This Four-Peat run of UE was made before the teams of UAAP was cut to 8 teams, it was in 1987 when the 8-team format started. In fact UE Red Warriors had the most number of consecutive championship with 7 straight titles and also the most number of Finals appearance with 16 straight season from 1957 to 1972.

Red Warriors and UST have the same number of UAAP men's basketball championships with 18, the second most wins in UAAP history behind the 19 titles of FEU.

Both teams are coming from a win, ADMU won over UST in their last outing while UE stunned DLSU.

UE showed a very strong team effort in their win over the Green Archers, they made more assists than LaSalle, where in fact Red Warriors are dead last in assists this season. That made a statement that even UE is in the bottom two right now, they can still play and compete against the teams that have higher rankings.

Blue Eagles as usual came up very strong against the Tigers, they left UST in the dust in the first quarter and never looked back, their Defense made them outstanding in their 9 wins. With the 1-2 combination of Ravena and Slaughter, Ateneo will be hard to stop this season.

Who wants it more?
