La Salle Green Archers eye UAAP Finals comeback after Game 1 loss

The La Salle Green Archers aim to replicate their UAAP Finals comeback from last year after losing Game 1 to the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons.

Despite Mike Phillips' 17 points and 11 rebounds, the Green Archers fell short in the opening game, absorbing a 73-65 defeat.

This loss was La Salle's first against UP this season and puts them on the brink of being dethroned as UAAP men's basketball champions.

Assistant coach Oliver Bunyi expressed confidence in the team's ability to bounce back, noting that last year's Game 1 loss was more significant, which they overcame.

Coach Topex Robinson emphasized that championships are won in two games, not one, and expressed optimism that the Green Archers can recover.

La Salle hopes to regain their top-seeded form in Game 2 on Wednesday, which is crucial for extending the series.
