Independent UAAP 73 prediction for the FEU Tamaraws

“[FEU] was supposed to win it all in the past two season, is again picked by many to take home the championship. The only loss really from their line up from last year was Mark Barroca, whom they lost halfway through last season. So it wont be a completely new feeling to the team. Adding Terrence Romeo and Anton Bringas (brother of Arvie, formerly of DLSU), this team wont miss a beat on the adjustments. X-Factor - Wanting to win above all. It is no secret about all the controversies that FEU has been going through in the past couple seasons. Now the team just needs to win. They just need to want to win more than anything in the world. Because if they really want to, and no off the court distractions, and they have more than what it takes to win.

GOLDEN could be a good sum-up for FEU, if the Tams’ on-court play finally lives up to promise, and if they can clam up the off-court controversies that have hampered their chances in the past. Armed with two RP Team mainstays, last year’s best point guard, and a slew of prototype big-men-who-can-shoot, FEU is (once again) the favorite.

If this were a video game, then perhaps no team could keep up with the Tamaraws, but, as reality would have it, the UAAP is a tad more unforgiving and unpredictable than that. There’s not much to be said except for the fact that anything less than a title should be considered a failure for such a strong team.

This is a squad loaded from top to bottom, and built for one purpose – to win that elusive UAAP diadem. They’ve got Aldrech Ramos and Reil Cervantes up front, Paul Sanga and JR Cawaling on the wings and RR Garcia calling the plays. And coach Glenn Capacio still has veterans Jens Knuttel, Chris Exciminiano, and Pipo Noundou off the pine. What more can a UAAP team ask for? Nothing much, except maybe some good old game-to-game steadiness and reliability. As far as the line-ups go, only one team can run with FEU – and that’s FEU. (Rookie Terrence Romeo broke the 80-point barrier in one of last year’s Juniors games. He’ll be hard-pressed to duplicate that feat in the Seniors division, but he has the spunk to be a headache for the opposition.)”    -Atayde and Enzo Flojo
