The NU Bulldogs secured their spot in the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball Final Four with a 68-57 victory over the FEU Tamaraws.

This win improved NU's record to 9-2, tying them with UP at the top of the standings, though FEU's loss pushed them closer to elimination.

The Bulldogs recently demolished the already-eliminated University of Sto. Tomas, 76-65, to maintain their tie for first place with UP at 10-2.

Both NU and UP are competing for a twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals.

Key scorers in the latest win were Kean Baclaan with 13 points, Patrick Yu with 12, and PJ Palacielo with 10.

Despite these successes, coach Jeff Napa emphasized the team's focus on their upcoming game against Adamson.
