This is it. The Final Four! This is what we’ve been waiting for the entire season! (Just kidding, there’s something even bigger later on. But we’ll get to that later.) But yeah. I’m going to cover the UP vs Ateneo game today.
The first quarter was very low-scoring. Nobody scored until an Ateneo player named Chris Koon (sometimes Westernised to Chris Goon by foreign news) made a layup. It took UP long enough to score. More than four minutes, to be exact. It took another minute until another two points were scored. Fast forward to the end of the first quarter, and the score was 11-7 in favor of Ateneo. Yes, for real. You’re not dreaming.
The second quarter was a bit better. The start was still slow, but it didn’t take too long for them to score. It was also close throughout. Well, there’s not much else to say here. But Ateneo remained ahead 25-22 heading into the second half.
The third quarter was also quite close. The game was tied at 29, but then Ateneo made a three. It was a battle for the lead for the next few possessions. However, UP went on a 9-3 run to end the third quarter up 42-37, showing signs of pulling away.
The fourth quarter was very boring. UP was pulling away, making shot after shot after shot, and with Ateneo even air balling a technical free throw. UP won 57-46, meaning that Ateneo will miss the finals for the first time since 2015.
So, what was that even bigger event? It's the finals. La Salle already beat NU, meaning that they’ll face UP. This is the first time that matchup is in the finals. Okay, now I’m done. Bye!
