- The Eaglets struggled against a tough Mapua quintet, and it belies the relative dearth of star talent for this season. Who are the players not on the team? I'll write about it when the right time comes :)
- The Red Cubs of San Beda, on the other hand, look primed for a strong run in the NCAA Juniors circuit.
- Looks like both Mapua and JRU will be fighting for nothing more than the dignified "middle of the pack" in the NCAA Seniors.
- EAC's Noube Happi seems happy playing the slot for the Generals. Whether he'll measure up against the other imports is another story altogether.
- Coach Richard Del Rosario can look forward to another year of uncertainty with his Blazers.
- UE will be running a lot this coming season, which means they'll hoist a lot of shots, and probably miss a lot too.
-Former Letran Squire JM Noble look sto play heavy minutes in Season 74, especially since Ken Acibar has been demoted to Team B.
