Tables now turned, Maroons try to pounce on slumping Tigers
The University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons are aiming to solidify their second-place standing in the UAAP, now holding a 6-3 record after winning six of their last seven games.
This comes after an initial 0-2 start to the season, with UP currently sitting second in the league behind National University's 8-2 record.
Conversely, the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers have experienced a slump, losing four of their last five games after an initial 4-0 start, putting their Final Four hopes at risk.
Their rematch today is proof of how swiftly the season's momentum has changed, a stark contrast to UST's opening day 87-67 blowout win against UP.
Despite UST's recent struggles, UP coach Goldwin Monteverde acknowledges their competitiveness and emphasizes the importance of focusing on their own game while preparing thoroughly for the Tigers.
