THE BLUE Eagles, declawed and hobbled, may have sent crashing back to the ground but they vowed to pick up the pieces, rise up and soar anew to greater heights — sooner than later.
For only the first time in four seasons, the Ateneo kingdom collapsed and paved the way for the new UAAP king in the University of the Philippines after a heartbreaking 72-69 overtime loss in Game 3 of the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball finals.
“We’ll lick our wounds and say goodbye to an outstanding group of seniors. They have final exams now and very soon we’ll be back on the court preparing for the next season,” said coach Tab Baldwin in the aftermath of Ateneo’s fall as the three-time reigning champion. This season alone, Ateneo appeared dominant as ever with a 13-0 start only to be foiled by the Fighting Maroons in the tailend of the elims to miss out on an automatic finals berth.
For Mr. Baldwin, UP’s destiny prevailed and served as too much of a mountain to scale for their four-peat bid that was supposedly a swan song for their seniors Gian Mamuyac, Tyler Tio, Raffy Verano and Jolo Mendoza.
