UAAP S88 . FEU vs DLSU

November 16, 2025 


On my Timehop last year was the last game day of FEU for S87 against UP also little did we all know what will be the plot twist months later.


Anyways, I asked Gem if she’s available but she was not so I'm not sure if I will watch alone but according to schedule this game or the game on Saturday (Nov 22) are my only option to be able to watch a game live. I don't want to regret not watching a single game this season as for tradition already. Since it’s Sunday I was still undecided about watching but also I said it depends on my mood and also on the weather. 


I've been checking online if I can score some patron ticket since it will be DLSU and the second game will be UP that I’m assuming that it will be filled up. The night before last time to check for patron tickets or I’ll check at the venue if there's still available but hello there was few patron tickets available online like just 3 or 4 tickets. I waited some time to check out since I'm still unsure and few minutes later I bought it. I’m watching the game. 


Sunday / game day - I was about to leave then it rain and I don’t want to bring an umbrella so I wasted 30 minutes just waiting for the rain to stop. When I decided to get an umbrella the rain stopped. 


I was hoping to catch the Women’s but I decided to eat first so that took some time too and I went to some usual stores that I checked every time at Gateway so I missed that first 5 minutes of the 1st quarter. I don't really expect a win since the team has been struggling all season probably still adjusting with the changes or it was just they can’t finish strong. 


I came to the point after watching all these years that somehow I can watch games as calm as Sir Mark Molina or Sir Anton Montinola as I thought because that last 2 minutes of the game was insane. I was calm really but my heart is racing silently. 


WE WON? As I asked myself and finally confirming it as I checked the time and everyone on the bench is also celebrating already. I don't have video since I really have no expectations that we will win but WE WIN. A win is still a win and it really depends on how you finish the game. 


I still can’t process it that we won because honestly on both teams they could’ve been some changes on that last seconds of the game. Both teams still got a time out left and as FEU they can risk it but if you are down by just a point, you could have called a time out. Maybe as we all thought that there are still more time but someone should noticed that on the other side of the bench and by not calling that time out and for some reason maybe the basketball gods says this is for FEU. 





This current FEU team, they badly deserve to win a game against the big teams and I'm happy that they were able to get it. It’s just a bonus for me as a supporter and as an alumni. This team can be dangerous the next season as well hopefully no more plot twist that is heartbreaking. 


For Kirby Mongcopa, after losing some years due to his accident I don't think he will let another year or so to not play the game. 


Yes, if Veejay Pre was still in the team it will be another story for FEU but decisions has been made. That chemistry of this champion team from Baby Tams is unbelievable and there might be a missing piece from them but they somehow proved how good they can be without their friend and everyone’s friend, Pre.

I also watched the 2nd game with UP and Adamson and as I want for Adamson to win, sorry Coach Nash but we badly need UP to win apparently for our chance to still be able to join the Final Four but still depends on our last two games and to the other games. hehe


Hi, Coach Nash! So nice to see you! Come back already, it’s been 10 years since we won that championship. Lol

DLSU won against ADMU and just eliminated FEU and ADMU on a chance for the 4th spot on the Final Four. 


It was an unpredictable season and probably will be carried on the Final Four. We'll see.  


Also, Janrey for MVP?? DESERVE. 


See you on the volleyball season.
