July 10, 2011: DLSU lost to FEU 74-65 , Ateneo KO Adamson 55-51
A rematch of the Final Four last season, everyone expected the Green Archers to win in the inaugural game but the Tamaraws have other plans in mind. The Archers had full control of the game right from the start, then the tables turned in the 2nd quarter. Despite shooting at a measley 40.4 % from the field, the Tams took advantage of the Archers' sloppy plays and started making their scoring run. The Gang Green's rebounding was the only thing that kept them afloat the entire game.
LA Revilla racked up 18 points, 5 boards and 5 dimes for his return to the Green Archers roster in a losing effort. FEU's rising star RR Garcia carried his team with 21 points chalking up a W for Season 74.
New rivals Ateneo Blue Eagles and Adamson Soaring Falcons faced once more in the main event at the Big Dome. Keifer Ravena had a rather quiet debut for Ateneo but the other rookie Greg Slaughter was louder than bomb on his first game in the UAAP. The big man had 23 points, 8 rebounds and dropped 2 dimes for the Blue Eagles albeit the low scoring game for both teams.
Adamson gave their all and still managed to keep up with the defending champs. Alex Nuyles had 11 points, 3 boards and an assist for the Soaring Falcons.

In the second game, the National University Baby Bulldogs dropped the University of Santo Tomas Tiger Cubs in OT 63-59. Ralph Tansingco of NU racked 20 points, 4 boards and blocked 2 shots. UST's Nicko Bahia had 23 points, 6 rebounds, a couple of steals and one assist.
FEU dominated UE in game 3, 98-68. Jerie Pingoy chalked up 23 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, dropped 8 dimes and had 7 steals for the Baby Tams while UE's Ralph Lapada scored 14 points, 5 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals.
The main game pitted rivals De La Salle Zobel Junior Archers and the Ateneo Blue Eaglets. This time however, the Junior Archers were the victors in OT against the Eaglets on their Blue home turf 78-75. Gabriel Reyes of DLSZ scored 21 points, had 4 boards, stolen the ball once and dropped a dime.

It's the Ladies turn
Who says girls can't ball? Well, the UAAP lady ballers may have something to say about that. Game one of the Women's Division, the Ateneo Lady Eagles got an easy W over the NU Lady Bulldogs 51-39. Samantha Ong scored 11 points, grabbed 6 boards and had one assist for the Ladies in Blue. NU's Eden Alla had 13 points, 4 rebounds and dropped just one dime.
