ADMU 3-Peat: Ateneo Beats FEU (VIDEO) in UAAP Finals Game 2 for 3rd Straight Title

Ateneo de Manila University has scored a three-peat! AMDU defeated Far Eastern University (FEU) in the UAAP basketball championships to capture their third straight crown thus becoming the 5th team to achieve such a feat. Ryan Buenafe was the hero of the game as his three-point shot sealed the win for Ateneo, 64-59, with 22 seconds remaining. In all, Buenafe scored a season-high 23 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter to lead the Blue Eagles. The 2009 Rookie of the Year capped his performance with six rebounds to bag the finals MVP trophy.

Ateneo was seeded second in the league this season with FEU seeded first. In fact, the FEU Tamaraws almost dominated the league during the eliminations, and defeated Ateneo twice. But when it came to the finals, the Tamaraws had seemingly lost steam. They were totally outclassed in Game 1 of the best-of-three series, going down 49-72.

Ateneo is the 5th UAAP member school to have won at least 3 straight titles, joining FEU (2003-2005), University of Santo Tomas (1946-1949, 1951-1953 and 1993-1996), University of the East (1965-1971) and De La Salle University (1998-2001).
