Ateneo 63, La Salle 66
-Part of the rebuilding process is the need for experimentation, and coach Norman Black did just that during this game. He experimented with various lineups to catch up with the Phoenix Suns-like play of DLSU.
-A closer. That is what we need. Perhaps this would be the worst game where Ateneo had the chance to win the game through a comforting 9-point lead. Someone has to step up and play both offense and defense. Besides the game being against La Salle, this was the most heartbreaking because the blue team never expected that the squad will lose.
-Kirk Long was the factor. A pump three, behind the back layup, and five fouls.
-Sam Marata took the opportunity to bring the lead to DLSU when Ateneo played sloppily.
-I think the 6th Men got used to winning too much. We have to cheer harder even in the midst of difficulties.
DLSU 66 – Webb 12, Marata 12, Atkins 9, Tampus 6, Andrada 6, de la Paz 5, Tolentino 5, Mendoza 5, Vosotros 3, Villanueva 2, Ferdinand 1, Paredes 0.
Ateneo 63 – Chua 16, Monfort 11, Long 9, Buenafe 7, Salamat 6, Salva 5, Golla 3, Escueta 2, dela Cruz 2, Austria 2, Tiongson 0, Gonzaga 0.

Monfort bobo.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Don't be too hard on him. He might just be in the process of accepting the fact that he is a crucial member of the team.
