All eyes will be on defending champion Ateneo de Manila University when the Season 76 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) unfolds on June 29 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Blue Eagles are raring to earn their sixth straight championship title despite losing some key players including the seven-footer Greg Slaughter and last season’s Finals Most Valuable Player Nico Salva. Other players who have exhausted their five-year eligibility are Tonino Gonzaga, Justin Chua and Oping Sumalinog.
