UAAP 76- Step 1

The Ateneo Blue Eagles have nabbed their first win on Uaap Season 76 at the expense of a gritty Adamson Soaring Falcons team, to the tune of 71-59. 

Jp Erram scored 12 points off of timely passes from Ateneo Wingmen. There was a noticeably crisper flow to the Defending Champs' on offense, predicated by more controlled ballhandling and on point passing. 

Adamson was paced by forward Jericho Cruz's 21 points. While the Falcons shooting was sharp to begin the game, it was the Eagles perimeter coverage and gang rebounding that helped stifle the now 2-2 Falcons' pick and pop attack. 

There is now a logjam at the lower wrung of the UAAP standings between La Salle, Adamson, UE, and potentially, Ateneo, which is looking to avoid missing the UAAP Final Four for the first time since 1997. 

More notes later.
