Baldwin calls Ateneo team immature after biggest UAAP loss

Ateneo Blue Eagles' head coach Tab Baldwin experienced his most significant defeat in the UAAP, losing to the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons with a score of 75-47.

The loss dropped Ateneo's standing to 3-8 in the league, with three games remaining in the season.

Baldwin attributed the team's poor performance to immaturity and inexperience, particularly during a crucial 15-0 run by UP in the third quarter that led to a 30-point deficit.

He emphasized the need for his young players to be more confrontational and defiant on the court rather than folding under pressure.

Baldwin stressed that the team must self-reflect and understand that they cannot simply hope for the opponent to play poorly when their toughness is challenged.

Despite the disappointing loss, Baldwin urged his team to move forward and try to reach the Final Four.
