UAAP Season 71 -- When it all ended on Game Tiu

Congratulations to the Ateneo Blue Eagles for being this year's UAAP champions!

It's been a long time since our last championship. I was still in Ateneo when we last held the title six years ago. Needless to say, I'm mighty proud we finally made it. Everyone actually worked for the win -- beating La Salle 4 to nothing this season and most of all, having the longest winning streak ever for UAAP at 16-1.

Cheers to our players as well for bagging most of the individual awards: Rabeh Al-Hussaini (MVP, Most Improved Player, Jollibee Champ Award, Mythical 5), Nonoy Baclao (Best Defensive Player), Chris Tiu (Mythical 5), Ryan Buenafe (Rookie of the Year, Rookie Team) and Nico Salva (Rookie Team).

I was in Ateneo yesterday morning and was able to congratulate Nonoy amidst fans who are taking his pic. Hehe :p

Anyhoo, what are we all waiting for?
