ICYMI: Kai Ballungay tows the Ateneo Blue Eagles to their fifth straight No. 1 seed with a tense finish past the Adamson Falcons, who will now dispute the last Final Four spot in a playoff against La Salle. UAAPSeason85
MANILA, Philippines – The Ateneo Blue Eagles finished the UAAP Season 85 elimination round with an all-important 66-61 win over the feisty Adamson Soaring Falcons to clinch their fifth straight top seed at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, November 30.
However, former Adamson high school star AP Manlapaz continued his torrid offensive breakout after having 10 third-quarter points and helped the Falcons continually inch closer down the stretch – peaking with a Cedrick Manzano layup with 1:42 left in regulation to get within one, 61-62, off an 11-2 run.
“We’re going to make sure that we don’t relax or let our guard down. We’re going to be ready with whomever wins between Adamson and La Salle.”
