VARSITY HEAT: FINAL FOUR EDITION

Let’s get down to business. With the elimination rounds out of the way, we’re almost done with the Final Four for Season 81. While we are seeing some of our players graduate and move on to the pro ranks, we noticed that most of our teams didn’t go crazy with their kicks as they know that the games truly matter. From FEU’s game winner, UP’s heart-stopper, and Ateneo’s beatdown, this was truly a week of greatness. While this week was pretty low-key, we’ll hand the Sneaker MVP trophy to Sean Manganti, for the personal messages he penned down on his 2.5s. Check out the rest of this week’s Varsity Heat: Final Four Edition, presented by SLAM Philippines and Sole Movement.
