Preseason College Hoops over the Weekend

With the NCAA and UAAP basketball wars looming, most teams are hard-preparation mode via preseason tourneys.


Just this weekend, I was able to saw two of the preseason finals. 

The first one was the Fil-Oil Flying V Invitational championship game between the UE Red Warriors and the San Beda Red Lions. In a battle of reds, the Warriors proved to be redder. Marcy Arellano's steady quarterbacking, Paul Lee's hot hands and warriors defense overcame the Lions' Ekwe and Gamalinda to notch the championship and boost their preparation for the upcoming college hoops season. 

Next was the 2008 Nike Air Summer League. Again, it featured the Red hot Warriors against the Ateneo Blue Eagles. For the most part of the game, the Warriors led and appears ready to add the NSL crown to their collection. But Chris Tiu and the other Eagles, has others things in mind. Tiu nailed the winning shot while the Eagle's defense held on in stopping the warriors. This enabled the Ateneo to win its first preseason title.

By the looks of things, the college hoops season will be a blast.
