The La Salle Green Archers secured the top seed in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball Final Four with a 12-1 record after defeating the UP Fighting Maroons, 77-66.

This victory extended La Salle's winning streak to nine games and completed a sweep of their rivalry with UP.

The UP Fighting Maroons will enter the Final Four as the No. 2 seed with a 9-3 record.

Coach Topex Robinson emphasized that being the number one seed does not guarantee a championship, stressing the importance of continued effort.

He highlighted the team's ability to adjust and execute their offense, matching UP's energy despite an early deficit.

This is an improvement from last season when the Green Archers entered the playoffs as the second seed with an 11-3 record before eventually winning the championship.
