WEDNESDAY'S headlines were all about how the Ateneo Blue Eagles retained the UAAP championship against the UP Fighting Maroons in Season 81, 99-81; Thirdy Ravena’s second straight Finals MVP performance (38 pts 6 reb 6 ast 3 stl); and Paul Desiderio’s rousing farewell in his college basketball career (15 pts 7 reb 3 ast 2 stl).
Lost in the Ateneo revelry and UP regret is both teams’ on-court fashion in front of Game Two’s record-setting 23,471 attendees.
The Fighting Maroons may have been swept by the Blue Eagles, but Bright Akhuetie and Co. were able put up a better fight when it came to the shoe game.
