Today is the start of La Salle and FEU's own 3 game series. Why 3 game series? Because the winner of this match gets a twice-to-beat advantage. Meaning one of them has to win 2 games to move on to the UAAP finals (which makes it 2 out of 3).
La Salle is led by JV Casio and Rico Maierhofer, two players who are as seasoned, battle tested and unflappable as they come. These two guys have starred in so many crucial games for La Salle that it's almost unimaginable that they would crumble in these next few games. But, to win, DLSU's young and upcoming core of Atkins, Malabes and Revilla must step up and ease the pressure on Casio and Maierhofer.
FEU, on the other hand, has Mark Barroca leading the charge, with big men Cervantes and Ramos giving the DLSU big men fits on defense. If the Tams get big games from Knuttel, Adolfo, Fernandez and the other FEU big guns as well, the Archer could be neck deep in dung.
My take? La Salle wins the first game, then FEU comes back to take the second game. Finally, DLSU squeaks out a victory in OT in the rubbermatch and marches on to face Ateneo (who should beat the UE Warriors easily).
