ALLAN THE MAN

It’s a done deal: The Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles have officially declared Tab Baldwin as their new head coach.

The announcement was made on Monday afternoon (December 7) in a statement released by Ateneo president Fr. Jose Ramon “Jett” Villarin, SJ which was posted on the university's official website.

HERE IS THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The long wait is over. The FEU Tamaraws avoided blowing a 1-0 finals lead for a second straight year by beating the UST Growling Tigers, 67-62, in Game 3 of the 2015 UAAP Finals to win their first senior’s basketball title in 10 years on Wednesday, December 2, at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The Golden State Warriors are one of only two NBA teams in the modern era to begin a season 15-0 after beating the Denver Nuggets 118-105 on Sunday. Although the Nuggets stayed in the game through three quarters, Golden State turned the game into a blowout in the fourth.

The Warriors join the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols as the only teams to win their first 15 games and can set a new record on Tuesday with a home game against the Lakers. It's worth noting that the Rockets beat the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals that year.

Not many gave University of Santo Tomas a chance to get this far just a few months back. And the Tigers intend to keep proving the doubters wrong.

“This time I think we’re really ripe, we’re more mature,” said UST big man Karim Abdul. “This year is different.”
