In this episode of The Navs Effect, I’m joined by Phoenix Fuel Masters head coach and Cignal analyst Willy Wilson for a deep dive into UAAP basketball and beyond.

We react to Ateneo’s win over UE, the impact of Blue Eagles newcomers Kymani Ladi and Dominic Escobar, and whether the Red Warriors should focus more on Precious Momowei. We also discuss UP’s loss to Adamson — what’s behind the Fighting Maroons’ early struggles, the slow start for Rhey Remogat, and whether the Soaring Falcons can make a run to the Finals.

Then, we look ahead to La Salle vs. UST, particularly the matchup between Michael Phillips and Collins Akowe, plus Jacob Cortez’s rise and how he compares to his father Mike, who was once Willy’s teammate.

We wrap things up with Willy’s reflections on his La Salle playing days, his first season coaching Phoenix in the PBA, and our returning “Life Corner” segment.
