University of the East

Three Warriors averaged in double digits led by Roi Sumang’s 19.3ppg and Charles Mammie’s 15.4ppg, respectively. Ralf Olivares put up 11 points a game but has used up his eligibility. The rest of the team? No one cracked seven points. The problem here is UE will be too predictable. You can shackle everybody else and let Sumang and Mammie do all the work. Almost 35 points can only do so much especially when going up against a stacked up team that plays defense. Maybe the addition of Moustapha and continued development of Gino Jumao-As in a Mark Barroca-esque role would lighten the burden on Sumang and Mammie. And while we are at it, will someone please tell Boyzie Zamar to start Chris Javier alongside Mammie? That would ultimately add a D to his efense. And, let’s not forget that UE led the league... in protests. – Pio Garcia
