FEU Tamaraws beat Ateneo Blue Eagles in UAAP Season 73

The FEU Tamaraws won over the Ateneo Blue Eagles 72 - 69 for their first game in the UAAP Season 73 Men's Senior Basketball tournament.

Sophomore RR Garcia's game-long scoring brilliance spearheaded FEU Tamaraw's attack while veterans Reil Cervantes & Aldrech Ramos provided timely hustle plays to turn back a formidable Ateneo side.

Despite losing big men Al Hussaini and Noy Baclao to graduation, the Blue Eagles was just one basket short of sending the game to overtime. Niko Salva's undergoal stab was just short to tie the game.

FEU is one the favorites my pick to take the crown this season although I haven't seen the likes of DLSU or UE play.

Defending Ateneo Blue Eagles is seeking a three-peat in UAAP Basketball while DLSU is UAAP Season 73's host.
