Bilog Survey #1
UP to finish Season 73 winless
By Josiah Israel Albelda
20 August 2010
Almost half of Bilog ang Bola readers do not see a win coming for my hapless University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons.
Nine out of the 22 votes (40%) cast in the week-long poll at Bilog ang Bola said that UP will not beat anybody this year, a dour forecast for a team dubbed by many pundits as a dark horse before Season 73 began.
The poll started before the second round, with the Maroons toting a 0-7 record. They have since dropped two straight - in blowout fashion - to Ateneo and La Salle.
UP's friends at the cellar, National University (interestingly, their opponent this Sunday) and University of the East got four (18%) votes each while University of Santo Tomas and De La Salle University were chosen twice (9%).
One said that the Maroons will shock front-running Far Eastern University while none thought of UP trimming Adamson University.
This week's poll will be on who the top three picks of the 2010 PBA Rookie Draft will be.
