Maroons resume journey to top and seal Bulldogs’ place at the bottom
The University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons aim for a fourth consecutive win against the cellar-dwelling National University (NU) Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament.
A victory for UP, combined with a win by Far Eastern University (FEU) over the University of the East (UE), could secure the Fighting Maroons the second twice-to-beat incentive in the Final Four.
The Fighting Maroons are currently chasing the top-ranked La Salle Green Archers and are focused on improving and staying healthy for the remainder of the elimination round.
UP coach Goldwin Monteverde views each remaining game as an opportunity for the team to improve and build momentum, especially heading into their second match against La Salle.
The team previously swept Ateneo Blue Eagles, 75-47, in their last game, marking the fourth time they've achieved this sweep against their rivals.
