Ateneo de Manila gave University of the East a master class on how to deliver a knockout punch.
After a rusty start, the Blue Eagles stepped on the gas to roar to an 85-68 victory over the Red Warriors to stay unscathed in Season 82 University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) men’s basketball tournament Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Blue Eagles found themselves trailing in the first half, 34-35, but outscored the Red Warriors in the third period, 35-15, to seize control of the game and never looked back to stay on top of the standings with a 6-0 win-loss mark.

Six-foot-10 Ivorian Angelo Kouame led the defending champions with 16 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks while Thirdy Ravena added 15 point, five boards and four assists.
“For whatever reason, our first half was something that we have to learn from and then forget about it and move on,” said Blue Eagles head coach Tab Baldwin, whose wards took it easy following that third-quarter outburst.
“Teams are going to pick you apart, they are going to analyze it and they are going to try and figure out how to counter what you are doing and we should anticipate that,” he added.
Former Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. standout Rey Suerte, the hero in UE’s stunning 89-88 win over La Salle, paced his team with 15 points, six rebounds and six assists while Chris Conner added nine markers for the Red Warriors, who dropped to 1-5.
Ateneo entered the fourth period with a 69-50 advantage and Pat Maagdenberg’s back-to-back baskets gave them a 76-54 lead with 6:39 remaining. UE never had a serious run since then.
