Ateneo Blue Eagles assistant coach Sandy Arespacochaga shed light on Tab Baldwin’s absence during their 65-61 defeat against the NU Bulldogs on Saturday in the UAAP Season 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament.
“Coach Tab (Baldwin) has been sick for the past week. He tried earlier, but he really couldn’t. Hopefully, we’ll get him back in time for practice or for the next game,” Arespacochaga told reporters after the game.
Arespacochaga took over the coaching reins for the Eagles, but he had no answer to Reinhard Jumamoy’s 21-point explosion that carried the Bulldogs to victory.
“This was a tough game for us. NU is a very tough team, and we stood toe-to-toe against them. I think Reinhard Jumamoy really stepped up for NU and really played a terrific game. He shot the lights out and showed the UAAP who he is,” Arespacochaga added.
Ateneo suffered their third straight loss in the tournament and fell to 4-6 in the standings.
