Like a phoenix from its ashes, the Blue Eagles of Ateneo de Manila University are making a strong comeback from a lackluster start in the ongoing University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 79 men’s basketball tournament. The blue and white squad from Loyola recently claimed its fifth win in a row after drubbing host University of Santo Tomas, 74-64. The 8-time league kings have done so well in the last few weeks that they’re now at solo second spot, just behind archrival De La Salle, and close to gaining the twice-to-beat incentive in the coming semis.
