UE Red Warriors on five-game win streak, aim for Final Four

The University of the East (UE) Red Warriors are celebrating their five-game winning streak in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball eliminations, despite starting with two losses.

Head coach Jack Santiago emphasizes a fresh start for the second round, urging his players to remain disciplined and focused on their goals.

Santiago acknowledges the team's recent success but reminds them they must work hard as if they had no record, aiming to end a 15-year Final Four absence.

UE has rebuilt its roster with new talent such as Wello Lingolingo and Precious Momowei leading the way, showing resilience and teamwork despite lacking a standout star player.

The Red Warriors' resurgence is revitalizing interest in their program, making each game a must-watch event for basketball fans.

UE will face La Salle on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Smart Araneta Coliseum to kick off the second round of the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament.
