Mga laro ngayong araw (Sabado) (Smart Araneta Coliseum)

8 a.m. – UE vs FEU-D (16U)

10 a.m. – UST vs Ateneo (16U)

12 noon – AdU vs UPIS (16U)

3 p.m. – NU vs UE (Men)

5:30 p.m. – Ateneo vs UP (Men)


Nakahandang magkasubukan sa bakbakan ng “Battle of Katipunan ang Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles at University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons para pag-agawan ang maagang bentahe sa liderato, habang kapwa iiwas ang National University Bulldogs at University of the East Warriors na malubog sa ikalawang sunod na pagkatalo sa pagpapatuloy ng UAAP Season 89 collegiate men's basketball tournament ngayong araw sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.


Bagaman nagtapos na ang kabanata ng binansagang “Maroon 5” para sa Fighting Maroons, ipinapakita pa ring ng four-time league champions na kaya pang makipagtagisan para sa kampeonato ng koponan matapos kakitaan ng matatag na samahan kasunod ng ipinamalas nina Nigerian Francis Nnoruka at Noy Remogat para makakuha ng 92-85 panalo kontra University of Santo Tomas nitong nagdaang Linggo.


"The whole year, lahat naman nagta-trabaho. I believe this group din has its own identity din as a team," pahayag ni UP head coach Goldwin Monteverde sa nakatakdang main game sa alas-5:30 ng hapon, matapos ang laro ng NU at UE sa alas-3:00 ng hapon.


"Yung experience na na-gain nila every game really matters. They’ve been together for a lot of games. So far, while the team’s working together, nadedevelop na nila yung chemistry. At the same time, everybody’s really committed to really working and improving.”


Nasilayan rin para sa UP ang pagpasok nina Veejay Pre, James Payosing, Rain Maga at Arvie Poyos, na nag-ambag ng kabuuang 28 puntos, habang nananatiling matatag ang mga kontribusyon nina Gani Stevens, Jacob Bayla, Sean Alter, Chicco Briones, at sharp shooter Miguel Yniguez.


Nakatuon naman ang atensyon ng Ateneo sa pag-aalay ng kanilang mga laro sa mga namayapang kakampi na sina Rene Baterbonia at Divine Adili, kasunod ng impresibong debut ni Kiefer Alas sa 24 puntos at apat rebounds kontra UE Red Warriors sa dominanteng 101-74 nitong Miyerkules, habang katuwang sina Jared Bahay, Grayson Rogers, Andrew Bongo, Mike Asoro at Shawn Tuano.


"Honestly, just probably staying the course. Just have to stay consistent talaga. Just not only thinking about what we can do individually, but it’s also more about what we can do to reach our goals. First the Final Four, then the next, then the next," wika ni Alas.
