Gerry Abadiano's offensive onslaught against the Ateneo Blue Eagles Sunday was not a surprise, UP head coach Goldwin Monteverde said, as the guard unleashed his season-high against their Katipunan rivals.
Abadiano finished with 22 points, three rebounds and two assists in the Fighting Maroons' 65-60 win over Ateneo in their second round showdown, his highest scoring output so far in UAAP Season 86.
“I guess, I think any high school player, when he goes to college, there is a level of adjustment. He struggled, yes, but whatever I see in him now, I am not surprised,” Monteverde told reporters in Filipino after their 65-60 win over Ateneo. “We talked about this game, and the effort that we will give, that no matter what happens on the court, we are there. We are thankful that we got the victory,” he added.
