As the UAAP post season fast approaching, four teams emerged to the top of the standings. The Final Four. As expected, the Ateneo Blue Eagles led by the reigning UAAP MVP Rabbeh Al-Hussaini emerge as the number one seed on top of all teams. Followed by the Far Eastern University Tamaraws leb by the one-two punch combo of Smart-Gilas RP Team members Mark Andy Barroca and JR Cawaling for solo second. Meanwhile, the University of the East Red Warriors led by veteran players compose of High Flying Elmer Espiritu and Philippine Basketball League MVP Paul Lee were on third spot. Lastly at fourth place the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers that Led by UAAP Season 72 MVP Dylan Ababou.
On my view as a former player myself, This year’s Final Four can go down into two conclusion. It could be a Domination of both no.1 and no.2 seed which is Ateneo and FEU or it could be an Upset in favor of both UE and UST.
I know many people would say that Ateneo Blue Eagles is too much powerful over UST Growling Tigers but hey, this UST squad is a team that has a “Never Say Die” attitude. Remember in year 2006 when UST upsets Ateneo in their best of 3 Finals series?. This can happen again this year if Ateneo play UST lightly. Not to mention of their coach Pido Jarencio that came from a “Never Say Die” attitude ball club the Ginebra Gin Kings during his time as a player.
On the other match-up, both teams can win on every match they’ll meet. Both of them are strong and experienced Team that composed of PBL Veterans like Padi Llagas of UE and Aldrich Ramos of FEU. But this match can go the favor of FEU because of the twice to beat advantage.
At the Championship Series, It can be a Team that Dominates and it can be a Team that can Upset Stunningly. after all, it’s been a great UAAP Season 72.
