All UP alumni should unite and provide support the way Ateneo and La Salle alumni does for their alma mater.
Dapat siguro laging may supply ng free tickets. LOL.
Go Mikee “The Answer” Reyes!
what a game! the team is maturing; they now have the intestinal fortitude to keep their heads under pressure. fantastic! the season is definitely not over for the fighting maroons. let’s go UP; let’s go!
Congrats,UP Maroons! I hope we make it to the final four.
this was the best live basketball game ive seen! just keep the focus! its the key! let’s go UP!
I just remember the time when someone is complaining due to the absence of supporters and the PEP squad. I read back and she mentioned that the team needs to prove their selves and people will come back. Then someone gave a “litanya” (LOL, it really gave me a laugh again). Well after watching this game, i think you will agree that she was correct. After some “better” games from the team (even in defeat) the people are really coming back to watch the team. At the end of the day, this is still basketball that is a fan based sport. :p
I would just like to applaud Coach Aboy for starting to use Mikee Reyes more and less of Barsaga. Nothing against the captain ball but the kid plays better and makes better decisions. We got good rookies in Padilla and Mikee, finally some developing slashers that can free up the three point shooters. I just wish that we can have a big man, kahit na foreigner basta matangkad! IO think that can turn the team to a final four level team unless other teams can fix their problems as well.
Nice game guys!
Tony A,
You know I disagree with some things you said but to each his own :p
UP Fight pa rin!

Hahaha… **wink** **wink** I am just a basketball fan that is voicing my opinions based on what I see on different basketball courts.
@Tony A
of course. Gawd, I hope they win on Saturday. That would be the perfect gift. :p
I was not able to finish the entire game on TV. I left after the first half was over.. and was very happy about the performance and how UP plays the ball. Better ball movement, better player movements. Mikee rocks! Lopez is a gifted athlete, I just wish he could run the ball more on transition and attack the basket more.
Glad to know they did beat La Salle. But it’s just a bonus.. On TV, UP is definitely a better team.. I hope they could continue these improvements.
U ni bersidad.. ng Pi li pinas.. U!!!
