Ateneo clinched its third straight victory against the UST Tigers, 93-77 in the UAAP men’s basketball tournament at the Philsports Arena the other day. Prior to the match-up, both schools held an unbeaten record in the first round of the recently opened season.
The 5’6” Eman Monfort gave a big showing when its main man Rabeh Al-Hussaini struggled with foul trouble. He had a very impressive game clutching 20 points that includes explosive six treys.

With a very good start this season, the Blue Eagles seem to not miss Chris Tiu’s presence on the bench. Tiu has already completed 5 seasons of UAAP and is slated to move on. Ateneo is gunning for a second championship with Rabeh Al Hussaini leading the pack. Hussaini was last season’s MVP and was a powerful element in the championship win.
DLSU this year will be missing the sparkplug JV Casio and another frontliner in Rico Maierhofer.
