They had no business being here. During the summer, the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles men’s basketball team lost three vital cogs to graduation, seven to academic deficiencies, and
The Ateneo Paya 11 under Basketball Team finished second runner-up at the Got Skills Showdown 2014, held at the Xavier School covered courts. They were pitted against Chiang Kai Shek, Marist, ISB Lucena, St. Jude, Ateneo SBP B, Xavier and La Salle SBP A.
Being part of a champion team is a feat in itself, and Ateneo Blue Eagle Von Pessumal, with his dapper look and sharp skills, continues to live up to his team’s winning tradition.
What everyone knew before the game was that De La Salle University (DLSU) has not won against Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) for quite some time. In the UAAP, it’s been two years since the Archers shot the Eagles down to the ground. This year was different in several ways.
In a surprising move, the brass sections used by member schools of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) have been banned from playing inside the venues of the basketball games. This took effect in the opening game of the Ateneo Blue Eagles against the National University Bulldogs last June 30 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. At presstime, it wasn’t clear whether this was imposed by the UAAP board or the MOA Arena management.
