The Blue Eagles ended the first round of the men\u2019s senior basketball category with a 6-1 win-loss card.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe confidence that I have, I just draw it from my teammates, when they\u2019re also playing well,\u201d said Ravena. \u201cI still get nervous during games, but when your coaches and teammates are the first to trust you, it eases off the pressure,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He currently is the league\u2019s best statistical points (SP) at 80.0. Ravena\u2019s string of clutch performances include a career high 38-points. He also averages 23 points per game (ppg) and 5 assists per game (apg), while ranking second in steals. Add to that, the moments he powered his team to several games that landed them the top spot in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Ravena, Jeron Teng from the De La Salle University Green Archers is also running for the MVP title. However, Teng is at distant second with 61.71 SP, 15.0 ppg, and 3.7 apg.<\/p>\n<p>The other eight vying for the MVP award include Chris Newsome and Arvin Tolentino from Ateneo, Mac Belo from FEU, Karim Abdul from UST, Alfred Aroga from NU, Mike Tolomia from FEU, Troy Rosario from NU, and Jason Perkins from DLSU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA &#8212; Ateneo Blue Eagles star Kiefer Ravena leads this year\u2019s University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Most Valuable &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[4254],"class_list":["post-22185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-sports","tag-ateneo","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22185\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
