The collegiate basketball fever is not yet over. After the UAAP Season 72 basketball season ended early this month, here comes the NCAA Season 85 Finals. The NCAA Men’s basketball championship Game 1 will come your way this Thursday October 22, 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum. It will be a great and exciting NCAA Season 85 Finals as two schools from the University Belt in Manila comprises the cast, The San Beda Red Lions and the San Sebastian Stags.

Both of this teams that entered the NCAA Season 85 Finals came from tough games from the Final Four. The San Beda Red Lions defeated the Letran Knights in the final four although it was an easy win; I consider it as a tough game. Remember that the Letran Knights defeated San Beda Red Lions during the Eliminations. Meanwhile, the San Sebastian Stags won against JRU Heavy Bombers in Game 2 of their final four series, JRU won the 1st game to force the rubber match.

This NCAA Season 85 Finals will be so exciting so you should not miss to watch it live or in TV screens, why? This top 2 teams of this NCAA Season have their pride and spirit that not just gonna let down. The San Beda Red Lions seeking for fourth straight championship and not yet willing to hand over the crown specially to their neighbor school, the San Sebastian Stags who consider themselves as the hungrier team for this is their comeback to the championship scene since 2002.

The San Beda Red Lions considered as the most dominant team in this decade for winning the NCAA Championship three straight times from 2006-2008 will be led by their veterans Borgie Hermida, Bam Gamalinda with the support of their sophomore Garvo Lanete and import Superman Sudan Daniels.

Meanwhile, the San Sebastian Stags the most dominant and the winningest team in the NCAA in the last 15 years will be led by their own veteran Jimbo Aquino with back-ups Calvin Abueva and Ian Sanggalang.

MY PREDICTION: If the San Sebastian Stags pull off Game 1, then they will have a good CHANCE to continue and win this NCAA Season 85 Finals but if San Beda Red Lions won Game 1 then I’ll go for San Beda all the way without a doubt. Statistically speaking, most of teams that won game 1 in any best of three series mostly won.

It’s been a great, long and exciting NCAA Season 85.
