Ateneo Blue Eagles UAAP 75th Men's Basketball Champion

The Ateneo Blue Eagles completed 5 streak championship for the Senior Men's Basketball Tournament under the 75th UAAP Season. Congratulations to you coming from the the other side of the court. I am not a fan of UAAP basketball but a follower of professional basketball especially of the NBA.  But there is nothing more passionate and emotional than the university competition on the basketball court be it in UAAP or NCAA.


I happened to write this blog because of this morning's trip. It is the usual Saturday morning walk at the Fort Global City. Our 1 year old son likes to walk on the beautiful grass and landscape of the Fort Street. After about 45 mins, we proceeded to our usual breakfast at Jollibee and along our way we saw lots of people lining up for Mind Museum.

During breakfast at Jollibee, I can't help but overhear two gentlemen conversing about the UAAP men's basketball championship. I guess they weren't cheering for Ateneo and most likely are not of blue blood. They mentioned that FEU still has the longest basketball winning streak in UAAP. Well the soonest I got home, I searched for historical stats for the UAAP Basketball championship and here is what Wikipedia has to say....

The top 3 Universities with the longest winning streaks in UAAP's Men's Basketball are:
1. UE - 7
2. ADMU - 5
3. DLSU - 4

The Universities with the most number of Championships would be:
1. UST - 40
2. UE -  30
3. FEU - 29

This is still  a long way for the likes of DLSU and ADMU to catchup. Is this because DLSU and ADMU joined UAAP late? It's still a big milestone for ADMU for completing 5-peat. That's something to be really proud of.
