OMG KQ! Game 2 Reactions + Game 3 Previews with Nash Racela and Diego Dario
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. Adamson Head Coach Nash Rachel and Meralco Bolts guard Diego Dario are back to join Nikko as they react to the wild end of Game 2. As best as they can, they try not to evaluate either team based solely on the result (of the game or even each possession). Sometimes, bad decisions lead to great moments. Sometimes, good shots still don’t go in. The beauty of the game is in the details, regardless of win or loss or make or miss. Again, this gets nerdy. For a few minutes, it’ll be a stat sheet on your screen lol (TY TO THE SULTAN OF STATS PONG DUCANES aka @ompongski). Anyway, congrats to all of us for getting rewarded a Game 3 between these two great teams. Enjoy the pod. See you Sunday!

UAAP Favorite Things with Diego Dario
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) LA SALLE (1:20:20) UP (1:38:10) Hit the comments and share what YOUR favorite thing this season has been so far, and see you at the games!
