On July 19, 2008 -- Ateneo De Manila University won their 4th win. They are now having the solo top spot for UAAP Season 71 men's basketball team. They are the only team who is undefeated in this season(and i hope it will continue until the end).
This game against UP is a pretty tough one. It ended at 83-66 in favor of ADMU. It was a big 17-point lead but then I can say that UP did a pretty good game yet not enough. UP fought with full courage until the end and i think they deserve an acknowledgement for that. It's actually always a run for Ateneo yet UP just kept on coming back with a few burst. It was not until the last 2 minutes of the game.
I can say that it is a big help that Ateneo has a full of talented roster. Coach Norman Black can get a big player whenever he wanted(a very deep bench, I would say!). Having rookies, who play like veterans, plus a great(way)veteran players who can actually cope to be a very tough inside the court. In particular to Chris Tiu, Nonoy Baclao, Jai Reyes, Eric Salamat, Yuri Escueta, Rabeh Al-Hussaini and more. I truly believe that Ateneo has the deepest set of bench players in UAAP, if we compare it to the other teams in the league. I should say that ADMU is now the toughest team in this league in this day and age. Well, actually that game was pretty composed for ADMU. Officiating of the game was better than the usual(probably because of the suspension given to one of the referees...LOL!!! :D).
A celebration for the 4th winning streak of the Eagles is definitely on. And the only dominating color and the color to celebrate right now is still BLUE.
ANIMO ATENEO!!!
ANIMO BLUE EAGLES!!!
ONE BIG FIGHT!!!
