East Asia Super League

agree, for a college team, this is really an impressive win against a pro team. goldwyn and tab are implementing good systems and it's nice to see them beating teams overseas.

I hope next time,we see top Philippine colleges go to the US and have an exhibition against a Div3 and Div2 teams,just to gauge how mature the playing and coaching style.

La Salle and UP have beaten D2-level Vanguard University (NAIA D1) before in Taiwan so as far as levels go, they're evenly matched. Basketball is basketball. If you search BLIA Cup and find out how they performed against similarly-aged teams (yeah but they got players who played five years in college that should have turned pro after one), they're not as bad as we think. Everyone has an African student in the paint and knows how to use them better than a prototype PBA import.

For all I care, let those KBL/B.League teams poach everyone wasting their time in college. I wanna see the PBA burn with how they treat 24-year old players like children and stop this stupid notion that "they're students first" and have a debt of gratitude to their college programs with or without a college degree.

NAIA D1 teams usually gets promoted to D2 like our local California State University San Marcos,most NAIA teams are more similar to D3 schools.

Look at how far up had become from a team who cant win a single uaap game..

what i noticed with NAIA & D3 teams is that they often have 6'6-6'7" centers. they wouldn't be far from our local teams height-wise

hmm no.. the home and away thing should earn them more money, it would be like the old easl tournament once again round robin and playoff format) imagine lost revenue of the 12 games that cant be played upon..

Will the other leagues agree, though?

The issue is that by the time the EASL season starts, the other leagues' countries have just started easing their COVID19 restrictions. In Japan, it's 7 days mandatory quarantine. In Taiwan, it's 3 days. In HK (still following China's zero tolerance policy), they require a 14-day stay with at least a 7-day quarantine. No team in their right mind will waste their players' and staffs' time like Kai Sotto wasted his G-League Ignite stint lifting weights in a hotel room for 2 weeks, training at Calamba with Gilas for 2 days, then doing quarantine again in the States even when he wasn't allowed in the bubble. Here and Korea, it's just face mandatory face masks and the usual vaccine card/RT-PCR test within 24 hours. I personally would have preferred the KBL to butt-in and say they're willing to host EASL games as well... but then again, they have more games in the KBL than the PBA and wouldn't wanna change their schedule as much as the PBA has had to change theirs.

Gumana yung pa-chicks nila Al Francis at Al Panlilio when the EASL went here.

Mukhang hindi they moving to Japan with taht ugly format..

Honestly, I find this championship week that EASL came up with as a bit meh (it will not even complete a single-round robin) and should have been a little longer by modelling it after the FIBA continental cup tournament format and its duration, perhaps at least 10 days.
