One more win then we will advance to the Finals once again and we can defend our crown.
Unfortunately, we fell short. No buzzer beater by Belo saved us, no twice-to-beat advantage, no go-to-guy, no specific player that will do a clutch, no more minutes to do a major come back, just a few seconds to try our luck to beat them even by one point, two if we are lucky enough.
Last Saturday we won by one point after Thirdy throw that ball almost half court and it counts. Then they beat us by one point this time in overtime.
It hurts but not as much as it hurt during the 5-peat Era of Ateneo.
A day later I can finally watch the last play and there are mistakes but we can't correct it for the next game and there are couple of reasons why it did happen like it was a wise move that Thirdy didn't push through the basket and just wait for the time to expire because if he didn't do that, we are probably the one in the Finals again; the defense of Ateneo on that last play was also good that they were able to run to the other side of the court, fast.
One more thing after watching that last play, I now understand why people were disappointed on that play. I was disappointed too after watching it rather when we were there live.
For the past years, we've been breaking hearts of ADMU and DLSU but this time, it's them who broke ours but it doesn't hurt so much because it's their time now. That's why I assume that with all the issues during Game 1 you all wanted that and now living the "dream match up".
Overall, it was a very good F4 game match up between FEU and Ateneo since both game was just won by one point.
