The Thrilling Expedition of the vivo School Tour
The buzz surrounding the vivo 3 on 3 Basketball Challenge ignited when it was announced on social media back in September 2023, with Lyceum of the Philippines University being the first institution to be visited. Subsequent stops included the University of the Philippines – Diliman, Jose Rizal University, National University, De La Salle – College of St. Benilde, and concluding with De La Salle University – Manila.
It garnered a zealous response from students, resonating particularly well with basketball enthusiasts, prompting a rapid expression of interest to participate in this sports event, with over 80 registrants at each institution.
From this large pool of young sporty talents, each university only selected 24 players and fielded six teams that engaged in intense competition of athletic skills on the court to earn a place in the grand finals. In the end, two victorious teams from each school emerged to advance to the finals.
