A big weekend for UAAP Season 71
10,207 Views | 118 Comments
Well, this news aint earth shattering but rather a correction on what some dailies have reported so far. This is about the schedule of basketball games of the coming UAAP Season 71.
The season will open on July 5 Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum with the University of the Philippines hosting. And because UP is celebrating its’ 100 years of excellence, expect the Diliman community to come out in full force to top the magnificent opening UST did last season. In the meantime, the games on opening weekend will be as follows:
July 5 Saturday (Araneta Coliseum)
2PM FEU vs. Adamson University
4PM UST vs. UE
July 6 Sunday (Araneta Coliseum)
2PM UP vs. NU
4PM La Salle vs. Ateneo
Opening weekend will definitely be one weekend to remember, from the expected elaborate show to the games. A Slam-bang Affair, as one sports broadcaster will put it. This early, free beer should be given to this year’s host, University of the Philippines. Meanwhile, remaining games will be posted later as there are still some corrections to be made.
By the way, this season’s alternative venue for the basketball games are The Arena in San Juan and… (drum-roll please, then loud fan fare)… the Ninoy Aquino Stadium (NAS)!!! I don’t mean to belittle the NAS, but players, and teams for that matter had painful experiences there. Most of them were victims of theft, as locker room security in that venue in lax. Not to mention the floods when the rain comes during game day. Let’s just hope that the NAS people has addressed these problems.

I’m also hoping for a Yellow vs. Green finale in Season 71 just like the Boston vs. LA in NBA but then again it is still too early to tell.

Ateneo has had good teams in the past few years. Where have they finshed? Duh…no championships. La Salle is still the team to beat because they have the gest coach in college basketball.

Ateneo will still be a contender this season but I’m not sure if theey’ll be able to get the championship. But I’m pretty sure they’ll be creating a dynasty since they’ve managed to get the best batch of rookies in the whole Philippines. The four most sought after: Buenafe, Salva, Chua and Burke, will be a dominating lineup maybe starting next year. But as of now, they’ll get nominal minutes.

AdU vs FEU sa opening game? Falcons can win over the Tamaraws if they play as a team…but Tams is better team in terms of individual talents.

Let’s see… The opening games of the 71st UAAP Season is exciting. I love College Basketball, and Since UP will host the 2008-2009 season, I’m expecting that a big success for the 100-year old university. Syempre… Papanuorin ko ang opening ceremonies kasi 1st time ko mapapanuod ang UP hosting it,, (from 2002-present, Im following the UAAP Basketball Season) and I start it by observing the Opening Ceremonies…
Goodluck sa UP!
Uhm regarding the UST vs. UE game, parang the 60’s lang ung dating… Sana may gumawa ng Article about sa UST-UE Rivalry?! Nung 60’s…
Goodluck sa USTe… Proud ako sa Tigers! Roar! Haha

ViVa Santo Tomas on Season 71!!!
Big suggestion: In the coming year 2011, that’s the Season 74 of the UAAP, the De La Salle University will celebrate it’s centennial anniversary (founded in 1911) while the University of Santo Tomas will have it’s Quadricentennial Celebration (est. 1611). what if these two giant universities will joint forces in that year to host the 74th UAAP Season in 2011? great idea right? still have 3 years for these two giant schools to talk about these said event and it will be great if these catholic institutions will combine to host that season… di malabong mangyari to! :D
as of now, they must focus first in their own business but they can start the negotiation as early as now. :D
Peace!!! VivA Santo Tomas!!! Go USTe!!!

sir Kim,
what makes this opening weekend more exciting is the fact that Gilbert Arenas will watch the blue and green (hey, my name lol) fight it out on July 6 :)
