Tearin' It Up
When UAAP Season 76 started, nobody see that the FEU Tamaraws would be still undefeated after 4 games. After winning against UE and Ateneo in the first week, they thwarted UP and DLSU this week. RR Garcia and Terrence Romeo showed that they can really play together and not just playing hero ball. The real test for these Tams is when they face up against UST and NU later this month.
At last, Ateneo won its first UAAP game at the expense of Adamson Falcons. Kiefer Ravena played but is still not in basketball shape. He just finished with 2 points, 0 out of 4 in the field and 2 turnovers. The biggest factors in that Ateneo win is the resurgence of big man JP Erram who finished with 12 markers and 12 boards; Juami Tiongson with a team high 15 points and Ryan Buenafe who had an almost triple-double game with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists.

The NCAA Season 89 host CSB Blazers should be 4-0. But they are winless after 4 heartbreaking losses. They almost escaped NCAA 3-peat Champs San Beda on opening day; they collapsed in the final seconds in the EAC Generals game; another heartbreaking loss in the hands of mediocre JRU Heavy Bombers and another one against last year's finalist Letran Knights. Coach Gabby Velasco and his boys should be mental prepared and mentally tough by now. If not, they never will.
Back to Earth
After winning this summer's Filoil tourney, the UE Red Warriors was tagged as the dark horse in the UAAP Season 76. But after 4 games, they just seem to be a mediocre team. They just won one out of four games after escaping a gritty NU squad with Roi Sumang last second's heroics. Also, the team is under the limbo after the UAAP Management Committee is questioning big man Charles Mammie's eligibility. JMP
