For 37 games since 2018, the Ateneo Blue Eagles have remained flawless.
The defending champions stretched their winning run on Saturday after beating NU Bulldogs 89-75 in UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Blue Eagles improved their record this season to 11-0 while dealing the Bulldogs their fourth straight loss for a 4-7 slate. NU has yet to win in the second round of eliminations.
Ateneo asserted its dominance early in the match for a 22-9 lead in the first quarter after a shot clock-beating basket by Tyler Tio.
