Back-up point guard Ian Espinosa pours in a game-high 15 points as the Ateneo Blue Eagles complete their undefeated run in the 2023 AsiaBasket Las Piñas Championship.
MANILA, Philippines – The Ateneo Blue Eagles completed their undefeated run and captured the 2023 AsiaBasket Las Piñas Championship crown after defeating the College of St. Benilde Blazers in a tight one, 60-57, at the Villar Coliseum on Sunday, July 30.
Tournament MVP Kai Ballungay posted a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds, while foreign student-athlete Joseph Obasa made his presence felt on the defensive end with 8 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 blocks. “We’re obviously very pleased that we came out victorious,” added Baldwin as Ateneo finished the tournament at 7-0.
The cold-blooded triple by Espinosa gave the Blue Eagles a much-needed two-possession advantage, 59-53, before back-to-back baskets by Miggy Corteza and Gozum pulled the Blazers back within just 3 points, 57-60, with only 46 seconds to go.
