The Blue Knights meet the Negros Oriental State University today and a victory would give them a chance to barge in to the quarterfinals for the first time in 12 years.
After scoring two victories, Ateneo hoped to tally its third win but the Ilonggos played better in the fourth quarter to stop the Dabawenyos.
“There is still hope,” Elegino said.
