One Big Fight

It was a last minute decision to watch this game. Almost regretted watching because I had to park so far from the Big Dome, almost didn't get a decent ticket and boy, did the real FEU team show up. That was all in my mind with 1 minute left in the game and Ateneo was down 6 points after reigning MVP nailed a dagger 3 from the corner.

But thanks to Sir Erick Salonga, I got an Upper A ticket, ended up seated right smack in the middle of the coliseum and watched one of the wildest comebacks in UAAP history.

One for the books. I'm just thankful I got to witness this miracle win.
