Ateneo de Manila University caught a huge fish after dealing University of the Philippines its first loss of UAAP Season 86.
For Tab Baldwin, this was a great victory as they hope to mold their young squad to becoming as close as possible to the form of their championship roster last season.“It just feels good to win. We’ve been on the losing end a few times this year, that doesn’t feel good, so I can’t belittle the fact that we beat a team that’s six-and-zero.”
“We’re all learning. It was our third attempt to win in an overtime , so I guess, hopefully, we figured a few things out about composure.” But for the four-time UAAP champion coach, they should not be caught in the moment and instead must look at the bigger picture as the league heads into the second round of the season.
