NU Bulldogs (4 - 3) def. DLSU Green Archers (3 - 4) 63 - 56 I have this feeling Ray Parks is deceiving us all.

Well, they should be.   Last year's MVP Race was really close, with Ray Ray Parks barely beating Karim Abdul for the award. This year's Race may end up being closer.   To start things off, I'll declare my personal top 5 candidates for the award.
