UAAP Season 74 (2011)

[Jumperman]

---

As for UE, my honest assessment is that they look more like an intramural team than a varsity squad. To be fair, their players are all young, there's no one left from the previous years' squads to bridge the gap and teach the rookies how to play the right way. Zamar and Tagarda are only role players, they can't be counted on to lead. JM Noble looks like he can be a good player, but right now he's too raw. There's a real possibility the Pulang Mandirigma will go winless this season, a total turnaround from their 14-0 slate in 2007.

FEU is talented but they lack heart. They look like they feel that their talent is enough and don't want to get down and dirty (with the exception maybe of Chris Exciminiano). There are times when they show it (like that instance when Foronda chased down the ball, slid on the floor and saved the possession), but if they hope to deny Ateneo a 4-peat they should always play with that kind of fire. Adamson, with the limited talent they have, plays with more urgency and as a result they are playing better basketball than the Tams. Those 2 squads are the ones with the best chance to pull off an upset. JR Cawaling is the key. Every time he plays well, the Tams win. Admittedly it still is early in the season, but the sooner they realize that they just can't flip on the switch when they feel like it, the better their chances of winning.

(Oh and BTW, I now agree that Chris Tolomia is pretty good. He even had a hang time move where he cocked the ball on his shoulder for like a few seconds before tossing it into the hoop. Another revelation was Fabiana, the FEU version of JJ Barea with maybe even better ball-handling. Cebuano Roger Pogoy also made the most of his time on the court and scored 5 points on drives and a freethrow.)

Bobby Parks showed his talent yesterday but the Blue Eagles are too much., considering super star rookies Slaughter and Ravena plus veteran Blue Eagles players are doing great..

Did you watch the game?

2/3s of Ray Ray's points came during garbage time. When he was playing against the 3rd stringers.

He only had 3-4 pts playing against Long and Austria. I know Long is a good defender, but RayRay is not that head and shoulders above the other scorers in the UAAP. If they had the same green light he has, stats would be very close.

I do expect RayRay to come out firing the next game. He has to keep his basketball value up. He is still sought after even in the US. Just think even if he plays 2 years here. He can redshirt one year, then play 2 more for any US NCAA team.

I am not only talking about the ADMU game, I am also referring with their previous game. Ray-ray Parks is a high percentage scorer if NU has players that can compete with Long, Salva, Erram, Monfort and now Ravena and Slaughter I bet it will be a close match-up, but for now NU bench players needs to step up to backup Parks cause right now I can only see Emb.

and Yes. I watched it on Live Streaming since I am in the office.
