For a change, however, there’ll be no major title at stake nor a final four or semifinals slot to fight for when the Green Archers and the Blue Eagles troop to the court at the Araneta Coliseum.
"It’s going to be a benefit game," said former Cabinet secretary Philip Juico, an avid La Salle alumnus.
The encounter is dubbed as "Basketball Game for Truth."
Archers head coach Franz Pumaren, who is also busy training the national youth team, bared that it won’t exactly be a strict La Salle versus Ateneo match-up since the two teams will lend out six players each to play alongside rival dribblers.
"We will be sending six players to Ateneo in exchange for six of their players," said Pumaren, who will be back next season to defend the UAAP crown.
Norman Black, who calls the shots for Ateneo, has already been informed about the game and is also looking forward to the game at the Big Dome.
"We will be mixing Ateneo and La Salle players on both sides and we are ready to play," said Black, who holds regular practices with the Eagles "all year round" to make sure the team doesn’t miss a single beat.
"The lineup hasn’t been finalized yet," added Black, who will be back to holler out instructions from the bench.
Last year, the two schools battled it out five times in the run-up to the finals that went down in league history as the most intense head-to-head clash ever with the gate attendance of each game leaving sports officials grinning from ear-to-ear.
