As this year's host, the Pontifical and Royal University, the University of Santo Tomas (UST) will once again show its unique identity on September 3 during the UAAP Season 79 opening ceremonies inside the campus.
After the festivities, the men's basketball action will commence on the following day September 4 with a monster double-header. At 2PM it will be the UP Fighting Maroons taking on the Adamson Falcons. Both teams are on a rebuilding mode with the Jones Cup 2016 title holder coach Bo Perasol spearheading UP while the well-decorated college coach who propelled DLSU to basketball prominence years back, Franz Pumaren guiding Adamson to the right path after a disappointing UAAP Season 78. And then at 4PM the controversial UST Growling Tigers and coach Boy Sablan will try to turn a new leaf against the vaunted Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles who are on a high after landing the National Team's coach Tab Baldwin.
The eventful opening day games will surely amp up your hunger for college basketball. And so for the complete schedule, check out the info below.
