But as the Red Warriors sought a comeback, Remogat committed a costly turnover after a backcourt violation with 4:11 remaining.Joseph Obasa bagged one basket, but Maglupay and Lingolingo answered back with treys to cut down the lead, 72-68, as the blue jerseys went empty again in their possession.Sean Quitevis finally ended the drought after splitting his charities with 1:29 left, and Mason Amos&#x27; basket came in handy as they pushed back UE, 75-68.Quitevis again earned a trip to the line, but Ethan Galang threw in a trey to put back UE in sight, 76-71.Brown&#x27;s free throws gave the Blue Eagles a bit of separation, as Galang&#x27;s unfortunate turnover dwindled Red Warriors&#x27; hopes of returning.The triple of Galang came in late with 00.2 seconds remaining as Ateneo escaped their late onslaught.The Blue Eagles needed to win today&#x27;s bout. Now, they will wait for the result of the National University-Adamson University to know whether they will enter the Final 4.During halftime, the Jordan brand also presented a new batch of Wings Scholars. Through the program, six high school graduates will receive four-year scholarships to Ateneo, where they can pursue the course of their choice.<div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="The Jordan Brand Wings Scholars for the Class of 2027.
