The UST Growling Tigresses had ended their 13-year finals curse when they ousted the Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws in the stepladder semifinals in Season 82 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) last November.
They advanced to the finals but lost the title to six-time champions National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs.
The NU Lady Bulldogs also conducted tryouts here in Cebu last January 25 and 26, and attracted more than a hundred lady hoopsters not only from Cebu but also from neighboring Visayas areas.
