The De La Salle University Green Archers defeated the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, 72-69, in a finals rematch despite the absence of key players Kean Baclaan and Mason Amos.
Vhoris Marasigan's go-ahead layup with 45 seconds remaining and Earl Abadam's game-tying triple were crucial in the final moments of the game.
Luis Pablo led the Archers with 14 points and six rebounds against his former team.
The victory resulted in a three-way tie for third place in the standings between La Salle, UP, and Ateneo.
The Archers have now ended the first round of the UAAP Season 88 men's basketball eliminations.
