The basketball community is one in congratulating the new kings of NCAA men’s basketball:
Congrats Letran. Great fight Coach Boyet & the Red Lions. But Batiller’s interview has got to rank as one of the best post gamers ever!

Crazy game! Congrats to the Letran Community! Nothing to be ashamed of to the Bedan Community. It’s just one of those games that sadly, some had to lose. Next up, OBF for the blue and white!

Congrats Letran. Arriba Letran! Giant slayers. Great Work Jeric Balanza. Great performance in the biggest stage. Great job to San Beda, always still the standard bearers, but Letran rose to the challenge in this finals. Very impressive.

Incredible series! Wild ending every single game! Letran took in the haymakers of San Beda and still found ways to punch back. Only team that was able to do that this entire season.
