Kiefer Ravena overcame an injury plagued season last year to win Season 77's MVP award
MANILA, Philippines – Coming off an injury-marred Season 76, Kiefer Ravena had something to prove. Not only did he bring the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles back from a miserable campaign to finish at the top of the eliminations, but he did so with the highest statistical achievements.
Ravena averaged 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists a game to earn 77.64 statistical points and Season 77’s Most Valuable Player award. Ravena, and a slew of the UAAP’s other top performers were presented with their individual awards at Smart Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, October 8 before Game 2 of the UAAP Finals between National University and Far Eastern University.
Ravena led Ateneo back to the Final Four before they were eliminate after two straight losses to National University.
Ravena also was named to the Mythical Five alongside teammate Chris Newsome, plus Jeron Teng of De La Salle University, Mac Bello of Far Eastern University and Karim Abdul of University of Santo Tomas.
Newsome and Ravena weren’t the only Ateneans to take home trophies, however.
Arvin Tolentino’s 8 points and 5 rebounds a game earned him the Rookie of the Year award. Tolentino’s shooting touch saw him jump to a hot start in first round of the eliminations before he cooled off.
Meanwhile, NU’s Troy Rosario took home the Most Improved Player award. Rosario’s 10.8 points and 8.7 rebounds led National University back to the UAAP Finals for the first time in 44 years and were a huge boost from last year’s 2.6 rebounds and 3.7 points average last season. – Rappler.com
