Let's Get In ON!!!

The UAAP has just released the schedule for the second round of the tournament. The Blue Eagles have a pretty nice draw to build on their 4-game winning streak of the first round. The last two games of the second round might just become a warmup to the Final Four if Ateneo manages to win the first 5 games.

However, the performance of the team is far from perfect. A lot has to be done in this two-week break for the Blue Eagles to continue on their winning ways. Some of the areas they should work on:
1. Limit turnovers. Yes, that means you, JC.
2. Doug Kramer. Play as well as you had in the first round and it will help open up the outside.
3. Magnum. Please, please, get your shooting back on track.
4. L.A. Work on your conditioning. The team can't afford to lose you during crucial moments.
4. Norman Black. Fantastic rotation during the first round.
5. The Bench. They should come in and play with intensity every game. Ford Arao, Ken Barracoso, and Zion Laterre have all done excellent jobs in filling in for the starters.

On a sidenote, it will be interesting to watch the NCAA-UAAP All Star Game this weekend. No idea on how the NCAA teams will fare, but I am sure it will be a nice to watch. Hope nobody gets injured though.
