JR Isaga

 

 

 

MANILA, Philippines – The Ateneo Blue Eagles rode a massive third-quarter storm to drub the UE Red Warriors, 85-68, in the UAAP Season 82 men's basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, September 25.

The Blue Eagles – unbeaten in 16 games since October 10, 2018 – stayed solo on top at 6-0 and moved within a win of a first-round sweep.

Ange Kouame dropped 16 points on top of 12 rebounds and 3 blocks while Thirdy Ravena also collected 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks to lead Ateneo. 

After leading by just a point at the half, the Blue Eagles then virtually made it a no contest in the 3rd after a massive 23-5 run capped off by an Adrian Wong triple for a 57-40 lead.

The two-time defending champions then kept their foot on the gas as they led by as many as 22 points, 69-47, off another Wong long bomb with 53 ticks left in the frame. 

Wong finished with 11 points, 9 coming from three-point range.

The in-form Rey Suerte and the rest of the Warriors tried their best to make a comeback in the 4th, but only got as near as 17, 63-80, with two minutes left in regulation. 

Suerte finished with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks to pace UE.
