SJ Belangel and BJ Andrade waxed hot and fired triples in the third period as Ateneo cruised past De La Salle, 75-68, for its eighth straight win in the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City Tuesday night, April 12.Andrade and Belangel caught fire and displayed their three-point shooting prowess in front of 11,124 spectators, mostly clad in pink, to stretch the Blue Eagles’ lead by as many as 17 points midway through the third quarter.
The Green Archers fought back in the payoff period behind the efforts of Evan Nelle and Kurt Lojera but veterans Gian Mamuyac and Ange Kouame showed poise and responded with their respective baskets.
