The UP Maroons clearly don’t mind juggling three tournaments as they gear up for their UAAP title defense.

MANILA Philippines – Despite the team’s string of consecutive playing dates, University of the Philippines men’s basketball program director Bo Perasol isn’t concerned by the Maroons’ heavy workload.

Still bannered by UAAP Rookie of the Year and Mythical Five member Carl Tamayo, the Maroons have primarily competed in the FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup, UCBL, and Pinoy Liga Cup. So far, UP already played a total of 15 games from July 19 to August 7. Twice, the Maroons even played two games in one day.

Some UP supporters on social media, though, have raised concern on the stacked schedule, noting the lack of recovery in between games could lead to injuries before the UAAP Season 85 opening in October.“Not at all. If coach Gold is not concerned, I am not, too,” he said. It works well for State U that they have a deep pool of recruits and holdovers who can alternate between games, including those expected to play in Season 85 and beyond. Former National University Bulldogs Reyland Torres and Ernest Felicilda, for example, have suited up mostly in the UCBL.
