6 Points: AdMU vs. dLSU (Round 2)

Ateneo 74, La Salle 57

-Revenge is a dish best served damn cold... at the right place, the right time, and the right circumstance. It was a Blue Sunday as the Blue Eagles took advantage of their hot shooting and La Salle's cold spells to pull away as early as the second half.
-By now, it is obvious who the next King Eagle will be. Chipping in 22 points, with four out of five shots from behind the arc. He also played great defense, picking a few pockets from the terribly lousy La Salle guards and making significant defensive stops throughout the game.
-In Nico Salva's absence, there is Art dela Cruz. The rookie of the year candidate stepped up and had his big double-double performance with 10 points and 10 boards. His unblockable left ook shot is something that reminds us of how afraid everyone was five years ago when Mac Cardona holds the ball.
-The Blue Squad should be happy with how the game went, from start to end. The Blue Eagles' first string was able to rest late in the second and third quarters without anything to be worried about. The bench, led by dela Cruz and Emman Monfort were able to hold on to the big lead, even extending it to 25.
-For the information of everyone, Ateneo's win over La Salle extended the season winning streak to six, three of those being blow out games (including this). This is a new team, very different from Season 72, but with the same determination to grab another championship before the Slaughterhouse commences.
-The referees ought to be given lessons on making good foul calls. Jovet Mendoza scoring 20 points, most of those from the charity stripe? Oh, come on.
