It's not yet over for Ateneo de Manila University.
Photo: UAAPOn Wednesday, the Blue Eagles equalized the best-of-three finals series after taking down the University of the Philippines, 69-66, in Game 2 of the UAAP Season 84 Finals at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Katipunan-based squad limited the Fighting Maroons to just 12 points against their 20-point output to end the first half with the lead, 37-28. With the win, the series will have a do-or-die match on Friday and if Ateneo wins, it will be their fourth straight title. Should UP take Friday's game, it will be their third overall title, with the last one dating back to 1986.
