Pacing the league’s footrace under a compressed season due to a bubble setting, the three-time defending champion Blue Eagles on a 28-game rampage collide with Adamson at 10 a.m. followed by the match of Green Archers versus Far Eastern University at 1 p.m.
The separate acts of Ateneo and La Salle serve as a fitting prelude to their early collision course on Saturday with hopes of keeping an unblemished card by then to cap off UAAP’s loaded opening week. For the Blue Eagles, their 2-0 start stretched their winning streak since 2018 to 28 games which, however, should be the least of their concerns moving forward according to coach Tab Baldwin.
