UAAP volleyball: Tigers maintain unblemished slate
Three-peat-seeking University of Santo Tomas ripped Adamson University, 25-13, 25-13, 23-25, 25-16, to nail its second straight win in the 72nd UAAP volleyball tournament Wednesday at the Blue Eagle Gym.

John Paul Torres scored 15 hits and two blocks while Henry Pecana and Jayson Ramos chipped in 14 and 13 points, respectively, as the Tigers extended their winning streak to 20 games overall dating back to Game 3 of the 2007 finals.

After that title-clincher two years ago, the España-based spikers scored an unprecedented 17-game sweep to make it back-to-back last year and then...

Manila - UAAP member-schools clash on the hardcourt anew as they vie for top honors in the Milo 3-on-3 Warrior Championship starting today (Tuesday) at the Ateneo Blue Eagle gym.

A look Back on Season 72 Basketball
AROUND THE LEAGUE
By Sid Ventura

Now that Ateneo has wrapped up its double back-to-back feat in the seniors and juniors division and Adamson has regained the women’s crown, let’s take a look again at the top 5 stories of UAAP basketball in Season 72.

5. Oh Romeo, my Romeo. On August 18, 2009, FEU-FERN’s Terrence Romeo singlehandedly outscored the entire UPIS team, 83-55, to lead the Baby Tams to a 49-point win. The flashy guard set a record of sorts by scoring all of his team’s 33 points in the third period. (Seriously, he really did that.) Later, he said he could have...

Love for the game
By Tessa Jazmines (Business Mirror)

MY esteemed BusinessMirror colleague Rick Olivares blogged a beautiful piece on the reign of the Blue Eagles in the collegiate league in the ’80s recently. He called it “The Last Great Blue Dynasty, Part 1.” (You can read all about it at http://networkedblogs.com/p14433708.)

I remember ‘em days, I told him. Because I was a true-blue Eagle fan.

“That was an incredible time for basketball with none of this showbiz crap that follows the teams nowadays,” he answered....

Remembering the Old Days
By Paolo S. Mariano (uaapsports.com)

Back in 1987, Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and University of the East (UE) figured in the UAAP Finals for the first time. ADMU was in its ninth year in the league and had yet to win a UAAP title. UE, on the other hand, was in its 35th season and has already won a league-record 18 titles.

Last Thursday, in Game 3 of this season’s UAAP Finals between Ateneo and UE, two players from the 1987 championship game, Danny Francisco and Boysie Zamar, met each other on the court again after 22 long years. But this time around, they were not...

08 October 2009 08:22 PM

Manila – In the end, it was Ateneo’s discipline that pulled trough.

The Blue Eagles executed their game plan to the letter to post a 71-58 victory over University of the East Red Warriors in Game Three and run away with the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball crown on Thursday.

The Blue Eagles outrebounded, outshustled and outsmarted the Warriors in the deciding game before 18, 851 paying fans at the Araneta Coliseum.

Ateneo pulls off repeat 'double'
MANILA, Philippines - Ateneo soared high on two fronts – the Blue Eagles dominating the University of the East Warriors and the Eaglets showing championship poise against the La Salle-Zobel Junior Archers – to complete a UAAP title repeat yesterday at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Eagles bounced back from an embarrassing Game Two loss as they turned an expected showdown into a ghastly rout by hammering an outclassed Warriors side with impeccable shooting in Game Three of the men’s basketball finals for a 71-58 romp before 18,851 fans.

Moment of Truth
By Alder T. Almo (uaapsports.com)

Manila – Two teams with contrasting styles eye a piece of history when the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball Finals end today in a fitting climax.

For one last time, the defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles and the University of the East Red Warriors meet at 3:30 p.m. today for all the marbles at the historic Araneta Coliseum .

The Eagles are looking to repeat as champions to become only the second Ateneo team in UAAP history to win back-to-back. The championship-starved Warriors, on the other hand, want to end a 24-year title drought.

Ateneo de Manila tries to recover from an embarrassing Game 2 meltdown when it takes on University of the East this Thursday for the 72nd UAAP basketball championship at the Araneta Coliseum.

Black undaunted by Warriors' surge
By Joey Villar (The Philippine Star)

Norman Black

MANILA, Philippines - Losing by a rout in a game it was fancied to win is no big deal for Ateneo coach Norman Black, who remains confident of the Eagles’ title retention bid in the UAAP men’s basketball tournament.

“It’s just one game,” said Black, referring to Ateneo’s 68-88 loss to University of the East last Sunday that sent the UAAP title series into a winner-take-all match.

It was Black’s worst defeat since absorbing...

Warriors grab momentum
Ateneo was supposed to march effortlessly to its second straight championship Sunday. Instead, the Blue Eagles appear to be on the ropes, their confidence shaken and their title hopes hanging by a thread.

This was after the University of the East Red Warriors, a team that was considered just a blip in Ateneo’s expected march to the crown, put on a grandiose performance Sunday that shocked even the unflappable Norman Black.

UE’s win, an 88-68 shellacking of the Blue Eagles, silenced the boisterous Ateneo crowd and handed the Red Warriors the momentum in the third game of their...

MANILA, Philippines - University of the East churned out a near-flawless game – a combination of its vaunted run-and-gun offense and a stifling defense – to shock Ateneo, 88-68, yesterday and force a winner-take-all match for this year’s UAAP men’s basketball crown at the packed Araneta Coliseum.

Blue Eagles move a win away from back-to-back UAAP crown
Streaking Ateneo turned to Rabeh Al-Hussaini's clutch shooting to nip University of the East at the start of the UAAP best-of-three title series, 78-71, and move a win away from winning back-to-back titles.

Al-Hussaini muscled his way to 28 big points, including six in the crucial stretch of the payoff period that gave the Blue Eagles a 75-68 cushion entering the final 1:02.

The 6-foot-6 Al-Hussani added 14 rebounds and two assists for Ateneo, which will gun for the crown on Sunday in Game 2.

Eagles rusty? Warriors are raring to pounce
BY CHRISTINE MONCADA (Malaya)

AFTER a 10-day layoff, Ateneo plunges into action anew today, staking its title against University of the East in Game 1 of their best-of-three battle for the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball championship at the Araneta Coliseum.

Living up to expectations, the Blue Eagles whipped University of Santo Tomas 81-64 last Sept. 20 in their Final Four showdown and secured the first finals berth, in the process gaining a 10-day reprieve and raising questions whether they will go into the title showdown rusty.

Old teammates headline UAAP Finals

Four years ago, Eric Salamat and Paul Lee shared the same court triumphantly celebrating a championship they’ve just won together.

That was in 2005 when the San Sebastian Staglets swept the San Beda Red Cubs for the NCAA Juniors’ basketball crown. Lee was a member of the Mythical Team while Salamat eventually won the Finals MVP.

Fast forward to 2009.

On Sunday, Salamat and Lee would share the same court again in the Finals. But this time, however, the two former teammates will clash as Salamat’s team,the defending...

More than just the championship, a lot with far greater significance are at stake in the coming Finals series between the University of the East Red Warriors and the defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles.

The Warriors will be trying to hit not only two but three birds in one stone beginning on Thursday.

First, the Warriors are just two games away from ending an almost 24-year title drought. Second, a 19th title will tie them with their Final Four victim Far Eastern University Tamaraws for the most number of men’s basketball championships....

UAAP Finals: Flood vs the tide
THE GAME OF MY LIFE By Bill Velasco

The calamity that has struck National Capital Region has pushed back all major sporting events for the more urgent needs of our affected countrymen. But no typhoon is going to dampen the fires stoked for the UAAP Finals, what with so many great stories blooming.

Historically, UE has so many ghosts to banish, many of them at the hands of Ateneo. In 1987, the Red Warriors, with defensive great and national team member Jerry Codiñera in his last season, were defeated by the Blue Eagles, whose guard corps included Jun Reyes and back-up Olsen...
