Ateneo 68, UST 56
-First things first: Justin Chua. With his advantage over the UST frontcourt guys combined, he was able to score off kickouts and even drove down the lane for a weird layup. He really was someone we need in times like these. Beef up like Jumbo, and you'll be a formidable big man.
-Norman Black's frontcourt combo seemed unusual for the spectator. However, it has proved to be useful, considering that it responded to the need to neutralize UST undersized big men.
-Emman Monfort, after becoming the unlikely hero against the Falcons, slightly turned the tables after doing a "Vujacic." The Eagles should have pulled away early if not for that.
-For this season, digging deep into the bench and tapping all those the Eagles really need in particular situations would prove helpful not just this season, but in the future as well. Perhaps a way of building the next "power team"? Maybe.
-Eric Salamat ought to rest and play limited minutes. His injury restricted him to play his game, as he was left limping after breaks. Good job with his swipes, though.
-This is the game that the Season 72 fans miss. We have to accept that we got too used to winning by a blowout. Let this be a message that it can still happen. But then, discipline is what we need.
