UAAP</figcaption></figure></div>ANTIPOLO -- (UPDATED) Ateneo de Manila University claimed a dominant victory over University of the East (UE), 84-50, to keep its record spotless in the UAAP Season 82 men&#x27;s basketball tournament, Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.The Blue Eagles trailed by four points to start the game, but ripped off a 17-2 run to take charge. They never looked back from there en route to posting their 12th consecutive triumph of the season.At 12-0, Ateneo is already assured of the top seed in the Final 4, and is two games away from an elimination round sweep.The result also dropped UE&#x27;s record to 3-9, ousting them from the race to the semifinals. This marks the 10th season in a row that the Red Warriors have missed the Final 4.&quot;Very proud of the team. The first half was patchy,&quot; said Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin, noting that there were &quot;individual disappointments&quot; in the first half that they needed to work on. &quot;But you know, apart from that, I think it was a very solid performance.&quot;Isaac Go tallied a season-high 13 points, while Ange Kouame had 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks in just under 19 minutes of time. Thirdy Ravena also had 11 points, 7 boards and 2 assists, as all but two of Ateneo&#x27;s 15 players got on the board.&quot;It was great to get guys that work extremely hard in practice, guys like BJ (Andrade) and Troy (Mallillin) and Jason (Credo) and Geo (Chiu), I think it&#x27;s great to get those guys out on the floor for some meaningful minutes, not just minute or two,&quot; Baldwin added.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2019/10/20/uaap-82-lady-eagles-survive-lady-warriors-ot-62341">READ: Lady Eagles survive Lady Warriors in OT</a></li></ul>The Blue Eagles&#x27; 34-point winning margin was the largest of the season so far. UE had previously lost by 28 points, 101-73, to University of Santo Tomas.Ateneo took complete control of the game in the second period, with Kouame powering his way inside for hooks and easy lay-ups. The defending champions also found their mark from beyond the arc, with Kouame, Ravena, and Adrian Wong all hitting their three-pointers.They continued to pour it on in the third quarter, with the Blue Eagles nailing four triples in a row to end the frame for a comfortable 65-35 advantage.The lead ballooned to 36 points, 82-46, after Go completed a three-point play with 63 seconds left in the game.Alex Diakhite led UE with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, while Rey Suerte had 10 markers. But UE simply didn&#x27;t have the firepower to keep up with the Blue Eagles, who shot 42.03% from the field and had a 47-37 rebounding advantage.The Red Warriors committed 23 turnovers that led to 30 points for Ateneo, while the Blue Eagles&#x27; 21 offensive rebounds led to 22 second chance points. Ateneo&#x27;s reserves scored 47 points, just 3 points fewer than the entire UE team.<div>The scores:</div>ATENEO 84 -- Go 13, Kouame 11, Ravena 11, Belangel 9, Wong 9, Ma.
