MANILA\u00a0— Ateneo found South Korea’s fluid offense too tough to handle and bowed, 73-90, in their Jones Cup clash at the Xinzhuang Gymnasium in New Taipei City on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The Blue Eagles were actually in the thick of things most of the game against South Korea’s national team which was quickly saddled with turnover woes.<\/p>\n
SoKor, however, made up for its errors with pinpoint passing, with 30 assists on 36 made baskets, and a fine stroke from the perimeter highlighted by 10 triples out of 18 tries.<\/p>\n
Ateneo eventually fizzled in the fourth quarter, only making 12 points in the final 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Ricardo Ratliffe and Heo Il-Young each chipped in 15 points for South Korea, which is now 2-0 in the tournament.<\/p>\n
Thirdy Ravena made 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, and five steals for the now 1-1 Ateneo, but missed all of his five shots from long range.<\/p>\n
The Scores:<\/p>\n
South Korea 90 – Ratliffe 15, Heo I 15, Heo U 12, Lee J 9, Heo H 6, Kang 6, Jeon 6, Kim J 6, Park 5, Choi 4, Lee S 4, Kim S 2.<\/p>\n
Ateneo 73 – Ravena 14, Nieto 12, Kouame 10, Wong 9, Verano 5, Mendoza 5, Go 5, Navarro 5, Maagdenberg 3, White 3, Mamuyac 2, Andrade 0.<\/p>\n
