Random Basketball Thoughts: Is San Beda As Dominant?
A few weeks of both NCAA 87 and UAAP 74 basketball have gone by, and there are so many points of discussion. There are things that are clear as day (Ateneo’s dominance), and some not so clear (Is San Beda as dominant?). Surprises? Perhaps a few. But in the exciting world of college basketball, surprises are a staple as the season rolls on. Oh, and not only college basketball has been going on in recent weeks. We’ll talk a little about that too.
Is San Beda as Dominant? We are not comparing San Beda to Ateneo, mind you. We are comparing this year’s team to San Beda teams of the past few years. Yes, the Red Lions have not lost to this point, and they have won via a blow-out in three of four games. But, is there something missing? Of course the obvious answer is, yes. Sudan is not manning the middle and they do not seem anywhere near as intimidating. Pascual and Lanete are stepping up, but only time will tell if the absence of the big man in the middle is the key. The NCAA playing field is much more level this year, and it seems anyone can beat the other on a good day. Is it time to roar once more?
