Bakit Mas Patok/Mas Gusto nyo ang UAAP Basketball kesa PBA?

[bang]

konti lang games ng UAAP saka 3 to 4 months lang ang haba kaya mas sabik ang mga tao panoorin.

[Blue Rules]

Ako nawalan ng gana sa PBA after the Fil-Sham controversy.

[manila101]

Ano ba yung Fil-Sham?

[theo78]

yung early 2000s. yung cases nina al segova, sonny alvarado...

let's say exciting ang UAAP basketball, no doubt. talagang these players are playing their hearts out for the school...

okay naman ang PBA, napatunayan na yan sa semifinals ng past conference...the problem kasi is maraming pinagkakaabalahan ang tao ngayon hindi tulad noong araw...

[gval28]

The reason why?

Would you cheer for your school? Yes

Would you cheer for a Hotdog or Milk? No

if the NBA teams were composed of brands like Coke or AT&T would you think people would care about the leauge?

Hotdog or milk FTW!!

Oo nga dati nung nasa 7-15 age ako, ginebra to death ako, o kaya kung sinong malakas, like tnt, bmeg or whatnot.

From college till now, college team na ang favorite ko at napamahal akp.

Kahit out sa final four or may losing record, sila parin ang ichecheer ko.

Parang NBA yan, yung mga taga-Charlotte kahit lagapak na ang team sinosuportahan parin nila.

Ayan ang tinatawag na unconditional love, in basketball per se.

Out of F4 or with losing record: it's ok.

Qualifying for F4: yes!

Going into the Finals: Yahoo!!

Winning the Championship: Tears of joy, proud to be a -blank-.

Naaalala ko ng-champion ang UST 6 years ago, parang maiiyak ako sa tuwa.

One word: AFFILIATION

We don't have an NBA-style basketball team here where a team represents a particular city or region. It's difficult to support a team owned by a corporation in the PBA.

On the other hand I am directly affiliated with two UAAP teams, hence there's more reason for me to support the team.

[jsonmiles]

Affinity? bakit sa National team... I think affinity will be a factor once this scholl has done something good to you in your family...

Actually we had that NBA style league once. That was the now defunct MBA. Yes, mas maganda talaga panooring ang UAAP or college basketball in general than the pros. Iba ang atmosphere ng college spirit eh.

[sakitsabangs]

Kung school spirit din lang, bakit hindi patok ang NCaa?

[hoopsfan21]

Masaya panoorin yung mga rising stars of tomorrow habang nagsisimula pa lang sila. School rivalries din na hindi namamatay like ADMUvsDLSU. The energy is different when you're watching UAAP games vs PBA games

[Hindsight]

Don Allado's recent tweet outburst against the PBA regarding "game fixing" didn't help in improving its integrity and regaining my trust.

Kung kaya sa UAAP games na lang ako sumusubaybay kapag may laban. Kita'ng kita mo naman sa mga coaching staff at mga bata ang loyalty at pride nila for their respective schools.

Talo o manalo wala'ng iwanan.

[sakitsabangs]

Akala yata nya makakalusot sya sa pag-delete ng twets nya. Sana nag-dedicate na lang sya ng Call me maybe video cover sa mga referees.

I threw a wish in the well,

Don't ask me, I'll never tell

I looked to you as it fell,

And now you're in my way


Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?


It's hard to look right,

At you baby,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?


You took your time with the call,

I took no time with the fall

You gave me nothing at all,

But still, you're in my way


I beg, and borrow and steal

Have foresight and it's real

I didn't know I would feel it,

But it's in my way

[ExApparatus]

School pride, I guess.
