue Eagles
The reigning UAAP champs, the Growling Tigers, are once again out to prove their critics wrong during the initial stage of the season. Coach Pido Jarencio would love to have this situation. Have you seen his last post game interview? He believes he’s ready, he’s confident that he can pull it off one more time and his comments are borderline arrogant but that’s what the UST community like about him, his positive attitude and his faith in his players. With Jervy Cruz leading the way, with an MVP performance to boot plus a great cast, the Growling Tigers’ sortie is just beginning.
Why Ateneo will NOT win over UST? Again, let me make you remember. That game against the Bulldogs was no excuse. In that game, the Blue Eagles expected NU will just roll over and die. They don’t have to say it, it’s in their body language all game long. They didn’t have that aggression, that fire, the poise that made them who they really are – a prime candidate for this year’s finals. If they only had that same hard line poise in thier La Salle game with the Bulldogs, they won’t be in this predicament and the situation will be much simpler for the Blue Eagles.
Maybe, just maybe, but I hope I’m wrong, they wanted to have another crack at La Salle. They did it the hard way just to face La Salle? This attitude might confirm why the Blue Eagles will not ever, I say again, not ever win a championship title unless they face La Salle in a UAAP finals match. This might be the same kind of attitude why they lost to the Bulldogs. Ateneo needs its appetite of defeating their “archrival� and let the situation be handed to them in a silver platter, but it sounds like a movie fantasy doesn’t it. HELLLO!!! Earth calling “the� Ateneo!!!
Why will Ateneo WIN over UST? Simple, its motivation, its desire to once again face its “archrivalâ€?. Ateneo has worked long and hard during the off season to prepare for this? Just for your “archrival”. If I were La Salle I should be touched. I hope I’m wrong. I’ve heard it too – It’s ok to loose to any school, but not La Salle. I hope I’m wrong.
The De La Salle Green Archers
Started strong. Midway had a bump on the road. But managed to clinch the twice to beat advantage after their loss against UE. They almost had the win until JV Casio missed from the free throw line with 3.5 seconds left. But that’s history. The Green Archers are just waiting. The Green Archers are a battered. Rico Maierhofer has a frail ankle. Brian Ilad is now suspended. The back court will not be a problem for La Salle, but the availability of athletic big men to match up is thin and will pose some difficulties for Coach Franz Pumaren.
So who will challenge the UE Red Warriors for the UAAP Season 70 Title?
I have in my possession 20 Petron Shirts to be given for FREE if 20 people can predict the Red Warriors’ opponent in the UAAP Finals. Just send an email to mike@inboundpass.com and the first 20 correct answers will receive their Petron T-Shirt.

Gusto kong makalaban ng UE ay ADMU…
Mga pikon kasi mga Lasalista, palibhasa desperado sila ngun (senior basketball team)kasi nga suspended sila last season. At least pag Ateneo ang kalaban sa finals magiging maganda ang mga laban kumpara sa DLSU na lalampasuhin lng ng warriors.
Lalo na si Mayerhoper (puro ka-angasan lng naman ang alam). Isama mo pa ung Ilad (ung boksingero na takbuhin).
Honestly, dismayadong dismayado ako sa performance ng La Salle coming from a one year suspension. Hinde pa ba cla natuto from last years’ suspension o kulang pa un?
Lam ko mananalo ateneo para mabigyan nila ng magandang laban ang UE red warriors….
See you at the finals Ateneo Blue Eagles…
Good Luck.

UE has an experience in a championship match. They’ve joined different tournaments as part off a warm up on this season. They also won championship together with Coach Dindo although this time the pressure is definetely at the highest point. Knowing Coach Dindo, he should have prepared his boys which he is doing since calling the shots for the Red Warriors.
I want the strongest possible team to face UE at the Finals. It’s definitely a toss up between the ADMU and the DLSU. By facing a tough opponent only will test the UE’s desire to win and the hard work of the coaching staff will really pay off.
Thus giving us fans the most exciting finals on the uaap.

ADMU won over DLSU thus they have another game on Sept 30. Though I hate DLSU for being so arrogant while playing, it would be an easy game with DLSU. I hope that DLSU wins this game so that I could see DLSU in the first game for finals! UE has beaten DLSU easily for the past games compared to ADMU. Nonetheless, I know UE will give their Warrior Best!
Go Fight Red and White!
Go Fight Red and White!
Fight! Fight! Fight!

Hi Guys,
It’s now down to a single game on September 30. Who will it be? Who will take the final seat and try to beat the hell out of UE?
