NCAA opening na naman pala this Saturday. Going for 6-peat na San Beda. Mukhang mahirap pa rin tapatan. Pero I'd like to see other schools challenging my alma mater para naman may konting thrill.

You got your wish the_works. Letran Knights just handed the Lions its first loss in the elims.

Letran has a new manager in Pacman. Although he wasn't there during the game but Buboy Fernandez.

I mean, sa Finals. Wala din si Amer. Delikado Red Lions nito. Out for a few months daw coz of dislocated shoulder.

FEU putting the hurt on ADMU, with their vets leading the way ....... Tolomia, Pogoy, Belo, etc playing the way vets should - matigas at walang kaba sa kilos.

ADMU playing just as hard, but it's only Ravena on the offensive end.

Montinola should have a big smile on his face now ...... panalo ang FEU at si Pingoy nagkalat.

FEU is tough to beat when they play the way they did today.

Ateneo coach Bo Perasol sees a team going nowhere after disjointed performance in UAAP opener

Read more at http://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap/news/bo-perasol-ateneo-blue-eagles-blowout-loss-feu-tamaraws-uaap-season-78#brP7x1LMFyIHBADs.99

Ateneo has gone nowhere since Bo Perasol took over. When you go into a game with the mindset of only finding out how you would fare against the perceived team-to-beat, that is basically the same as thinking you have no chance of winning. Tama ba namang ganyan ang mindset na ituro ng isang coach sa kanyang mga manlalaro? Tama na. Sobra na. Palitan na.

FEU's game looked very mature in yesterday's match.

Ravena is such a crafty scorer, hoping to see him in Gilas uniform in the future

ANg laki ng hinina ng NU.. siguro give Ateneo a couple of games to gel, puro rookies kaya may nerbyos pa.. but that FEU team, very impressive..

Superman · « **Reply #822 on:** Sep 07, 2015 at 09:40 AM »

FEU is the team to beat this year!

Hands down Kiefer is one of the best, if not the best collegiate player today. I feel the Ateneo's line-up is competitive but the coach has a different philiosophy which seems is not a match to the team.

My fearless forecast for the Final Four:

FEU
ADMU
DLSU
UST

There's a bit of commotion over at the Atenista fb group about this. Many alumni want him out asap while recent members of past UAAP champion teams are asking for sobriety.

I've been the harshest critic of Bo Perasol in these threads for sometime now ....... calling by him by his long-standing PBA monicker, Bobo Perasol, more than a few times.

But to be fair to him and ADMU last game, FEU was shooting lights out from wire to wire. ADMU gave effort and was scrambling due to FEU's great ball movement and shooting. Hard to stop a team shooting like that.

Perasol did get ADMU to the top seed last season, best to ride him out. A couple of wins against the low tiered teams will silence that alumni crowd. Best to replace in the offseason.

This is the UAAP, where before the first game is even played, one can tell right away who'll be the bottom three and the top five teams. In many cases, you'll know right away who'll make the final four ex.team filled wih vets and/or bluechip rookies

It's a great league but parity has long been a problem, moreso the past decade with the way recruitment is done by these tycoons.

2-0 na UP. Mukhang their playing good bball this season. have not watched the game though. but a win is a win. lalo na against DLSU.

FEU did shot the lights out of the Araneta that game. I became an instant admirer of Pogoy, Tolomia and Belo, in this afternoons game though, Pogoy and Tolomia seems to be not what they were the first game.

Pinggoy is out of sync though I recalled him to be like a scoring machine nung high school kaya lang tanda ko buwaya eh. may isang player dati sa feu na kasama ni pinggoy na mas bumilib ako, yung matindi din ang shooting, sino na nga yun at nasan na sya?

by the way yung gwyne capacio anak ni glen? mukhang matindi din yung player na yun.

During his first year as coach, some of my friends have been calling for his head. I tried to believe in him that he would evolve and adapt unfortunately, he has not. He still keeps on running the same plays over and over again. Which worked last year in the elimination round when Ravena just took over and elevated his game play. But come the final four, every figured out how to stop Ateneo. NU just kicked ateneo out of the final four with one simple plan. Stop Ravena. But Bo being the stubborn ox that he is keeps using ISO plays for kiefer and paid dearly in the final four showdown with NU. No variations on screens, flares, etc. for the other players. He just wants to run ISO all day long and it's only two players on the team that could create their own shots.. Kiefer and Chris Newsome.

Last sunday, i watched lived and it was painful to look at the match not because of the points. I can accept defeat but not that way. It was like watching a barangay level team competing against a well coached UAAP team / PBA team (dare i say..). You see the quick reaction of FEU to whatever "defense" ateneo threw at them. Did a zone, broke it down with a dribble drive and kick out to perimeter players. Man to Man D, quickly beat their defenders with mismatches. On the offensive end... stale as ever. the ball stays long with the ball handler and at the last 10 secs. that's when they panic and swing to it to kiefer when he's on the floor and pray he makes a shot.

The only way for ateneo to win is by defense. force turnovers and score on the transition. If it's half court sets, then we're good as gone. Unfortunately, we ain't that fast to keep attacking the basket and score in transition.

Also, what I can't figure out is his system for replacing a player on court. You've got some players making 1 mistake and they get replaced away. You've got some other players making 2-4 mistakes and they haven't been replaced.

You can't do that as it makes players jittery and they can't build up the confidence / rhythm. Destroys their flow. This is not the professional league.

I have a lot more to say but might take me all night. Besides, i'm not a coach. just an armchair analyst. Just praying a miracle will happen.

UST coach just fired off a shot against Ateneo in today's game:-

Bong: walang depensa yung kalaban ng FEU last time...

But can't fault him. it was true. stupid coach of ours. He is only rivaled in this dept. by the coach of our rivals ironically. haha!

Unfortunately sir, his growth was stunted when he reached the seniors and he had the unfortunate timing of entering a squad with good wing men. Also, he had injuries that contributed to his stunted growth.

It's his last year playing for the blue and white. When he joined the seniors, i had high hopes for him but he couldn't get over this hump. He's a scoring machine in the juniors. It might be his breakout year this year but you'd still see him making simple mistakes. I hope it would be his swan song this year for the blue and white.

pardon my ignorance, I was thinking bago lang sya. I haven't been watching any basketball games be it nba, pba moreso college leagues simply because I have been frustrated with how smb and tnt are doing things and because ust has not done well for the longest time, it pains me to see that the days of ust when the like of udoy Belmonte( he is a friend and a classmate) was still playing were long gone, last Saturday I got interested para kaseng ang ganda nung laban ng ue at up then yung next game nanalo ang ust, was able to watch feu vs admu and was really amazed with the feu squad sabi ko ang dami ko na palang na miss.

in my little knowledge of the game, mukhang walang intensyon ang admu na pigilin yung mga tumitira sa kalaban, siguro kahit si ravena na lang sa offense basta masipag sila sa defense as a team baka iba ang naging resulta.

I told myself kaninang nanuod ako ilalampaso ng feu and ust pero nanalo ang ust though sa tingin ko mahihirapan pa din talaga sila dahil sa point guard nila pero at least malaking bagay na naipanalo nila ang close game, dati di ba laging nag collapse yan sa dulo?

last year na ni ravena ngayon di ba? meron kayang papalit sa kanya? when I saw pessumal naala ko ito yung shooter dati pero parang di rin ganun ang impact sa game nila.

one thing sure mukhang ma hook na ulit ako sa uaap., salamat sa enlightenment sir about capacio

ISO plays, slow in game adjustments, etc ...... that's Bo Perasol alright.

If its any consolation brader, Perasol is mich better now in the UAAP than he was in the PBA.

Some of Perasol's PBA miscues - spending high picks on known scrubs such as Marvin Cruz, Jai Reyes (the transaction on this one deserves its own article), Chris Ross (back when Ross was all hype), giving up on Ross after 2 conf for a very old Paolo Mendoza.

Like I said, best to ride him out ...... moreso its Ravena's swan song. Wins against UP, UE, ADU, etc might start them rolling.
