The Eagles captured 71st UAAP Basketball Crown


Congratulations to the Ateneo De Manila University for winning the 71st UAAP Basketball Championship.

They just sweep the Green Archers in the UAAP Finals.

After six long years of waiting and a 2006 disappointing Finals Appearance, it is high time for the Blue Eagles to celebrate after crushing their arch rival Green Archers, 62-51 in Game 2 of the Finals.

After scoring only two points in Game 1, Chris Tiu scored 16 points to lead the Blue Eagles in his final year.

On the other hand, season MVP Rabeh Al Hussaini after scoring 31 points in Game 1,was limited to only seven points due to foul trouble.

Meanwhile, Nonoy Baclao was named Finals MVP primarily due to his defensive skills he had shown in the Finals.

La Salle was held to only four points in the fourth quarter.

And it looks like Coach Franz Pumaren was sour graping blaming the lost on the officiating. Maybe he have forgotten the reason why he got to the Finals was due to bad officiating that befalls the Tamaraws in their knockout game, gaining the twice to beat incentive.

Let the celebration begins for the Blue Eagles.

To all the Green Archers out there, remember that Basketball is a game, you win some, you lose some.
