6 Points: AdMU vs. UE

Ateneo 80, UE 73

-Just when you thought that everything's already sealed, the Warriors came out hot on shooting (which, stats would say, is an unlikely thing to happen considering the fact that the Red Warriors shot poorly from beyond the arc), while the Eagles just couldn't get good looks... until the fourth quarter.
-In this game we see how "important" Frank Golla is as part of the Eagles rotation, as well as his contribution on defense. Without him, UE big men Sam Razon and Ken Acibar continued to get good looks from inside, causing problems on Ateneo's frontcourt defense.
-The individual members of the Blue Squad gets better, while Eric Salamat gets his form back. Yes, it's the return of the Salute. He chipped in 23 points including two crucial three-pointers in the fourth to catch up with Paul Lee and the Red Warriors.
-Tiongson is the closer. Chongson is the loser.
-We should stop those sloppy first half performances. Seriously.
-And each member of the sixth man, as I see it, dislikes the possession arrow. Why can't we just have those Season 71-72 rules on ball possession?
