Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) maintained their undefeated record in the ongoing 82nd UAAP men’s basketball season following their 63-46 rout of Far Eastern University (FEU) last Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Angelo Kouame tallied 14 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks; while Adrian Wong added 13 points; and Ferdinand ‘Thirdy’ Ravena III scored 11 markers.
After a slow start, AdMU began to pull away in the third period with a Kouame triple putting them up 42-23. While FEU got to within 10, behind 51-41, AdMU replied with a 9-0 spurt to hold a 60-41 advantage late in the game.
“From the looks of it, we have to be a good defensive team since we can’t knock the ball down even in an ocean. That’s what we’re trying to do, to keep the offense of the opponents struggling,” said Blue Eagles head coach Tab Baldwin.
