The De La Salle Green Archers are the UAAP Champions for Season 70. They displayed dominance in the whole forty minutes, winning by nine, 73-64 over the UE Red Warriors, a team that swept the eliminations.

The Red Warriors had at least two weeks of rest, and that proved to have gone against them. They lose the swagger, and they were tentative in taking their shots. They were also forcing a lot of their shots from the three-point region.

The Archers, on the other hand, worked like a well-oiled machine, conquering the Warriors on both offense and defense. They fought tooth-and-nail against the Blue Eagles, and that worked for them, as they learned to work better as a team.

The title marks the sixth one for Franz Pumaren. He had four from 1998-2001, the fifth title in 2004, and his sixth this year, at the expense of his younger brother, Dindo Pumaren.
