Now, Im right. I said this before to those southern team who support your USJ-R Jaguars. You prove nothing, you trying to impost to me that I should respect your team. How could I respect them? If they never have a chance to match up to our reigning 3-peat NCAA Champions, the San Beda College Red Lions?
I said this before, respect have to be Ã¢â‚¬Å“EARNEDÃ¢â‚¬Â and Ã¢â‚¬Å“NOT TO IMPOST IT!Ã¢â‚¬Â. In your dreams that the you southern team will go up the Final? Ang Tayog naman.

No donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even know coach Franky Lim of San Beda is watching your team already during your match in CESAFI(tama ba yung type ko?). Almost to defeat Letran in wildcard is not enough to much up on our NCAA team.

Another thing, sa mga tatamaan bahala kayo kung ano ang gusto nyung sabihin sa akin, i really donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t care. Im just saying the facts, and not hoax of dreaming anything.

peace.
Mabuhay Rizal!

nya ha ha! I dont care what you saying in this article. Number 1 ka ng number 1 ka dyan. DOnt say na wla me respeto sa ibang team, I;ve been in JRU and when JRU defeated us in the Championship, I’am the first one who accept our defeat. It isnt right to say the UAAP is number 1 league, coz u so hated what I said at tignan mo may natamaan. Look at may opinions I never drag any names from you. If you think you really hurt to what I said, better not to read my opinions.
Another thing, you dont impost respect to us, earn it first

@racer_sebastianista ok point taken, but what i said din nung nauna is a reaction also sa sinabi nya,
same as your reaction nung nabasa mo ung post ko, siguro i just wanted her to feel that also.

Sabagay dapat talaga patigasan ng balat dito, ill try to ignore her next time.
Peace! By the way Goodluck sa SSCR vs Letran, SSCR from Cavite i believe is from the NAASCU league, hope they can follow STI’s finish last year or malagpasan pa, Good Luck to all the Teams!

GO CEBU TEAMS in the Sweet 16!

USJR “JAGUARS”
USC “WARRIORS”

@waray diha
O i see. Anyway, its her opinion… But instead of saying that UAAP is No.1 compared to the NCAA, why dont you just lift your own league? Siyempre may mga magrereact sayo dito na NCAA member school when you say UAAP is no.1 compared to NCAA… Of course, magpapa daig ba ang mga NCAA member school, i don’t think so..

@racer_sebastianista
Dont worry about what i said i have lots of respect to UAAP and NCAA, kaya ko lang sinasabi yan para ipoint out kay Rajah25_SOlayman na kahit papano dapat marunong siya magbigay respeto sa pagpopost dito, what i said was actually a reply to her line, ito po iyon:

“On the other hand, to the cebuano schools out there, I absolutely agree that Manila teams will go and remain in the PCL. We dont care if the battle was CLOSE! Letran is one of the best team in the Philippines. And read these carefully, all of you are Ã¢â‚¬Å“NO MATCHÃ¢â‚¬Â in the UAAP nor the NCAA teams.
No matter what you all want to say, the UAAP and abosulutely the NCAA are the best leagues in the Philippines”

So that was the story.

@waray diha
From what school are you? Anyway, may iba iba naman characteristics ang bawat school sa dalawang major league (UAAP & NCAA). You can’t just say UAAP is no.1. i mean what are your basis? If your basis is the recently result of the All STAR game where UAAP beat the NCAA this year, you’re absolutely WRONG! You can’t just based it there..

Bravo!

well, for your information, im not a man. So don’t use word “his”. I am a women for your information. Hindi ako nag sasabing mayabang ang manila based team. We really mean it! We prove it many times.
And don’t say that the UAAP is number 1 unlyk the NCAA, well think again for the 2nd time. NCAA and UAAP are all manila based team, and how could you say that UAAP is number 1? When you are not one of them.
Kaya nga the planning of merging of NCAA and UAAP are still one of the major plans in Colligiate Basketball
Im not a racist, Im saying the truth

@bystander – at least by going through the elimination process, the non-seeded NCAA and UAAP teams now take the games seriously. Before, their hearts were not into it (especially the champions – who just won the prize NCAA or UAAP plums). I believe the major reason today why every game is fought for – is the 500,000 cash prize to be given to the champion team (also a similar amount to the schools). With that kind of money to be won, patay kung patay ang labanan, instead of the sleeper exhibiton games we saw in the past.

@Grrr!

They tried to make it more democratic but the bottomline is still the same. The top 4 teams in both the UAAP and NCAA are in the Sweet 16. Pinahirapan lang nila yung #3 and 4 ng UA at NC pero ganun din.

Looking at the bright side, the advantage for these teams, in my view, is that they get more practice while the UA and NC champs and runners-up remain idle (or rusty?) for a while. Not good considering that the CCL has a win-or-go-home format.

It looke like there are 5 NCAA teams in the PCCL, if we consider Arellano U Chiefs as part of the mix. It looks like the Chiefs are almost a shoo in to replace PCU. Is Coach Leo Isaac handling the Chiefs too? It would be interesting if MIT and AU meet each other somehwere along the tournament, if Isaac coaches both teams.

When the then CCL was a post NCAA/UAAP season exhibiton league, the top four teams of the NCAA and UAAP were automatically seeded in the round of 16. With the entry of FEU in the current PCCL, the wisdom of the organizers to seed the top Manila teams in the past seems to hold true today.

@dizzyroar

Yup Peace man, pero hangat may nagyayabang kac na tulad ni JCRajah mas maraming misunderstanding na mangyayari sa thread na ito. If i concluded that UAAP is the best, its a reply to him. Anyways i am aware of the History of NCAA at UAAP at alam ko n galing nga ng NCAA ang mga teams na binangit mo, kaya nga number 1 na ang UAAP dahil wala na dun sa NCAA ang mga un ok?

At dun sa sinasabi mong 1 step ang Manila teams, abay dapat lang, kasi kung tatalunin sila ng ganun ganun lang ng mga provincial teams eh, nakakahiya kac an laki ng ginagastos ng alumni at school nyo sa mga coaches at players na sinasabi mo

I will still hope and Pray na nonUAAP at nonNCAA ang magchampion ngaun sa PCC, its a long shot pero bilog parin ang bola.

GO UV
GO USJR

this is a good development for collegiate basketball unlike previous type tournaments where some teams, especially manila universities and colleges do not take the games seriously. the qualifying games shows the intent to make it in the tournament. i hope the organizers sustain this vision so that we truly determine the best college basketball team in the country.

*Manila Based Team are a lot advertised and trained by well known coaches in manila. They are considered to be the Favorites to occupy the elite 8 and final 4, especially the powerhouse La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda. They already have what it takes to take the Crown.

*Cebu Team are considered a full of surprised team. Coming from the latest success of UV last year as Runner-up,they still are dangerous this year. Though UV now is on there weakest line-up but still they are towered by the bigman Greg Slaughter and outside bomber like Von LaÃƒÂ±ete and Richard Dennison. One team that really played hard every game is the USJ-R team. They have an eye-cathing run and gun play and annoying team defence. I am really eyeing on the USJ-r team.

though we cannot deny the fact the manila team has d advantage in playing in a familiar environment, they are very strong team,but im eyeing on the USJ-R team. I just like to support underdog team..hehehe..^^

guys..were all filipino..let’s respect one another though we came through different schools and universities..we have one goal here..its the unity of all schools and universities through the game of basketball..if you have seen the game Letran – USJ-R it is really pretty entertaining game.. the Letran was surprised by the guards of USJ-R..they really have hard time coping up but lately through undying fighting spirit of the Letran Player and their veteran coach..they were able to cope up in d late 4th quarter run..and come up with a clutch basket that ended the game in favor of Letran..both of them deserve to be in Sweet 16.

@ Chronosphere,
“Lets face it guys, some of your players out there want to play here in Manila for the sake of Ã¢â‚¬Å“DISCOVERYÃ¢â‚¬Â. Well, the PCC maybe the key for that. HAHAHA, naka-tsamba lang na nakarating are UV sa championship last year, see ndi nga sila naka sabay sa laro ng UAAP champion Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles right?”

I agree to JcRarah25, even some of the players of the UAAP or NCAA are come from the south, they still represent the name of schools here in Manila. I saw some CESAFI games in the BTV, the teams in the CESAFI are absolutely no match in the Manila based school. They have no height and no very reliable people who can score.
Lets face it guys, some of your players out there want to play here in Manila for the sake of “DISCOVERY”. Well, the PCC maybe the key for that. HAHAHA, naka-tsamba lang na nakarating are UV sa championship last year, see ndi nga sila naka sabay sa laro ng UAAP champion Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles right?
Eh anu ngaun kung 7 time champion kayo sa CESAFI?

Yes, may be some of the players come from the south, but they represent the schools here in manila, what the point in that? and what the hell is bistak?, Anyways I dont understand what you saying out there, if its NCAA or UAAP they abosuletly the greatest colligiate basketball here in the Philippines. If you think its only basketball? Well, think again, its the brand of the legue we came from and the school that they represent.

Dont be over joy coz you almost defeat Letran. because all of you are still loosers

@Waray Diha

I understand your belief that UAAP schools are better and more competitive compared to their NCAA counterpart because if you’re not from a NCAA or UAAP institution,you’ll have a difficulty of understanding na publicity lang or marketing lang talaga lamang ang UAAP schools..

No doubt; Ateneo, San Beda, La Salle, Letran and UST will always be in the list ng pinaka-competitive na schools in the country in terms of basketball. Even they belong to different leagues, its not right to conclude that UAAP are better kasi there are teams sa UAAP na “no match” against the top teams of NCAA. And if you’re not familiar sa history, these 3 top UAAP schools once belongs to NCAA..

Let’s face it pre. Manila-based schools will always be once step ahead sa basketball kasi andito ang best coaches and schools to help them achieve the exposure and experience na kailangan ng bawat players. Ã¢ËœÂº

Good luck na lang Ã¢ËœÂº

Hey guys, don’t blow your guns, I come in peace.
I believe that Jhocson Univ. Bloodhounds is just seeking justice and equality in choosing the delegates in the coming Bantay Bata UAAP – NCAA Showdown. The San Beda Red Lions send, I think, six players while their bridesmaids the JRU Team has only one. Letran and SSC-R has three, right? And that’s just….. not equal.
Concerning the coming Philippine Collegiate Championship, that’s a perfect venue for not just claiming a huge prize but revenge and respect, or vice-versa. And of course, “VALIDATION”. And according to Jhocson Univ. Bloodhounds, “VINDICATION”.
Peace.
