NU's defense, too much for Ateneo as the Bulldogs wins 70 to 60

NU knows that the key players for Ateneo was Aaron Black and Thirdy Ravena so they focused their defense to those guys and successfully doing it by winning 70 to 60.

points in their first game.

Biggest factor on this game was the explosion of Matt Salem who scored 9 points in the 3rd quarter which led to NU'a dominance since then.

Rev Diputado led NU with 16 pointa while Ateneo's only bright spot is Michael Nieto who scored 14 points.
