La Salle wins 65-60!!!!
De La Salle proved mathematicians everywhere wrong, when they won only their 2nd out of the 5 meetings with Ateneo this season.
These 2 wins are the most crucial; the first win gaining them a twice to beat advantage, while the 2nd propelled them to the Finals.
Ateneo can keep their elimination round wins and only 1 of 2 sorely-needed triumphs.
De La Salle had the chance to go the Finals last Thursday, since they only needed to win once in the stepladder format to advance. Sadly, Ateneo pulled the rug from under them, squeaking by with a 65-64 decision.
The game today avenges that loss. The prize: a chance to win the Finals, an opportunity to win the championship after a year-long Sabbatical.
Props go to Cholo Villanueva, who with his cool head, was able to douse cold water on Ateneo's hot streaks. Rico Maierhoffer also hustled his heart out at the opposite ends of the court. Jvee Casio also nonchalantly sank both freethrows at the dying seconds of the ballgame, to make it 64-60. Nonoy Baclao cut the lead to two in the previous play, hitting a very surprising three-pointer to make it 62-60.
More on this tomorrow!
Coincidentally, my above equation is true in another aspect: La Salle, as the No.2 seed, edges out Ateneo, the #3.
I gotta sleep!
