De La Salle University defeated the previously undefeated University of the Philippines 68-56, handing UP their first loss in UAAP Season 87 and securing the top seed due to the 'win over the other' rule.

Reigning MVP Kevin Quiambao led the Green Archers with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Joshua David contributed 14 points and seven rebounds.

Harold Alarcon scored 19 points for UP, who also received 10 points and 10 rebounds from Quentin Millora-Brown.

Despite trailing by as much as 20 points, UP tied the game at 42, but La Salle responded with a crucial run, including a triple and a jumper from Quiambao, to secure the victory.

Kevin Quiambao believes the team's loss to University of the East fueled their comeback, leading to three consecutive wins since then.

Quiambao mentioned that the players initiated adjustments after the UE loss, focusing on sticking to the system and involving teammates.
