In this episode of The Navs Effect, I’m joined by Nico Rocha to react to UP’s huge win over Ateneo in UAAP men’s basketball.

We break down what went down in the game — Jacob Bayla’s lockdown defense, how Ateneo’s rim protection was exposed, and how Rhey Remogat is finally finding his rhythm within the UP system.

We also talk about what this game means moving forward for both teams, take a big-picture look at the rest of the UAAP field, and end with some fun “pick-’em” style games around teams and players.
