RCadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines - Kumamada sina roo­kie Arvin Tolentino, Kie­fer Ravena at Chris New­some para ihatid ang Ateneo De Manila University sa 86-75 panalo la­ban sa University of the Philippines sa 77th UAAP men’s basketball tournament kahapon sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.

Nagposte si Tolenti­no ng 20 points kasunod ang 19 ni Ravena at 18 ni Newsome para sa ikatlong sunod na ratsada ng Ateneo.

Kumpara sa unang da­lawang panalo ng Blue Eagles, hindi nila naipagpag ang Fighting Maroons.

Buhat sa 23-21 benta­he sa first period ay ki­nuha ng Ateneo ang 63-49 kalamangan sa dulo ng third quarter bago nakalapit ang UP sa 67-71 agwat sa huling 4:47 minuto ng final canto.

Nagsalpak si Ravena ng isang three-point shot kasunod ang putback ni To­lentino para sa 11-1 ata­ke ng Blue Eagles at tuluyan nang angkinin ang tagumpay.

“Defensively, against Kie­fer he had to bleed for his points and also I think we were a step slower than they were. That’s the reason why I really on the onset wanted them to feel that the La Salle win we had is the same as UP,” sa­bi ni Ateneo coach Bo Pe­rasol.

Nalasap ng Fighting Maroons ang kanilang ika-24 dikit na kamalasan.

Pinamunuan ni Kyles Lao ang UP sa kanyang 16 points kasunod ang 10 ni JR Gallarza.

Sa ikalawang laro, ti­nalo ng nagdedepensang De La Salle University ang National University, 57-55, para sa kanilang unang panalo matapos ang 0-2 panimula.

Kumonekta si Jason Per­kins ng isang jump shot sa huling 6.0 segundo para sa pananaig ng Green Archers sa Bulldogs.

“We still have to find ways to execute things especially because of the injury of Thomas Torres, we are still trying to find out what to do,” ani coach Juno Sauler.

Nagtala si Perkins ng 14 markers para sa La Salle, habang nag-ambag ng 13 si Norbert Torres.
