THE Ateneo De Manila University dug deep into its championship experience as it subdued University of Santo Tomas (UST), 86-79, in Game Two of the finals to complete a three-peat and a historic sweep in Season 82 University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Holding a precarious 67-66 lead early in the fourth quarter, the Blue Eagles showed nerves of steel in unleashing a 16-5 run to take the bite out of the Growling Tigers and seal their third title in as many years.

Ateneo wrote history as it achieved the first 16-game season sweep in the UAAP in the Final 4 era.
