Kiefer Ravena took the blame for Ateneo’s collapse against University of Santo Tomas on Saturday.
Ravena tweeted “on me” just minutes after the Blue Eagles lost, 68-58, despite leading by as high as 16 points late in the third quarter.

The graduating Ravena scored 13 points on just 4-of-18 shooting from the field in 35 minutes.
Known for his greatness during crucial moments, Ravena was silenced in the fourth period — scoring just a point and missing three free throws amid a UST fightback.
In contrast, Kevin Ferrer shrugged off flu-like symptoms to drop a career-high 27 points, 11 of which coming in the final frame.
With the loss, Ateneo blew a golden opportunity to grab a share of first place in the standings with idle Far Eastern University and instead fell to 3-2.
