- The Red Robins of Mapua/Malayan College really seem poised to challenge San Beda for the Juniors basketball plum in the NCAA. They're a lock for the Final 4, and should be one of the finalists in September.
- JRU surprises Adamson and they should spring some more surprises when the NCAA opens in a couple of weeks.
- San Beda manhandles the UST Growling Tigers with steady shooting and unforgiving defense. UST seems easily rattled even with African Karim Abdul anchoring the post. Clark Bautista didn't play much today. Wonder why...
- DLSU's guards are as sharp as ever and their press is still a turnover-factory when done properly. Welcome back LA Revilla.
- AdMU isn't as scary after all. Chinks were revealed and IF Ryan Buenafe doesn't suit up this year, who will be the steady guy in the clutch?
