SEPTEMBER 21, 2008. Well, I’m not going to dwell on Philippine History (the date of course will always live in infamy for those who were up and about in 1972). Rather, I’ll be enjoying the UAAP finals from halfway around the world via TFC and …
AFTER receiving crisp jabs from columnists and sportswriters alike during the week, De La Salle University head coach Franz Pumaren focused on sweeping Far Eastern University and succeeded.
After two hard-fought games against the Tamaraws, Pumaren and his defending champion Green Archers are returning to the …

The reigning champions squandered a sizeable lead in the fourth quarter but managed to hang on in the remaining minutes to clinch the no. …
LET ME start by welcoming Sid Ventura and his Athletic Mind column to the inboundpass.com family.
This is for the teams that didn’t make the cut: You have lots of time to work on your adjustments for Season 72…unless your team is lucky enough to get …
YOU DON’T win second place; you lose first.
If the UAAP could adopt a theme for this year’s Final Four, that could more than make the grade. All four squads are capable of making a run at the title, despite Ateneo de Manila’s dominance in the …
FAR EASTERN University’s destiny isn’t in its own hands anymore.
The University of the East Red Warriors handed the Tamaraws a 73-61 defeat and in the process gave De La Salle the outright chance to steal the twice-to-beat advantage in the 71st UAAP men’s basketball …
WITH JUST a game remaining in each team’s calendar, the only interesting thing to watch for is who’ll get the second twice-to-beat advantage. We now know who the Final Four teams are and the match ups as well.
The Ateneo-UE matchup will be very interesting to …
FOR 43 minutes, De La Salle’s chances of securing a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four were nearly put in jeopardy.
But, like they say, champions always find ways to win, and the Green Archers showed just that to a determined Adamson University quintet as they …
THE bumpiest part of the road to the Final Four is usually found on its blind side.
Far Eastern University learned this the hard way after barely escaping the already-eliminated University of the Philippines, 71-70, in the 71st UAAP men’s basketball tournament last August 30, 2008 …
WITH two games remaining in each team’s calendar, the Final Four cast is pretty much set with only the fourth spot still to be disputed (though UE has a better inside track). Ateneo, FEU and La Salle are safe with only the top two …
MAC is back.
Barely five weeks after a shooting incident that almost claimed his life, Mac Baracael returned to the Far Eastern University lineup and inspired his squad to an emotional 64-60 win over the National University Bulldogs in the 71st UAAP men’s basketball …
IT’S BEEN two weeks since I wrote my article on the Commissioner Almighty (”A Callous Commissioner”) and the only changes that I’ve seen so far are:
1. Former referee Boy Quisido (I finally remembered the name) is part of the technical committee and is now the …
FAR EASTERN University was in no mood to give De La Salle head coach Franz Pumaren a send-off party.
The Tamaraws got their second wind midway through the fourth period to outlast the Archers, 83-75, and strengthen their chances for the other twice-to-beat incentive for the …
THREE teams met their fate in Week 7 of Season 71: Ateneo, FEU and UST. For Ateneo and FEU, both teams made headway in the Final Four race, while UST is in danger of joining UP, NU and Adamson on the bus to an early …
FOR 30 MINUTES, all seemed bleak and gloomy for Far Eastern University.
