“Obviously, it’s very welcome to be back on top. These Blue Eagles had to work harder than previous champion Blue Eagles. There was a lot of things that happened this year that happened that kind of flew within radar,” sabi naman ni Ateneo head coach Tab Baldwin.

[But] it really made the championship one that is against all odds. [UP] they came back with virtually an intact roster. I think today’s game was a classic example of a heavyweight fight. You gotta knock out the championship. First half was close to aknockoutpunch, but with UP it’s not. They foughtback," sabi pa nito.
