Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia --- Guangdong University of China scored a masterful 95-66 victory over National Taiwan University of Arts in the finals of the 8th Asian University Basketball Championship held at the Binutlu Municipal Stadium in Sarawak, Malaysia.
 
With 6-foot-8 twins Ren Jun Fei and Ren Jun Wei, 6-9 Li Yuan Yu and 6-11 Da Lai Wu combining for 53 points, the Chinese totally dominated the Taiwanese from start to finish to capture the AUBC title once held by Hua Qiao University of China in 2007.   
 
Da Lai Wu, a native of Mongolia, and brothers Ren Jen Fei and Ren Jen Wei will see action in the 26th Summer Universiade in Shenzhen, China in August where the Philippines is one of 24 participants in men’s basketball.

Taiwan was overwhelmed by China’s tremendous height advantage and was unable to keep pace with its opponents.  The Taiwanese were bannered by Lai Kuo Wei, who scored 21 points, and Hsiao Shun Yi, who added 19.
 
Meanwhile, the University of the East (UE) of the Philippines routed Malaysia, 85-67, to grab third place in the prestigious tournament held annually.
 
Paul Zamar topscored for the Philippines with 20 points, including a pair of three-point shots that allowed his team to pull away from the Malaysians, who had beaten the Filipinos in first-round action.

Three other players scored in double digits for the Jerry Codiñera-coached UE Red Warriors – Adrian Santos, 18,Benjamin Zosa, 11, and John Michael Noble, 10.



UE’s trip was made possible by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP)and the Federation of School Sports Association (FESSAP), the latter of which is the local university sports body recognized by the Federation of International University Sports (FISU), the organizer of the Summer Universiade and World University Championship.
 
Attending the 8th AUBC closing ceremonies were AUBF and BAP secretary general Graham Chua Lim, who represented BAP President Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and AUBF president Shin Dong Pa of Korea, Malaysian Education Deputy Minister Dato' Saifuddin Bin Abdullah, Bintulu Basketball Association (BBA) chairman Wong Hong Gouk and  president Lawrence Hii, organizer Tan Kee Hian and Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) vice president Ling Kuok Kai.

The tournament was further boosted by the support of FIBA-Asia officials.

HUAQIAO CAPTURES 6th AUBC TITLE
by Henry Liao

CEBU CITY - Huaqiao University of China exacted revenge against its elimination-round tormentor, the University of the Visayas, Saturday night with an 82-76 victory over the Green Lancers in the finals of the Asian University Basketball Championship at the Cebu Coliseum.

Huaqiao, which earlier dropped a 67-63 decision to UV, got off to a slow start, surrendering the game's first five points and trailing by four, 11-7, in the early goings. However, the Fujian-based international school scored 14 consecutive points bridging the first and second quarters to take a 10-point lead, 21-11, on Malaysian student-playmaker Guganeswaran Batumalai's inside snipings.

UV came roaring back to deadlock the score at 23-all but Zhang Jiabin connected on a three-pointer as the Chinese regained the lead, 26-23, and ignited another 8-0 run to move ahead, 31-23.

Halftime score was 37-32 in favor of Huaqiao. The Chinese enjoyed their biggest lead, 68-55, midway through the fourth period. The Lancers trimmed the deficit to 74-71, on Cincoflores' three-point play at the 2:35 mark.

Successive baskets by Yu Xiang and Batumalai, gave Huaqiao a seven-point cushion, 78-71, and eventually sealed the outcome.

Huaqiao, which placed third in last year's AUBC competitions in Daet,
Camarines Norte, had four players in double figures.

Yu Xiang totaled 19 points. Batumalai, voted the tournament's MVP,
collected 17, followed by Zhang's 14 (including a dozen from the
three-point area) and Jiang Xinxin's 12. Chee Li Wei, a 6-7 Malaysian whose family moved to Fujian seven years ago, had four points, five rebounds and five blocks.

Cincoflores and 6-11 Fil-Am Gregory Slaughter each had 15 points for the Green Lancers, who are the reigning seven-time champions in the local CESAFI league.

In the battle for third place, Southwestern University waltzed to a 105-93 win over South Korea's Hanyang University.

The championship was supported by Burlington Industries, Wilson as the official ball, Summit Mineral Water, Healthy Options, Spring Natural Water, Hotel Fortuna, Casino Alcohol, Omega Pain Reliever, Everlast, McDavid Sports.

The Championship trophy to Huaqiao University was awarded by Asian University Basketball Federation (AUBF) Vice President and former Asian University Sports Federation (AUSF) Secretary General Dr. Ekodjatmiko Sukarso and BAP President Prospero “Butch” Pichay, together with China Consul General He Shi Jing, Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) Vice Chairman David Ong, Mayor Celestino Martinez, BAP Regional Director Lorenzo Sy, Commissioner Felix “Boy” Tiukinhoy of Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc.

Huaqiao University as one of the top contender of the 6th Asian University Basketball Championship."

 Huaqiao University, one of the leading men's teams in the China University Basketball Association (CUBA) in the last four seasons, will compete in the 6th Asian University Basketball Championship to be held in Cebu City from July 5-12. 2008.

Based in the province of Fujian, Huaqiao is among the best international universities in the People's Republic of China with more than 30,000 students.

       The school captured the CUBA title in 2003.

    It will be Huaqiao University's second straight appearance in the AUBC, which was established in 1998. A year ago, in Daet, Camarines Norte, the Chinese team placed third behind South Korea's Sangmu University and local bet Rizal Technological University.
       
     Among the top dignitaries to grace the eight-day AUBC competitions is Dr. Carl Menky Ching. Considered the "Father of Asian basketball," Ching, a former FIBA president who is now the FIBA's honorary life president, will be the special guest of honor and speaker during the opening ceremonies on July 5.


     Honorable Prospero "Butch" Pichay, the BAP and BAP-SBP president, and Congressman Luis Villafuerte, the chair of the BAP and BAP-SBP, and BAP-SBP Vice Chairman Wilson Young and BAP SBP Executive Director Christian Tan,  will personally welcome Ching.

 All-time South Korean great Shin Dong Pa, the president of Asian University Basketball Federation (AUBF) that has a membership of more than 30 countries, will formally open the games following an inspiration talk to the participating teams.

      Shin, a deadly shooting forward during his heyday with the South Korean national team during the 1960s and early 1970s, is currently the vice president of the Korea Basketball Association (KBA), which sent Hanyang University to the Philippines for its first AUBC appearance here.

       "We will show our brand of hospitality to the students from powerhouse China and South Korea and our cultural exchange program and friendship among our university students," said Pichay, who is the prime mover of this prestigious event in cooperation with BAP-SBP regional director Lorenzo Sy and with support from affiliate member Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) President Tisha Abundo and the Cebu based league - Cebu School Athletic Foundation Inc (CESAFI) under its commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy.

      AUBF has been recognized by the Asian University Sports Federation since 1998. The inaugural tournament was held in the Philippines during the time of Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chair Philip Ella Juico and among in attendance was AUSF Secretary General Dr. Ekodjatmiko Sukarso of Indonesia.

     The winner of the 1st AUBC tournament in 1998 was the University of Manila (UM) under veteran coach Ato Tolentino. The Hawks beat Chinese-Taipei in the finals that year.

       The 6th AUBC Championship unwraps on July 5 with a 5:00 p.m. game at the Cebu Coliseum. There wil be out-of-town games in nearby Cebu cities like Bogo and Lapu-Lapu cities.
