Basketball Rivals

* UE Red Warriors, involved in the previous "Battle of the East", both the FEU and UE basketball teams dominate in said UAAP event from the 1950's up to the late 1980's, and also rivals in terms of number of championships won in UAAP basketball history.
* De La Salle Green Archers, the rivalry was sparked when the 1991 Final when La Salle's final game win was protested by the FEU after a Green Archer was admitted into the playing court after being disqualified. The UAAP Board upheld the protest and ordered the replay. La Salle did not show up, claiming to have won legitimately, and FEU was awarded the trophy. La Salle then had their victory parade pass through all UAAP schools - when they passed through the FEU campus, the motorcade was bombarded with debris. La Salle had to give up another trophy to FEU in 2004, when a two Green Archers were found to have falsified documents, thus awarding FEU, their Finals opponent, the trophy.UAAP Basketball Champions] The rivalry is unofficially known as the "Battle of the Greens", because both teams sport green in their uniforms.
