      Battles for the rebound between Kiefer Ravena of Ateneo de      Manila and Jeth Rosario of NU Bulldogs    
    MANILA, PhilippinesUntil the end, National University (NU)    just proved too baffling for Ateneo de Manila University to    figure out.  
    The Bulldogsthe only team Ateneo hasnt beaten in six games    since last seasonstunned the No. 1 Blue Eagles yet again,    salvaging a 65-63 decision in a huge Final Four shocker to    advance to the UAAP mens basketball championship for the first    time in 44 years on Wednesday at the packed Smart Araneta    Coliseum.  
    When you look back two weeks ago, this was far-fetched, NU    coach Eric Altamirano said after his No. 4 Bulldogs overcame    the Eagles twice-to-beat semifinal advantage.  
    I have to give it to the boys. They refused to lose, they    refused to give up. There were times in the game when we were    already down, but they stay focused. They kept on fighting and    stayed together, he added.  
    Far Eastern University (FEU), though, made sure there will be    no upset in their own Final Four series as the No. 2 Tamaraws    dethroned the La Salle Green Archers in another heart-stopping    duel, 67-64, to nail the last title berth.  
    Stellar all season, Mac Belo again emerged as the hero for the    Tamaraws , knocking in the game-winning triple at the buzzer to    lead FEU back to the finals after three years.  
    With only 24 seconds left to execute the game-winner, FEUs ace    guard Mike Tolomia ran out the game clock before dishing out    the ball at the perfect time to Belo, who was waiting at the    right corner.  
    FEU coach Nash Racela admitted it was actually a broken play    for the Tamaraw, who nearly blew their twice-to-beat incentive    after the Archers forged a knockout game with a 94-73 rout last    Saturday.
