Defending champion Ateneo secured at least a fourth-seed playoff in the UAAP Season 86 Final Four contention after defeating University of the East, 80-74.

Ateneo's victory improved their record to 7-6, while UE missed the playoffs.

Rookie Jared Brown led Ateneo with a career-high 21 points, including six three-pointers, and Ateneo's win eliminated Adamson Soaring Falcons from the competition.

The Blue Eagles are now vying for the last Final Four seat against De La Salle, which is currently on a seven-game winning streak.

Ateneo needs a win against La Salle to officially clinch a Final Four spot, but a loss could lead to a potential two-way tie with Adamson if they defeat UE.
