Mason Amos fired 19 points and hit a bunch of clutch shots in the extra period as the Blue Eagles prevented the erstwhile unbeaten Fighting Maroons from sweeping the opening round in a finals rematch of Season 85. With the game tied at 85-85, Amos scattered 7 points in a pivotal 9-2 run that practically clinched Ateneo its first consecutive wins of the season and fourth in seven games.
Churning out a double-double with 10 rebounds, Amos drained a short stab and a stepback three-pointer in succession – both over fellow rookie Francis Lopez – then converted a layup for a 94-87 advantage. The Blue Eagles ended the first round at third place despite finishing with the same 4-3 card as rival La Salle after beating the Green Archers earlier in the season.Delfin Dioquino dreamt of being a PBA player, but he did not have the skills to make it.
