Just like the 2021 championship up plays at best when we are the underdogs...ateneo team.was deep but not as talented as up.. BUT.. player 1 to 16 of ateneo knew their role and they excel onnwhat they do best( example andrade and asistio shooting, mamu defense), players cover up on theie weakness ( kouame to isaac) as for UP...you see anton eusebio rot on the bench, rc calimag rot on bench.. what you need is game changers.. Lucero didnt play when the blue and maroon last met. Lopez may underachieved compare to kq but lopez possess what kq doesnt have ( natural first step, athleticism and lateral quickness)..

Ryan Alba was with bw pala, so he was able to convince dioceldo to stick with george king? Or change the identity of the team to a defensive one because they have the 2 best shot creators innthe league ( kung and barefield)To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

If Lopez had the right mentality, he should be practicing free throws right now. He should dribble first before shooting the free throws to calm himself down. The moment he gets the ball from the ref he immediately shoots. The UP guards should set up QMB properly. He was underutilized last game. And the UP guards should just accept the fact that they are not three-point shooters and go hard inside.sigpic

ADMU had a roster with 16/16 making it pro. Season 82 iirc only Jolo Mendoza , Daves and Verano not be able to become consistent starters in the pro’s. Daves and Verano are in the rotation as well. Of that team only Wong is not playing but he basically retired instead of gettin cut.
That team would probably beat both UP and Dlsu 2-0

That Carl is arguably equal or better than KQ with a far superior supporting cast.

Admu had future gilas guys and pba all stars riding the bench. Aaron Black couldn’t get minutes and when we would have runs back then he was the best player on the floor and that had pro guys.
If you consider MPBL to be pro that’s fine but guys like Torres, Felicilda, Fortea wouldn’t be getting minutes. They really don’t have a position better than admu.
Guards,
Wings/Forwards

Denzil Walker included? I doubt.
A 16-0 team is much better than this UP team. Even Ateneo’s second five in that squad will beat UP’s second five handily.
First five
5 - Kouame vs QMB
4 - Navarro vs. Lopez
3 - Ravena vs Alarcon
2 - Wong vs Abadiano
1 - Nieto vs Cagulangan
Then coming off the bench
5 - Go vs Stevens/Udodo
4 - Verano/Nieto/Daves vs Torculas/Belmonte/Briones
3/2 - Tio/Mendoza/Asistio/Mamuyac/Black vs Fortea/Bayla/Torres
1 - Belangel vs Felicilda
