We&#x27;re all so used to playing 5-on-5 and 3x3 is such a different game. Today was a good day and we hope to keep on improving,&quot; said Chris Urbina, who scored eight and seven points, respectively.Adamson&#x27;s Earl Medina nearly sent the game to overtime against Ateneo, but his deuce rimmed out. The Baby Falcons settled for a 1-1 split after earlier defeating De La Salle-Zobel, 22-17.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1745915649245UAAP3X3 - Ziv Espinas-9338.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Ateneo&#x27;s Ziv Espinas in action in the UAAP Season 87 3x3 basketball tournament, April 29, 2025 at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque.

No choice na kasi last two games talo eh.
