The D Spot

Ateneo wins the first encounter with De La Salle in this Season’s UAAP Games, the last game in the First Round, with a score of 76 for Ateneo and 72 for La Salle.

In the last 20 seconds La Salle’s Bringas scored a 3-point shot to narrow Ateneo’s lead to only 1. Ryan Buenafe’s 2 free throws gave Ateneo a 3-point lead, but La Salle’s Bagatsing tied the game at 67 all, with 0.8 seconds remaining for an overtime.

There were 15,707 spectators–Araneta’s official count.

Both schools were in yellow. It’s only President Cory Aquino who could unite both rival teams–in solidarity. Before the game started Father Nemy Que of Ateneo and Father Bernie Oca said their prayers for President Cory, and paid tribute to her followed by the singing of Bayan Ko and the crowds chanting of Cory! Cory! Cory! For once, after 23 years it was like the spirit of EDSA all over again at the Araneta, this time the rival schools in one color–in yellow! as the theme of this season’s UAAP goes: 72nd season ONE COLOR ONE GOAL.
