August 9, 2008 -- Today, the Blue Eagles got their revenge from the team who gave them their first loss from this season. The Eagles won their first 2nd round elimination game from the Tamarraws, and still occupy the solo lead with 7-1 (W-L) ranking.
The both teams gave a very impressive game. At the 1st half of the game it was the Tamarraws who lead. FEU threw a few perimeter shots and aggressive drives to the basket that let them dominate the 1st few minutes of the 1st half. They didn't let the Eagles to take over the lead. Yet, the Eagles were striving harder and harder as the time goes. The fouls gave by FEU let the Eagles to be left only by 2 points.It may also give them motivation that they can come back. Until before the 2nd quarter ended, the Blue Eagles tied the the game with only more than 30 seconds left. The first attempt of the Eagles to get the lead was not successful but still they got the offensive rebound. It was only about the last 22 seconds of the 1st half and the ball was in the hands of "The Clutch", Chris Tiu. He sets a play that seems familiar :D. Chris Tiu pass the ball to Jai Reyes and he threw a big 3-pointer just like in their game against the UST Growling Tigers. That was one of the many highlights from the game. It's actually a breath taking one. A very nice play. The both of them
(Chris Tiu and Jai Reyes) should get the credit for that.
When the game enters the 2nd half, it seems that there are new Eagles playing against FEU. All of them were playing great. Even the guys from the bench were offering a very nice perfomance. But it was truly Chris Tiu, Rabeh Al-Hussaini, Ryan Buenafe and Eric Salamat who gave such an exceptional game. In fact in the 4th quarter of the game, Ateneo became more aggressive in their defense and of course also to their offense. Chris Tiu gave a few 3-pointers and a great basket drives same with Eric Salamat. Ryan Buenafe and Rabeh Al-Hussaini also showed a terrific domination under the basket. It was very entertaining. And of course the ATENEO BLUE EAGLES won the game.Still all I can say: There is still one color to celebrate now and that's BLUE!!!
ANIMO ATENEO!!!
ANIMO BLUE EAGLES!!!
ONE BIG FIGHT!!!
