UV Wins CYBL Under 12 Title

-
The University of the Visayas strikes again! UV humbled SHS-Ateneo de Cebu, 73-16, to take the Under 12 division title of the CYBL Summer league yesterday at the SHS-Ateneo Mango Campus gym.

Leading from start to end, UV stunned everyone with a 14-0 run in just five minutes, using its full-court pressure to deny SHS-Ateneo of decent looks at the goal, and getting easy baskets off steals from their relentless pressure. The first period ended with UV enjoying a 26-3 lead. The second period wasn’t any different as they maintained a 23-point lead at 32-9. The lead ballooned to 54-15 after three periods with “game over” written all over the court. It was a display of dominance for UV with Jan Mark Toring leading UV with 19 points as Jacob Cortes added 12, including three triples. Louie Bual added ten. Benj Chua led SHS-Ateneo with six points. UV is coming off an Under 12 championship at the CYBL 2018-2019 3rd Conference, also over SHS-Ateneo.

UV now seeks its sights on the Under 15 championship next week after clubbing USPF-A, 77-37, in the semifinals. They face SHS-Ateneo de Cebu for the championship after the Magis Eagles defeated Southwestern University-PHINMA, 54-44, in the other semifinal game. In other games, One on One-A nipped Punta Princesa, 43-40, in the Under 12 Friendly Finale, as Tayud defeated AMICIS, 50-35, in the Under 15 Friendly Finale.

UV is on track to score four age group championships in this pre-season. They’re also in the running for the championships of the high school and college divisions of the ongoing CESAFI Partner’s Cup 2019.

Bleacher Talk August 30, 2009 Milo BEST Milo and BEST, BEST and Milo = Milo BEST. Get it? It’s a play of words that has been there for the past 25 years and it looks like nothing can stop it.

Milo BEST: All Basics The Basketball Efficiency Scientific Training (BEST) Center has been around for 31 years, and it has been at the forefront of doing the most basic of basketball teaching: sticking to the basics. This is the primary content of the Milo-sponsored BEST Center basketball clinics that have become an institution in Philippine basketball. “We teach the fundamentals, lahat ng klaseng fundamentals ng basketball — that’s our philosophy, dahil sabi nila, basketball is just a series of fundamentals,” said Nic, who was inspired to bring the concept of basketball clinics to the Philippines 31 years ago when budding players at that time had no formal training in the sport. The BEST Center program is divided into four levels. Level 1 focuses on dribbling and ballhandling fundamentals. Level 2 is focused on the basics of shooting. Level 3 is on Individual Defense while Level 4 is on Individual Offense. Every student who enrolls in the BEST Center starts with Level 1 and moves up ...

Dominate Visayas?

Bleacher Talk November 9, 2008 Dominate Visayas? Cebu has always boasted that it’s the hotbed of basketball south of Manila. But if it’s a real dominance over the rest of our neighbors in Visayas and Mindanao, this will have to cover all levels of basketball. At the higher level of basketball, Cebu is virtually unstoppable. The M. Lhuillier ballclub has always been tops in the semi pro circuit, representing Cebu in the Liga Plipinas and their previous leagues such as the MVBA and URBL. At the collegiate level, the University of the Visayas has always been tagged as the top collegiate team in the Vismin and is even considered a threat to the top teams of the UAAP and NCAA. We’re not counting the PBA and PBL here since these are more national in scope. But I’d like to see M. Lhuillier take their action to this level (this makes another story). The Central Visayas has also been our domain in the Palarong Pambansa even if we suffered a glitch when Bohol defeated Cebu City in the high schoo...
