Ayaay named as the NCAA Player of the Week

With Lyceum's 25-game regular season winning streak on the line, MJ Ayaay made sure that it would not just end this past Friday against Letran.

With the Pirates trailing 76-65 with over six minutes remaining, the graduating forward helped steer the way forward, scoring six of his twenty points in the final stretch as he teamed up with CJ Perez to shake off the Knights and secure an 87-82 victory, allowing them to remain undefeated heading into their much-anticipated meeting with San Beda on Tuesday.

His efforts were noticed by the media outlets, as the NCAA Press Corps picked him to be the latest Chooks-to-Go Player of the Week awardee, beating out Kim Aurin, Javee Mocon, Jed Mendoza, and Justin Gutang.

MJ shared to the media that the pressure seemed to have gotten to the team as of late, "Ramdam na ramdam namin yung mga ibang team na gusto kaming talunin... Sabi ko lang sa kanila, enjoy lang. The past few games kami hindi na kami nag-iismile. Feeling namin palagi pagod kami at nakokontento kami. Kailangan lang namin i-enjoy yung laro."
