The final two playdates of the UAAP Season 74 are this weekend. The postseason cast is set. The only thing that needs to be settled is the format. If you don't know how, it's relatively simple.
Ateneo - 13-0
Adamson - 9-4
UST - 8-5
FEU - 8-5
Final games of the UAAP regular season:
UP vs UE
Adamson vs Ateneo
NU vs UST
La Salle vs FEU
The Soaring Falcons can formally book their 2nd place finish if they beat Ateneo, something they can do for the first time since the Fidel V. Ramos administration. If they fail to do so, Ateneo seals their regular season sweep, the third in the history of the UAAP since the Final Four format (UST in 1993, UE in 2007). That then would open the possibility for FEU and UST to grab said 2nd slot and force a playoff against Adamson with that on the line..
Here are the scenarios involving the Tamaraws and the Growling Tigers:
If both win: Triple tie, with FEU taking fourth due to their quotient, AdU and UST fight for 2nd.
If either win: Tied with Adamson, force playoff, loser faces FEU in knockout.
If neither win: no playoff necessary. UST vs FEU knockout, winner faces a twice-to-beat Adamson. Winner then faces a thrice-to-beat Ateneo.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Enjoy postseason basketball in the UAAP. All heart. All out.
