The Ateneo Blue Eagles jumped to the early lead in the standings of UAAP Season 88 men's basketball, outlasting the UE Red Warriors, 62-60, at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion on Wednesday.

The Blue Eagles rode the offense of one-and-done Kymani Ladi, who poured on 18 points and 10 rebounds, to lead Ateneo to a second victory in as many games.

Ateneo will seek another victory this weekend when the Blue Eagles face Adamson on Sunday, September 28, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
