NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A TIGER!
The lone loss of the UST Growling Tigers happened during my birthday celebration last month. It was against NU Bulldogs. It was heartbreaking because most of us were not convinced with their win.
I made sure I'll be able to watch the UAAP game live last October 17. The last time I watched the UAAP basketball game live was 1997 in Araneta Coliseum. I have witnessed the 14-0 sweep of my beloved UST Growling Tigers in UAAP Season 56 and the FourPeat Championship record from 1993-1997.
The MOA Arena was dominated by Thomasians. We filled the arena with our chants. The GoUSTe cheer gave me chills. It felt like college years all over again. The section I was seated was occupied mostly by Thomasian alumni. It was heartwarming to be in the same room with my fellow Thomasians.
Fellow alumni, if you wish to watch the UAAP games of UST you might want to follow the UST Office of the Alumni Relations on Facebook.
The UST Office of the Alumni Relations sell UAAP Men's Basketball Lower Box tickets to UST Alumni Cardholders.
