The Eagles stake their eight-game winning streak in their 4 p.m. encounter with the Falcons – a teal still reeling from a shock defeat to University of the East over the weekend.

While Ateneo has a bevy of explosive players, coach Tab Baldwin wants to win through their defense just like what they did in their 66-52 demolition of the University of Santo Tomas Tigers.

Quick, smart, and tough, the Eagles threw the UST shooters out of their comfort zones to win pulling away.

“We need to continue to understand that there are more ways to attack our defense,” he said. “And these coaches in our league are going to continue to probe and look for those ways. So there’s no time to rest, no time to look backward. Only to look forward to the next game.”

Thirdy Ravena and Ange Kouame remain the Eagles’ dynamic duo at the frontline and will get ample support from SJ Belangel and Matt Nieto.

For Adamson, it would be about regaining composure and producing a different outcome from its 70-52 defeat to At
