Eagles soar to 2nd straight win
Ateneo de Manila University defeated the University of the East 62-60 to secure their second straight win in the UAAP Season 88 men's basketball tournament.
The Blue Eagles wasted a chance to seal the deal by misfiring three of its last four free throws down the stretch, but UE anchor Precious Momowei missed the game-winning triple from centercourt.
One-and-done player Kymani Ladi hit the go-ahead three-pointer for Ateneo in the last 23 seconds, with Jared Bahay assisting.
Ladi led Ateneo with 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Waki Espina contributed 17 points.
This win gives Ateneo a 2-0 start, a significant turnaround from their dismal 0-3 start last season.
Coach Tab Baldwin expressed that it wasn't their best performance but acknowledged the team's gutsy win.
