Ateneo Clobbers UE Following A Lazy Start

 Ateneo Clobbers UE Following A Lazy Start

Ateneo (6-0) was gamely exchanging baskets with UE (0-6) in a 39-all first half then they got serious. With Ange Kouame imposing himself inside the lane, Ateneo beats up UE 94-72. Captain Ball Gian Mamuyac was spark this time when he scored 13 straight Ateneo points in the 3rd quarter as the Blue Eagles led 61-53. UE's scoring was sputtering at this time with Ateneo closing down their shooters from outside. Ateneo's bench also contributed as Joshua Lazaro scores on a fastbreak layup to make it 73-60 Ateneo. It was then Kouame again showed his might inside the paint, and together with SJ Belangel, they brought down the finishing touches to the game. Mamuyac and Koaume led Ateneo with 21 points each while Dave Ildefonso and Belangel both had 8. UE had Kyle Paranada and Harvey Pagsanjan scoring 15 points apiece.
