“We have a lot of issues, system-wise, that we have to resolve,” said Ateneo coach Tab Baldwin. “It’s going to be, you know, looking at our offense, trying to figure out how we can create the highest percentage shots that we can get.” Efficiency will also be the name of their game with Will Navarro expected to contribute along with star players Thirdy Ravena and Ange Kouame.The Bulldogs could have been on top of the standings after falling short on three games by one point including their 80-79 defeat to University of the Philippines last Wednesday.
