    UAAP Season 85 Season Preview: The Rebuilding UST and UE programs

    Rebuilding phases are always painful and grueling, and sadly, UST and UE have been in that phase for a while now.

    UP-Ateneo Game 3 was Cinema

    By Karlo Lovenia cin·e·ma /ˈsinəmə/ the production of movies as an art or industry. UAAP basketball tends to be more abstract art rather than aesthetic masterpiece. It’s to be expected.
