WTF!? The Ateneo Blue Eagles lost Game 2--by 20 points! Ouch! What's more painful here is that won't be able to watch Game 3 live on Thursday--unless I am willing to miss a major quiz in Accounting. Well, I'm still thinking about it. Haha!

The Eagles' lack-luster performance was highlighted by Salamat's four points and Monfort's unsportsmanlike foul. The squad from Loyola shot below 40% in the field which converted into a total of 68 points.

I also noticed that most of their three-point attempts were a little bit off the mark. Rabeh was heavily guarded as the defense quickly collapses on him even before receives the ball. Everything was going sour for Ateneo while UE converted almost all of its possession on the other end.

Bench scoring was also a huge factor in the Ateneo loss. Hustle players like Tagarda and Duran from the bench gave UE the extension they needed in this series. Paul Lee waxed hot early in the game which allowed him to score almost at will in the game.

Overall, the Ateneo defense was very weak as they allowed UE to score 88 points. They should come back heavily on Game 3. They better not let me down! Haha!
