UAAP: Divine Adili return gives Ateneo a much-needed boost
Ateneo Blue Eagles secured a crucial 78-74 victory against the University of the East, snapping a five-game losing streak and improving their chances of reaching the UAAP Season 88 Final Four.
The return of key player Divine Adili, after a three-game absence due to back problems, proved instrumental in Ateneo's win.
Adili delivered a strong performance in his comeback, recording a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds in 25 minutes of play.
Head coach Tab Baldwin highlighted Adili's significant impact, particularly in addressing the team's struggles with scoring in the paint and rebounding.
Baldwin noted a substantial increase in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentages with Adili back on the court.
Adili had not practiced with the team since a week before the season started until this week, making his performance even more impressive.
