The University of the East (UE) Red Warriors secured a 74-58 victory over the National University (NU) Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament.

UE achieved this win by executing a strong second-half performance against NU, outscoring them 25-11 in the third quarter.

This victory improves UE's record to 6-3, strengthening their hold on third place and widening their lead over fourth-running University of Santo Tomas.

Precious Momowei led UE with 17 points and 17 rebounds, stating that a second-quarter incident with teammate John Abate was "nothing serious" and he was "just trying to bring him up."

Wello Lingolingo contributed 14 points off the bench, including key baskets in the third quarter, while Ethan Galang added 12 points, all from beyond the arc.

The team had a two-week break due to postponements caused by severe tropical storm Kristine, which allowed injured players to recover.
