It's UAAP Basketball once again!!!!



College Basketball has always been exciting.

And its the start of the new season of the UAAP ( University Athletic Association of the Philippines )once again. Expect all the eight teams to give out their best to win the country's most prestigious collegiate basketball title.

And for this year, here are my choice teams who will make it to the Final Four.

De La Salle University Green Archers. No doubt about it, DLSU Green Archers have always been in the Final Four except in 2006, where they were banned from the league, but came back with a vengeance last year bagging the title against the unbeaten UE Red Warriors.

Ateneo De Manila University Blue Eagles.Barely making it to the Finals last year but lost to the eventual Champion DLSU Green Archers, expect the Eagles to soar this year. It will also mark Chris Tiu's final year and I am sure he wants to end it with a title.

Far Eastern University Tamaraws. Although they nearly make it to the Final Four last year with a bunch of Rookies and Sophomore, I believe that this team have already mature and are ready for the big time. Watch out for the 1-2 punch of Mac Baracael and JR Cawaling.

University of the East Red Warriors. Sweeping the elimination round last year but winless in the Finals, the Warriors are raring for a shot once again. Although they are no longer the same team last year with the departure of Mark Borboran and Kelvin Gregorio, still the team remains a potent threat with Elmer Espiritu, Marcy Arellano,Hans Thiele and James Martinez around.

Dark Horse is the University of Santo Tomas Tigers. This team have become unpredictable for the last two years,thanks to main man Jervy Cruz.

It's war in the basketball court.

Very first Blog.....FEU loss





Welcome !!!! To my very first journal about the movies that I’ll recommend, song that I’m listening to right now, games that I’m playing, some notable cool gadgets, my views about today’s basketball, Cool toys to be collected or as a gift.


I just witnesses the end of the season for the FEU Tamaraws in Season 70 of the UAAP. Failing to advance to the next level.It was a heartbreaking loss for the Tamaraws knowing that they have beaten the UST Tigers twice in the elimination. But needless to say, I am very proud of these young FEU Tamaraws. They'll be a force to reckon in the coming UAAP season. They are just a bunch of rookies and sophomores with only Marlon Adolfo and Benedict Fernandez the most veteran being part of the Arwind Santos led 2005 UAAP champions.


Mac Baracael, FEU's Main Man, shed to tears after the game. I mean, almost the guys cried, showing their emotions after the game. J.R. Cawaling, Reil Cervantes, Paul Sanga, Mark Barroca, Sandy Abarring, Aldrick Ramos, guards Knuttel, Alisbo and Cabagnot these are the guys to watch out in next year UAAP wars. They'll be mature by then. Remember 2002, Arwind Santos, Mark Isip, RJ Rizada and Dennis Miranda rookie year. They almost made it to the Final Four that year. But come 2003, they've swept the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the Finals. I believe that these squad will also do the same feat.


Although the UST Tigers beat the FEU Tamaraws, I dont think that they'll be able to pass thru Ateneo or De La Salle. And among these three teams, I dont think they all stand a chance against the UE Red Warriors of coach Dindo Pumaren, which I believe will be this year Champions. Sweeping the elimination is no big deal.


As for FEU Tamaraws, there is next year to take the Championship.
