UAAP Season 73 Finals Game 1: Ateneo Blue Eagles beat FEU Tamaraws, with 72-49

Both the ADMU (Ateneo) Blue Eagles and FEU Tamaraws were agressive during Game 1 of the UAAP Season 73 Finals held this afternoon at the Araneta Coliseum.

But Ateneo proved too strong for FEU as they dominated all quarters of the game and finished with a big 23-lead.

The final scores were 49-72 with Ateneo's Kirk Long as the Best Player scoring 14 points.

Points earned in every quarter:
1st Q: FEU 8, ADMU 26
2nd Q: FEU 13, ADMU 16
3rd Q: FEU 17, ADMU 18
4th Q: FEU 11, ADMU 12

It was a major major disappointment on the part of the Tamaraws because they're leading this season, they won over the Eagles in their past 2 games before the finals and sport analysts picked them to win the finals.

But only to show on today's game that they're not yet ready to beat the defending the champion, atleast on Game 1 of the best-of-3 finals and they still have Game 2 happening on Thursday to redeem themselves and prove that they're the best team of the UAAP Season 73.

As I've said in my previous posts, Ateneo already has the championship experience being in the finals for the 3rd straight year now and it won't be easy for FEU to win this year's championship.
