My Two Cents
In my opinion, the UAAP teams are comparible to the strong international teams.
For example, UST plays a similar game to RUSSIA. They are very conservative with their plays. High balls on the left side. And quick to moderate slides to the right and open and quick sets to the middle. They rely heavily on their open spikers.
FEU on the other hand, Plays like CUBA. Both use the very technical and difficult 6-2 formation. They are not that tall, with some exemptions. But their plays are fairly intermediate but supported by the quickness of their hand and wrist action. Plus both teams are probably the most athletic. SEMANA reminds me of a shorter AGUERO.
ADAMSON reminds me of JAPAN. Very scrapy and innovative. The best floor defence. And very quick. They make up their lack of height by having the best over-all court sense and ball-handling skills.
DLSU reminds me of BRAZIL. All Spikers in the court can hit the ball from every position. Offensively, has the most options. Doesn't rely on one particular side of the net. But like BRAZIL, DLSU is very prone to errors and mental toughness. Both always seem to lose when it comes to critical games.
ADMU reminds me of the current ITALIAN team, with AGUERO of CUBA. Like ITALY, ADMU rely heavily on one particular player. AGUERO for ITALY, and CHARO SORIANO for ADMU. And both players are very reliable, and can hit from any position. Right, left, middle, and even form the back. Both teams are average when it comes to their playing style.
