I admit they beat us really.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/24/22/uaap-what-beating-powerhouse-nu-means-for-coach-cholo">What beating powerhouse NU means for coach Cholo, La Salle</a></li></ul>&quot;The real challenge for us now is how well can we bounce back after this loss. How well could we really turn the tide in a short span.&quot;For 9 years, NU was able to win game after game, annexing 6 UAAP titles from Seasons 77 to 82. But the unthinkable happened on Wednesday as the Lady Bulldogs folded under heavy pressure during overtime and yielded to the Lady Archers.Ironically, it was De La Salle which last handed NU a beating before the Lady Bulldogs went on a winning spree.&quot;May it be a winning note, may it be a bad game. We&#x27;ll have 24 hours to feel sorry for this. The next hour will be moving forward for them,&quot; said Dimaunahan.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/23/22/uaap-la-salle-women-eye-championship-after-win-vs-nu">UAAP: La Salle women set sights on championship after ending NU&#x27;s streak</a></li></ul>&quot;But the challenge really is after the 24 hours, what do you do?
