UAAP season 87

[live_evil]

Phillips is like a "mini-Mbala." Pray he gets local status for FIBA.

New MVP/Mythical 5/ROY unofficial rankings

KQ and Mike Phillips are 1 and 2. Cabanero overtakes Padrigao for the last Mythical 5 spot. Veejay Pre extending his lead over Jared Bahay.

Looks like Ex dlsu green archer Emman Galman has joined UST. He spent the last couple of years in limbo after reported moves to benilde and letran. Mostly spent the time playing for panalay games.

In the last game of the season, I wonder if UP will give the game away to UE if it means UE will be 4th seed in the Final Four. There's a scenario where this is possible.

With only two game days left, KQ can't be overtaken so he will be the back-to-back MVP unless he gets DQd for some reason. Mike, Konateh and JD are also sure things for the Mythical five (unless they get DQd for some reason also).

The last slot in the Mythical 5 is the only one up for grabs. I think Cabanero deserves it.

This guy is good. Very talented. I actually thought he was better than Austria as an off the dribble shot creator. It's just that sometimes he loses his focus and plays too passive. Thats why Pumaren had to yank him in most games and he never really got his spot back in the 2nd round after Austria proved to be more consistent.

That's why games still have to be played but simply, DLSU will be heavy favorites going into the Final Four. Will be a massive disappointment if they don't repeat this year.

With major additions like Stevens, Bayla, and QMB, UP remains the favorite on paper. They’ve brought in a D1-caliber, 6’10” player while keeping most of their main roster intact.

Meanwhile, DLSU has lost key players: their primary PGs (Nelle and Nonoy), a versatile forward (Policarpio), downgraded their FSA to Henry, and lost their sharpshooter, Escandor—nearly their entire rotation.

Until we see UP at full strength with Final Four intensity, I still have them as the favorites.

I really wanted Forthsky to get M5. He's suffered enough and I personally want something to go his way. Oh well, if it's not him at least it's his teammate.

Suffered enough? WTF

Anyway, he already was a Mythical Five member in his last year playing for Ateneo. I want Cabanero to be named as an awardee this time, as a reward for sticking it out with UST when he could have left last year or this year, to be honest.

I still have them as even, no one would be the favorite.

UP had major additions (though of the people you mentioned, only QMB is considered major to me), but they did lose an MVP in Malick Diouf and a clutch player in Cansino.

I am not counting Stevens as a major addition if you're not counting Agunanne as a major addition to DLSU. Both are in the same boat--- anticipated transferees who are underperforming.

I'll go by with what the ruling was in the trial. Frankly speaking, the authorities would know more than we do.

What we do know--- Padrigao knows he did something wrong, and he admitted it. I won't forever crucify him for actions he did in the past as people can change, but the "suffered enough" is too much considering what happened to him was largely his own doing.

OFF-TOPIC: QS already released their Asian Rankings. Here are the top 10 universities in the Philippines:

1. University of the Philippines (Rank 86)
2. Ateneo de Manila University (Rank 142)
3. De La Salle University (Rank 163)
4. University of Santo Tomas (Rank 181)
5. Adamson University (Rank 411-420)
6. University of San Carlos (Rank 481-490)
7. Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Rank 541 – 560)
8. Mapua University (Rank 561-580)
9. Silliman University (Rank 601-620)
10. Far Eastern University (Rank 681-700)

There are many things that our schools need to be done to compete against top schools overseas. One is research, two is more international students, third is allowing foreign educators to teach in our schools and, last, international partnerships and more research.

It's nice to see though that UAAP schools are not only good in sports but also in academics as well.

We also know that the trial is over, and he has served his punishment. It nearly cost him his livelihood—he was forced out of ADMU as an indirect result of the ordeal, and he continues to face fallout as his name is still dragged through the court of public opinion.

I think it's more than enough suffering especially for something we are just speculating on.
