Championship run
(1969-70, 1971-72, 1972-73, 1974-75)

This was led by the legendary coach Baby Dalupan and 'The Living Legend' Robert Jaworski

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.

"THE PHENOM"-ENAL
FINALS TCIKET

Blue Eagles knock-off the Growling Tigers in a close-tight game 69-66. With the strong effort of "The Phenom" Kiefer Ravena. He was awarded as the best player of the game with, 15pts. 2rebs. 2assts.

It was a hardly contested game from start to finish. In the first quarter it seemed UST would control the ball game and keep Blue Eagles on a chased down but the Ateneans refused to be on that spot and came back in the second quarter and ended the first half leading by 8-points, 30-38.

ADMU's lead ballooned to 15-points in the third quarter, their largest lead in the ball game but the UST Growling Tigers fought back and brought the lead to 12-points after three quarters, 52-40.

In the early part of the fourth and final quarter everyone thought that the Blue Eagles would easily take this one out of Uste. ADMU led the whole game, but they relaxed a bit and Uste took advantage of that and made their last and strong run to salvage their position in the Final 4 playoff and forced the Blue Eagles to a sudden death game this coming Sunday but ADMU denied that run.

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?
