UAAP: FEU boosts Final Four chances, topples UE
The FEU Tamaraws are keeping their Final Four hopes alive in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament with a hard-fought 59-51 victory over the UE Red Warriors.
With this win, FEU now holds a 4-7 record, putting them in a tie for fifth place with Adamson and just behind fifth-running UST.
FEU's strong start, including a 23-9 first-quarter lead and a game-high 18-point advantage, proved too much for UE to overcome.
FEU's rookie sensation Veejay Pre led the scoring with 20 points and 8 rebounds, supported by Jorick Bautista's 12 points.
Despite UE's second-half comeback attempts, including cutting the deficit to single digits, FEU maintained their composure to secure the win.
The loss marks UE's second consecutive defeat, bringing their record to 6-5, though they remain in third place.
