NU Bulldogs end UAAP Season 87 campaign with 5-9 record

The National University (NU) Bulldogs concluded their UAAP Season 87 men's basketball campaign with a 5-9 record, marred by the early season-ending injury to their foreign student-athlete, Mo Diassana.

Despite losing five of their first seven games without Diassana, the Bulldogs showed resilience by winning against three of the four teams currently in the Final Four in the second round.

NU secured victories against UST, UP, and a shocking upset against top-ranked La Salle in their final game.

Coach Jeff Napa expressed no regrets, believing the adversities faced by the team had a purpose, and found consolation in their strong second-round performance against top contenders.
