'I just have to say that this schedule is brutal.' Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin does not expect the Blue Eagles to accomplish another undefeated UAAP campaign. UAAPSeason84
MANILA, Philippines – Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin does not expect the Blue Eagles to accomplish another undefeated UAAP campaign.
“I’ve said this at the beginning, I thought it would be almost impossible to go without a defeat through this season and I still think it is a remote possibility,” said Baldwin on Saturday, April 23. But due to the pandemic, the league had a two-year layoff and returned with a compressed basketball season. Season 84 kicked off in the last week of April and is scheduled to end in the second week of May, with all teams playing every game day.“I think it is really unfair to everybody because it is just very difficult for the players and the coaching staff to maintain a high standard of performance and that is really what the fans want, that is what everybody wants.”“Everybody is exhausted.
Prior to their win over the Bulldogs, the Blue Eagles set a record for the biggest winning margin since the computerization of UAAP stats in 2003 after aThat blowout only padded the already impressive winning margin Ateneo owns this season, which now stands at an average of 17.5 points.
