When Ronald Tubid played for UE in the UAAP, he was called "The Saint". He is still sometimes called The Saint by a few PBA commentators. Why was he called "The Saint" in the first place?

A. He looks like a saint.
B. He plays like a saint.
C. He prays like a saint.
D. He had a big game which he dedicated to a saint.

Stay tuned for the answer.

How many championships did the FEU Tamaraws won in the UAAP basketball history? In what year? Who were the coaches?

FEU has already won 19 UAAP Men's Basketball titles dating back from the start of the 1st UAAP season...

1938, 1939, 1947, 1950, 1956, 1961, 1972, 1973,1976, 1979, 1981, 1982,
1983, 1991, 1992, 1997, 2003, 2004*, 2005 = 19 championships

* - the UAAP board has decided to award the 2004 title to FEU in November of last year after DLSU found out that they fielded ineligible players in their line-up...

the coaches at the helm were:

Jose Yee - early 50's - late 60's
Arturo Valenzona - early 70's - late '80's
Alfredo "Pong" Amador - late 80's - 1996
Danilo "Danny" Gavieres - 1997-2000
Enrico "Koy" Banal - 2000-04
Roberto "Bert" Flores - 2005-06

What is the highest scoring game in the UAAP Basketball?

[paul_tams]

^was it adamson vs. NU in opening game of season 68?

[Gospel of Judas]

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

[Ace_Kn|ghT_9]

And that's WITHOUT any PEPTEST flunkers or high school drop-outs, and actually managing to maintain a decent graduation rate wherein our players even take graduate degrees. :D

none of the above! (he was actually first called the saint during his PBL days with Ana Water Dispensers) I won't explain my answer just yet. i'll wait for you to go ahead with yours, GoGirl.

He was used as the model for a pamphlet about Blessed Pedro Calungsod, who was then up for beatification that year. He was chosen because he was an Ilonggo like the soon-to-be-saint, hailing from Oton, Iloilo, one of the towns which claims Pedro Calungsod as its own.

As an aside, it was Jesuit Communications which got Tubid to model for the pamphlet.

Of course, The Saint had none of those spitting and trash-talking episodes yet.

[d_nature_boy]

I googled calungsod and here he is... sya (tubid) nga!

correct! the closest answer among GoGirl's choices would have been "A. He looks like a saint.", but that wouldnt be completely accurate, since the portrait of Pedro Calungsod not only looks like him, it is him.

[Devastator]

2002: Ateneo, after pulling off five straight wins to close out the eliminations (including a sweep-stopping victory over La Salle in the final match of the elims), secured the third seed in the Final Four and the right to face UE. Game 1 saw the return of LA Tenorio from sickbay, (a fracture on his nonshooting hand which sidelined him for 5 games) to torch the Warriors for 17 points, enabling the Eagles to forge a rubber match. A mammoth crowd was on hand to watch Game 2 of the ADMU-UE series, which was scheduled as part of a supposed blockbuster twinbill, the other game being an exhibition between Jong Uichico's RP Team and the Qatar National Team (yep, the game where Danny Seigle tore his Achilles, effectively ending the RP Team's hopes of landing a medal in the Asiad). In the waning seconds of the match, Tenorio set up Gec Chia for what would later be known as the Hail Mary Shot, and the rest as they say, is history.


After that big game, only a handful of people stayed to watch the RP-Qatar game.

[dagitab24]

By the way, Blessed Pedro Calungsod is not *yet* a saint. Technically, that is. Canonization is a three-step process. The holy man Tubid represented is on the second stage, which is beatification and being declared "Blessed". So, technically, Ronald Tubid shouldn't have been called "The Saint"... yet.

[tigerman]

since the final four format was implemented, how many 3rd seeded teams have beaten the 2nd seeded teams twice to reach the finals? i only remember 2: FEU beating Ateneo twice in 2000 and Ateneo beating UE twice in 2002.

Five

1. 1994 - UST over UE
2. 1997 - DLSU over UST
3. 2000 - FEU over ATENEO
4. 2002 - ATENEO over UE
5. 2006 - UST over UE :D

1997: On the final day of the eliminations, DLSU was pitted against five-peat-seeking UST. DLSU was a game ahead of UST in the standings, and the Archers were ready to claim the second seed. But the Tigers won over the Archers, and the two teams ended up tied in the standings. In this age of the Quotient System, UST's 12-point margin of victory allowed the Tigers to steal the second seed, and coach Aric del Rosario was televised dancing a jig in the closing seconds of the game. That celebratory dance proved to be premature, though. Game 1 of their semifinal duel saw the determined Archers blast the Tigers by nine points. In Game 2, to chants of "M-V-P", Mark Telan delivered the steady free throws for DLSU to send the game into overtime, and the go-ahead basket in the final seconds. In UST's last posession, Richard Melencio lost the ball on the dribble, the Tigers lost the game, and UST lost all its five-peat hopes. To this day, the Tigers have not won a championship. In the most powerful image of that series, prized Tiger rookie Marvin Ortiguerra openly wept on the sidelines, and Coach Aric lovingly picked him up, instructed him to stand tall and keep his dignity intact.

Nanalo na po sila last year di ba?

1994: This was the year that the UAAP first utilized the Final Four format (the Final Four was actually implemented the previous year, but UST swept the eliminations and was crowned automatic champion). UST limped into the post season with the third seed, having to deal with less-than-100percent PF Edmund Reyes, disgruntled F/C Dennis Espino, and triggerhappy rookie SG Henry Ong. This was a far cry from their star-studded lineup that mowed through the opposition enroute to an historic 14-game sweep the previous year. They faced the second seeded UE Warriors, headed by do-it-all PF Braullo Lim, Rookie of the Year Bobby Diloy, hardworking Mar Morelos and Wowie Ibanez. But the Tigers would not be denied. The Espana-based squad got their act together, with Reyes playing above and beyond his dislocated shoulder, Espino concentrating on his game that would later earn him MVP honors, and Ong shooting, well, more three pointers. The second game of the UST-UE series was a highly emotional one, with the predominantly UE crowd pelting the floor with debris at one point. It took an impassioned plea by mustachioed UE coach Francis Rodriguez to settle everyone down. UST won both games in the series to upset UE, sending the Tigers to the finals against DLSU. UST subsequently annexed the second of their four consecutive crowns.

Si Wowie Ybanez po was a benchwarmer for UE, ang babad po ata nung 1994 eh iyung si Dennis Lim, utol ni Braulio Lim. Ang natatandaan ko lang kay Ybanez eh iyung hairstyle niya, ala Dennis Rodman, green na parang katol.

Q: How many teams have swept the UAAP finals?
A: 5

Just a clarification honey, you must mean, "How many teams have swept the UAAP finals, since the Best-of-Three Finals format was introduced in 1993".
A:6

1997 - FEU over DLSU
1998 - DLSU over FEU
2000 - DLSU over FEU
2003 - FEU over ATENEO
2005 - FEU over DLSU


Include 1996 - UST over DLSU

That year, UST beat DLSU 65-60 in Game 1 of the finals, and repeated over the Archers, 57-54 in Game 2. In the second game, with the clock winding down, UST's Dale Singson missed a freethrow, and DLSU had a chance to send the game into overtime. But hurried three-pointers by Tyrone Baustita and Chris Tan could not find their mark, and the final buzzer sounded UST's sweep of the championship series.

Hello? Sus, September 2006 ko pa po sinulat yung post na yan. Paki check na lang po yung dates ng mga post, bago punahin. Thanks very much :lol:

Just a rehash of one of my old texts, hehe :lol:

When UST swept the league in 1993, automatic champions na sila. Pero kung pinabayaan silang maglaro sa Final Four (the Final Four was instituted in 1993), they would have swept a possible 16 games. Wow. And they could have done it too, with the likes of superstars Dennis Espino, Rey Evangelista, Edmund Reyes, Udoy Belmonte, Bal David, Chris Cantonjos, Siot Tanquincen, Patrick Fran, etc.

A few years later, the UAAP adopted the "No Sweep" rule, meaning any team that sweeps both elimination rounds will not be crowned automatic champion, but rather will advance directly to the Best of Three Finals.

Anyway, since then, other UAAP teams have had sweep aspirations. Which team "stopped the sweep"?

1989 DLSU 9-0, before losing to ________
(1990 DLSU 14-0 !!!)
1991 UST 5-0, before losing to ________
1992 Adamson 4-0, before losing to ________
1993 UST Sweep

2006 Ateneo 8-0, before losing to UST

Whoa!!! 14 straight wins for DLSU in 1990? They were the eventual champions that year, but why werent they crowned automatic champions? Ako alam ko :rotflmao:

Sinong 2 schools yung nag-aagawan for hosting rights sa 2008 and sino yung 2 iba pang schools yung nag-aagawan rin ng paghost sa 2011? Anong reason?

2008 - Supposedly UST will be the host for this season but UP will be celebrating its 100th anniversary, so the latter wants to be the host in this momentous event for the Diliman-based institution...

2011 - Supposedly Ateneo will be the host for this season but its rival DLSU and the pontifical university SANTO TOMAS will be celebrating their 100th and 400th anniversary respectively too... So both the taft and espana-based institutions wants to be the host & at the same time celebrate their respective anniversaries which are both historical for the 2 said universities.



Any updates on this?

2005 FEU 7-0, before losing to UE?

^ Yup that's right dude

[Altwegg]

1999 UST at 10-0 losing to UE because of, if I am not mistaken, a 3-pointer by Tubid.

[GoGirl]

^ Yes UE dealt UST its first loss in 1999, 74-71. But the buzzer-beating, sweep-stopping, net-swishing three-pointer wasnt by Tubid, it was by some dude named Michael Cruz.

It was also before the opening tipoff for this game that an unfortunate UST fan, sitting at the lower level section, suffered a heart attack.

2002 DLSU was stopped by ADMU if I am not mistaken.

[BPO pioneer]

it only means one thing my la sallite friend... La Salle is good in basketball(as well as producing artistas).we're sooo sorry if we are "unworthy". we just concentrate more on academics than on basketball... unlike your beloved school.


my beloved friend, DLSU is part of the top Universities in the Philippines. Top 3 even.

[Me]

Whoa!!! 14 straight wins for DLSU in 1990? They were the eventual champions that year, but why werent they crowned automatic champions? Ako alam ko:naughty:
That's right! La Salle was actually the first to achieve a sweep...Bannered by the trioka of Jun Limpot, Johndel Cardel and Noli Locsin, the 1990 Archers went unbeaten, well except for the 3 wins that were nullified by the board. The reason? In those three games Noli Locsin played and the board ruled that he (Locsin) didn't do the required residency for a player who played in a commercial league. Anton Montinola, also from bacolod, caught wind that Locsin played in a league. The "commercial" league it turned out was a barangay basketball tournament held when Locsin was in bacolod during the Xmas break.

Fast forward to Arwind Santos...when Arwind Santos entered the UAAP, he already played for a CBL team. The CBL communicated with the UAAP that they consider their league as a commercial league. Anton Montinola knowing that the rule that robbed La Salle of the sweep back in 1990 is still in effect, instead of applying the same rule to Santos, maneuvered to put to vote the fate of Arwind. Curiously, even UP's board rep voted in favor of Santos despite the fact that UP had the most to gain if Santos was found ineligible. :D

That's inaccurate without qualification. FEU swept 1980 and 1981, and was outright Champions during these said years.

[ayungin]

FEU has already won 19 UAAP Men's Basketball titles dating back from the start of the 1st UAAP season...

1938, 1939, 1947, 1950, 1956, 1961, 1972, 1973,1976, 1979, 1981, 1982,
1983, 1991, 1992, 1997, 2003, 2004*, 2005 = 19 championships

FEU did not win the title in 1982 but UE during Allan Caidic's sophomore year.

What teams were consistent in the Final Four since the UAAP

started?

Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, DLSU lang ang nakapasok sa lahat ng final four simula nang ito'y itatag noong 1994.

[Jay P. Mercado]

Ayungin is correct. The FEU Tamaraws of circa 1980 and 1981 may probably be considered the most dominant team from the 70's to the present. That was a formidable team, made more scary by the presence of Anthony Williams, an American pre-med student who was the best player of the UAAP that time. Williams was so good that he was averaging close to 30 ppg, 15 rpg and around 4 bpg - arguably the most dominating college player ever. He was backstopped by other talented players like skipper Alfredo Amador, Conrado Pasco, Ramonito Roa, Rey Lazaro, Elpidio Villamin, Arturo Cristobal, Marte Saldana and another American Christopher McGarry.

I'm not from FEU and was only in grade school back then. But FEU was my favorite team in the UAAP that time because they were frequently in the papers brought about by their success and domination. They were coached by Arturo "Turing" Valenzona as well and most of their players represented the country in the 1978 Asian Youth competitions (where we won for the 5th consecutive time since its inception in 1970) and the World Youth tournament in 1979 held in Brazil. Cristobal, Lazaro, Villamin, and Saldana were some of the FEU players that made up that team which also included Zaldy Latoza of Trinity College, Hector Calma of Adamson College among others. Valenzona and the FEU players also made up the core of the defunct Solid Mills team in the MICAA who later moved to the Herminio Disini team APCOR Financiers that won 8 different amateur titles (Interclub, MICAA and National Seniors) during the 1980-1981 period.

Incidentally, during Caidic's rookie year in 1981, he bungled his two free throws which made them lost the game against FEU. He was ridiculed even by his teammates and for this reason made him resolved to practice his shots. The rest is history.

[Jay P. Mercado]

Paradoxically, Caidic became the hero of the UP-UE finals of 1982 when he single-handedly gave the crown jewel to the Warriors in their game against the Maroons. UP was then led by their captain, Vincent Albino, one of the few players who competed side-by-side against Caidic during these times. Both played the same forward position and stood 6'1 in height. Other UP players included Raymond Celis and Dondi Roque...
