The UAAP Season 73 men's basketball tournament is the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP)'s men's basketball tournament for the 2010–11 season. The Ateneo Blue Eagles won against the FEU Tamaraws in the finals, winning in two games. Ateneo blew out FEU in the first game, and hanged on in the second game to clinch their third consecutive title. Ryan Buenafe, who scored a crucial three-point shot late in Game 2, was named Finals MVP. In the semifinals, FEU defeated the De La Salle Green Archers in overtime on their semifinal match-up, while Ateneo blew out the Adamson Falcons in the other semifinal. The UP Fighting Maroons finished the season with no victories for the second time in four years; their coach Aboy Castro went on leave after incurring their second consecutive loss, and new coach Boyet Fernandez led the team to twelve more defeats to end the season with a 0–14 record. Fernandez tendered his courtesy resignation to university officials after the last game of the season Sophomore Ryan Roose "RR" Garcia and freshman Terrence Romeo, both from FEU, were named most valuable player and rookie of the year, respectively. ==Preseason events== Two teams entered the season with new coaches. After missing the semifinals for the first time, Franz Pumaren resigned as head coach of the De La Salle Green Archers, after which he announced his intention to run for Congressman of Quezon City's 3rd district. His brother, assistant coach Dindo Pumaren and former head coach of the UE Red Warriors is his replacement. The NU Bulldogs terminated head coach Manny Dandan's contract after leading the team to a 3–11 finish the previous year. Meanwhile, the ''Manila Bulletin'' reported that UST Growling Tigers head coach Pido Jarencio was fired, although the university later issued a statement that he is remaining as head coach until at least January 2011. NU was reportedly wooing Jarencio to be their head coach, although NU clarified that it was only a rumor. NU ultimately decided to promote assistant coach Eric Gonzales as the new head coach, with advice from new consultant Eric Altamirano. In preseason warmup tournaments, the FEU Tamaraws was defeated by NCAA champion San Sebastian Stags 79–78 in the Filoil Flying V First Five Preseason Invitational Cup final, while the Ateneo Blue Eagles defeated the Mapua Cardinals in the Father Martin's Cup final, 68–64. Prior to the season, FEU and defending champion Ateneo were ranked the teams to beat; UE were targeting for a championship, and La Salle was low-key as Pumaren touted his roster as the "youngest in the season." Jarencio remained modest as UST was ranked eighth (last). Adamson and NU aimed to be recognized as "contenders." UP coach Aboy Castro commented that while general consensus dictates that Ateneo and FEU were locked in the top two spots, "it will be tough to get into the 3rd and 4th slot." Furthermore, Finals will be aired in ABS-CBN Channel 2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UAAP Season 73 men's basketball tournament」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
