Ateneo Two Wins Shy Of Sweep!

The UAAP seem to have it all this season. Exciting rookies. Revamped teams. Clutch performances. Late game heroics.

The one thing the UAAP doesn't seem to have is a team who can beat the Blue Eagles of the Ateneo De Manila.

The Blue Eagles toyed with the UP Fighting Maroons en route to a 73-58 victory, upping their record to a squeaky clean 12-0 slate. If Ateneo sweeps the elimination round, they automatically get seeded into the Finals, where they will enjoy a virtual 1-0 lead over their opponents in a best-of-five series.

That would most probably be the Adamson Falcons, who solidified their hold on second place by winning over the UE Red Warriors 76-57. The Falcons are now at 9-3 and aiming for a twice to beat advantage int he semifinal round.
