The Blue Eagles are 5-0
Ateneo rolled onto its fifth straight win in as many tries with an 82-75 decision versus the UE Red Warriors. It was one thing to return to the stands to see our team play live again--it was my first live game since graduating from college--but heck, it sure is hella better seeing them winning while I'm at it. Damn, I can't wait for next weekend!
Obviously, with a league-leading 5-0 record, the Eagles look poised to crack the Final Four again this season. I really like our chances to go even further. Close wins against weaker teams notwithstanding, I think it still merits some credit that our boys still manage to pull wins off even while struggling/failing to win convincingly. It was also only in this game that I've seen just how deep our roster actually is: with a ton of potential--if not talent just yet--in the backcourt and solid performers up front. Long-term thinking would lead me to worry about the voids that JC Intal and Doug Kramer will leave behind, but i'm sure Ateneo will come up with something soon (teehee). The important thing is that our Blue Eagles seem to be in superb shape this year.
*sigh* If only the Archers were around to make things even more exciting... (Speaking of whom, it seems rather interesting that majority of the UAAP men's ballgames are being held at a venue which is just a stone's throw away from
ONE BIG FIGHT!!!
(Ooh, by the way, I've already uploaded the UAAP clips i've kept from season 67 on YouTube. Check them out here. Enjoy!)

I feel sorry for Ken. I hope Coach Norman can somehow squeeze him into the rotation. His hustle and actual skills can really be used in the right situations.
It's just unfortunate (for Ken) that Zion has outplayed him for the only spot in the rotation that he can really cover in Black's system - the 3.
(Yes, Zion's really a 3-4 in our system, but let's face it - only JC, Chris and Zion are in the regular rotation that play the 3.)
