(Photo Credit: Marie Dobuyan, Tiebreaker Times) Adamson Soaring Falcons def. NU Bulldogs 83-76 Notable Players: Jerie Pingoy, Adamson (12 points, 5 assists, 6 steals):  Pingoy is starting to find his groove with Adamson, even managing to log more production compared to Robbie Manalang. It took a while. but it's a delight to watch Pingoy play this well after so long. Papi Sarr, Adamson (19 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals): Papi needs to continue to put up performances like these for Adamson to stay in the mix for the Final Four. He was solid, and he should build off this for upcoming games. Jerrick Ahanmisi, Adamson (13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists): HE'S ALIVE!!!!! Just getting to see Jerrick play this well should already be promising for Adamson supporters. It's no explosion by his standards, but he should get there soon. J-Jay Alejandro, NU (25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists): This was a great bounce-back performance from him shooting-wise after a sub-p...

UST Growling Tigers 88-81 Notable Players: Robbie Manalang, Adamson (19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals): After a bad performance versus Ateneo, Manalang bounced back with an all-around game against UST. He was solid, something Adamson will need as competition gets tougher throughout the season. Jerie Pingoy, Adamson (9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals): His shooting woes continue, but Pingoy was a pest on the defensive end versus the Growling Tigers. At the very least, Pingoy is able to do work on the other side of the court after a meh performance offensively. Jeepy Faundo, UST (21 points, 12 rebounds): Most UST fans don't treat Jeepy seriously. but he gave the community a reason to be excited after his performance versus Adamson. (That poster dunk by Tyrus Hill isn't going to help with the whole "Take Jeepy seriously" mission though - Ed)  Marvin Lee, UST (...

UST Growling Tigers (8 - 6) def. Ateneo Blue Eagles (7 - 7) 82 - 74 Hey, there's still him next year, right? (credits to uaapsports.studio23.tv)    Instead of going through the usual motions of recapping the games, I'll be doing a slight features article concerning Ateneo and UST.   When the final buzzer ended, I honestly wanted to cry. That was a painful loss for my Blue Eagles. Sure I support UST, but no matter what happens, Ateneo pa rin susuportahan ko. Yet, eventually I started to gather my feelings, and I thought, hey, I think teams should actually be worried of Ateneo next year. And, I also thought about it. NU, FEU and DLSU should be worried about UST come the Final Four. REAL WORRIED.

    The season starts in a couple of days, and teams are surely preparing hard for the grand chase to the Championship. The parity for the league this year is practically unheard of, with nearly every team being contenders not only for a Final Four spot, but also for the championship.       For my preview and predictions for each team, I will predict the team's standing (meaning the place that they will be in), and the different developments that I expect to see from the team as the season rolls on. I will also list down the key players for the team's run to the Final Four, and the players who we should watch out for developmental wise (rookies and bench players fall under this category).    Now, we'll be analyzing the much controversial FEU Tamaraws.
