HOOOHA!!!

After a win over the defending champions UST Tigers (YEAH!), the Ateneo Blue Eagles will face once again their biggest rivals, the DLSU Green Archers. Yeah, yeah, yeah… the fates have decided that three Ateneo – DLSU matches just ain’t enough for one season.

And would you believe, the New York Times even has feature on the Ateneo – La Salle rivalry…

Senators, foreign diplomats, cabinet ministers, a smattering of Forbes’s 40 richest Filipinos, movie stars and enough professional basketball players to play five-on-five. They are the elite of Philippine society, and they all gather at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City to watch the men’s basketball rivalry between the universities Ateneo de Manila and De La Salle….

Ateneo and La Salle are the most prestigious private universities in the country. The question of which institution provides a superior education is a toss-up; the tie breakers take place on the basketball court.

Although Ateneo and La Salle have similar upper-class student bodies, their respective basketball teams are very different.

GO ATENEO!
ONE!
BIG!
FIGHT!
