'The best thing about it is that we play again in two days so we can forget about this one and get ready for the next one,” said La Salle team consultant Jermaine Byrd after the Green Archers’ loss to rival Ateneo. UAAPSeason82

"If we would have the whole game the way we played the 3rd and the 4th quarter, I like our chances," said Byrd as La Salle managed to cut a 22-point deficit to a single digit, before dropping the game by 12 points.

But even with La Salle fielding Fil-foreign reinforcements, the Blue Eagles exposed the Green Archers' weakness and pulled away with a massive 17-0 run to close out the first half for a whopping 51-29 advantage at the break. "It is new for the new guys, I mean the atmosphere, the intensity but they’ve played in Division 1 and Division II basketball so we’ll figure it out as a team and we’ll get better on Wednesday."
