Consider this a warning: This episode gets super nerdy.

UP was on the brink of a title. Someone somewhere was getting ready for a bonfire to be lit in Diliman. But then, out of nowhere, a basketball superhero did superhero things. Kevin Quiambao snatched victory from the Maroons’ hands in a way that can only be described with acronyms: WTF! YOLO! SMH. GOAT! OMG.

Our bias is in the building!

Fresh off of ANOTHER Final Four run, Coach Nash Racela joins the pod to talk about how team-building (and game-winning) is harder than ever in the UAAP. He also breaks down what Nikko and Diego (mostly Nikko) got wrong about Adamson's strategies this season and gets candid about where this Falcons team succeeded and failed this year.

Nikko & Diego also pick Coach Nash's brain as they preview the UP-DLSU Finals starting Sunday!

Thanks for making time Coach Nash and congrats on another great year!

We're back in time for the Final Four!

Nikko and Diego preview UP-UST and DLSU-ADU but also talk about one adjective that best suits each non-playoff university.

Can UST repeat what they did vs UP from Season 82?

Does Nash have more magic up his sleeve?

Will UP make it 4 straight Finals trips?

Can anyone stop KQ?

All that plus Cheerdance Predictions lol not lol.

Enjoy!

The nerds are back!

Diego Dario has a new mic, a new board and fiery first round Finals rematch to break down! How does La Salle hunt mismatches for KQ? Why does UP keep shooting poorly vs the Archers? Was there or was there not any spitting that took place?

We answer those questions and so much more.

Tap in!

Alright, brace yourself for a long one!

If you love the UAAP or basketball in general, if you enjoy talking about schemes and the little tiny details of the game, or if you maybe want to learn a little bit and understand hoops a little better, than this episode is for you.

Meralco Bolts guard and UAAP analyst Diego Dario goes back and forth with Nikko as they list down their favorite 'thing' about each UAAP team this season. We tackle everything - from how and why Jared Bahay is being guarded like a superstar by other teams, to why does La Salle insist on the three-big lineup; from what could possibly be the UP achilles heel to the effects of Pido not forcing this UST team to shave their heads.

Jump ahead if you want to skip to a specific team:

FEU (08:55)

NU (21:26)

ATENEO (29:57)

UE (46:46)

ADAMSON (56:11)

UST (1:10:07)

Has the WNBA ever been more on fire than right now?

Let's re-visit these two conversations from right before the season started, with W stars Jewell Loyd and Aliyah Boston. Originally from the NBA Republika Huddle series, these interviews capture the excitement that both Jewell and Aliyah had about the upcoming season, all the new fans of women's basketball and the rise in participation and attention for girls' sports globally.

Thanks a lot to the Gold Mamba and the league's reigning ROY for making time, and good luck the rest of the season!

With less than a month to go before the WNBA Draft, let's jump back to a month ago to our conversations with Sabrina Ionescu, Jewell Loyd, Natasha Cloud, Shakira Austin, Brionna Jones and Rhyne Howard! This was a whirlwind experience because we were told about a last minute slot to interview them just an hour before. Hearing them talk about how they started in the game and how they're now leading the charge to change women's sports globally - life-changing.

Shoutout to the W, man!

More than a league.
