NCAA games postponed anew due to Typhoon Uwan

The Impact of NCAA Games Postponed due to Typhoon Uwan Safety First in College Basketball

As Typhoon Uwan approaches the Philippines, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has made the decision to postpone all its games scheduled for Tuesday. The highly anticipated rivalry matches between San Beda University and Colegio de San Juan de Letran, as well as Lyceum of the Philippines University and University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, will be rescheduled.

Prioritizing Safety Above All

The NCAA has taken a proactive approach to ensure the safety of its student-athletes, spectators, and all stakeholders involved. In light of the announcement from Malacañang Palace regarding the suspension of classes and work in the National Capital Region on November 10-11, 2025, due to the threat posed by Super Typhoon UwanPH, the league has prioritized caution over competition.

Impact on the Rivalry Matches

The postponement of the games means that San Beda University's chance to secure back-to-back wins in the league will have to wait. They were set to face off against Colegio de San Juan de Letran, a team they lost to earlier in the season. The Red Lions had been looking forward to avenging their first-round loss and hoping to repeat history.

On the other hand, Letran was relying more on their bigs this time around, with veteran Kevin Santos and bruiser Denver Omega having more chemistry inside the paint. They aim to change the story and avenge their first-round loss in Group B. Their bigs guarded the paint to prevail against Jose Rizal University, 85-71, with Jimboy Estrada putting up 20 points.

The Altas' Quest for Redemption

Perpetual Altas were looking to bounce back from an upset loss after a slim defeat against San Sebastián College-Recoletos, 62-61. They hope to regroup and come out stronger in their next game.

Meanwhile, Lyceum Pirates are struggling to pick up another win in Pool A. They fell to Mapua last Friday and now have to climb the standings for a better placement heading into the next round.

Conclusion

The NCAA has made the right decision in postponing its games due to Typhoon Uwan. Safety must always come first, especially when it comes to student-athletes and spectators involved. We look forward to seeing how these teams respond to the rescheduled matches once the storm passes.
