League-leading Archers hold the fort vs Tamaraws
The De La Salle University Green Archers secured the top spot in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament by defeating the Far Eastern University Tamaraws, 58-53.
Despite a late-game surge by FEU that saw them erase a double-digit lead and even take a five-point advantage in the fourth quarter, La Salle's defense, anchored by Michael Phillips, helped them regain the lead.
Phillips was instrumental in the win, stuffing the stat sheet with 17 points, 15 rebounds, five steals, two assists, and two blocks.
The victory extended the Green Archers' winning streak to eight games and improved their record to 11-1.
This win pushed FEU farther away from the Final Four with a 4-8 slate.
The Green Archers had previously secured a Final Four seat with a twice-to-beat advantage.
