Ateneo 65, La Salle 64 (Final Four Game 1)

For the third time in four games, Ateneo's Chris Tiu delivered in the crunch as the Blue Eagles beat La Salle, 65-64, in their Final Four matchup. Tiu, whose jumpers have been deadly all season long, went unorthodox this time as he drove to the basket and scored on a tough layup with 7 seconds remaining. Bader Malabes' potential gamewinning trey from the corner was offline.

As DLSU holds a twice-to-beat advantage, Ateneo forces a knockout affair (the fifth Blue-Green game this season) this Sunday, September 30.

Winner goes on to meet UE in the finals, while the loser goes home.
