Ateneo eyes semis bonus
Ateneo shoots for the twice-to-beat bonus in the Final Four on Saturday against dangerous University of the East, while Far Eastern U and University of the Philippines collide in a clash with big postseason implications in UAAP Season 80 at Mall of Asia Arena.
The Blue Eagles are looking to extend their unbeaten start to 11 games in the duel with the Warriors at 2 p.m., before the Tamaraws-Fighting Maroons duel, which could determine the team that clinches the last Final Four berth.

The Tamaraws can solidify their hold of the last semifinal berth with a victory over UP.
