The Bad Guy: On the UST Growling Tigers’ struggles as a basketball program
Three years ago, a basketball fan base was forced to splash water on its face every morning, so they could look at the mirror and ask themselves, “Are we the bad guys?” After years of being the underdog, holding bonfires to celebrate singular wins, and writing books about second-place finishes, fans of this basketball team […]

Anuna, La Salle?
By Gio Gloria At the conclusion of round one of UAAP Season 85, it can be said that the DLSU Green Archers can be much better than their current win-loss record On paper, the Green Archers are more stacked and talented than perhaps everyone in the UAAP except the defending champions UP Fighting Maroons. That’s […]

Are the NU Bulldogs Legitimate Championship Contenders?
Six games into Season 85 and the UAAP has been quite the entertaining mess. For every team that’s performed way below expectations *cough* FEU *cough*, there are surprising heroes that have emerged beyond their preseason rankings. The team that’s best exemplified that has been the NU Bulldogs. Technically speaking, we probably shouldn’t have been *that* […]

The Lastimosa Trap
By: Toby Pavon It’s no secret, Jerom Lastimosa is THE GUY for the Adamson Soaring Falcons. He is a thorn on the side of every opponent Adamson faces, he is a walking bucket, he is their unanimous, unquestioned, undisputed, reigning, defending, go-to guy.

With 20 UAAP championships, the Tamaraws are the winningest Men’s Basketball program in UAAP […]

UP is Strong Because UP is Strong: Why You Should Trust the Fighting Maroons
I had some jokes to make after that required UP-Ateneo classic. Ateneo lost not because Ateneo lost. Ateneo lost because UP won. It’s a joke format that’s been repeated ad nauseam, and it’s probably growing tired already at this point. But allow me to use the format one more time. UP is strong not because […]

The Rewind: Just Another UAAP Weekday
By Eriko dela Cruz In a league where every university gets 14 games per season (more if you enter the Final Four), every day counts. However, Saturday and Sunday games usually get the most hype because a lot of people are in school or at work during the weekday games. This is usually the UAAP’s […]

On To The Next: This is just the beginning for the DLSU Green Archers
By Gio Gloria Five years is a long time, especially in a rivalry as storied as the DLSU Green Archers and the ADMU Blue Eagles. Within that span of time, the Blue Eagles pretty much had the Green Archers’ number despite their best efforts and talent, and the championships Ateneo won certainly rubbed salt on […]
