UAAP Season 70 update...
the magical season of the University of the East Red Warriors comes to an end as well as their hopes and dreams of claiming another title in the Universities Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Mens Senior Basketball Competition after being defeated by a team that came back from a suspension due to a scandal involving an illegitimate player who played for this team for two seasons. The team that swept the best of three finals series is no other than the infamous De La Salle Green Archers (damn i really hate this team).
Although the Warriors swept the entire eliminations having won their 14 games still, it's wasn't really a factor as the more experienced La Salle team cruised their way to the championship. JV Casio, TY Tang and Rico Maierhoffer dictated the tempo and never let the Warriors, led by Mark Borboran, Marci Arellano and Elmer Espiritu to get their game going.
The first game was really a thriller when La Salle won with the help of a missed shot by Mark Borboran on a 3-point attempt on the closing seconds of the game. The second game showed the inexperience of the Warriors, committing too many turnovers and allowing La Salle to dominate the offensive boards. The Warriors came back to within 3 points but they couldn't get any closer than that missing several easy put backs by their big mens. Clearly the championship was for La Salle (i'm not going to tell how even magical the season of La Salle was because i really hate this team)
This season of the UAAP had it all, having a team winning 14-0 (UE) that led to the a step ladder format in the final four, having the most number of games for two teams to play against each other (5 games for Ateneo and De La Salle, Ateneo winning 3 games but losing the two most important)), having a team losing all their games (UP) that led to the termination of Joe Lipa, a player being suspended for 6 games that ended his career (Brian Illad of De La Salle) by throwing a punch to a UE player (Mark Fampulme), and another sibling war, after the Banal's (Koy of FEU and Joel of Ateneo) the Pumaren's (Dindo of UE and Franz of De La Salle) had their own.
I failed to watch the pre-game show of the UAAP so i missed the awarding of the Mythical Five and the MVP so i need to buy a newspaper tomorrow for the update. I missed it because i watched the fight of Manny Pacquiao (damn that Kapuso channel, they made sure that they'll earn so much for that fight!). Even though it's not a KO victory still, it's another reason for the Filipino people to celebrate (although i'm starting to hate Manny because of his arrogance).
