I’m very much amused – thrilled is the better term – that the UAAP title favorites are getting wake up calls.
So, the standings look like this: Ateneo, 3-1 win-loss card; NU, 3-1; UP 3-1 and DLSU 2-2; Adamson 2-2; UE 2-2; UST 1-3; and FEU 0-4. I thought FEU, which gave Ateneo, DLSU and UP a big scare before eventually suffering successive defeats including a loss to UE, was good enough to figure in the Final Four.UP’s armor as the reigning and defending titleholder has been pierced while building up – at the same time – the confidence of the Bulldogs which last won the championship trophy during the collegiate days of Troy Rosario and Glen Khobuntin seven years or so ago.
Even if the Fighting Maroons are the current titists, its unexpected defeat to NU dampened the former’s hope to retain its number one ranking.
