UAAP: La Salle, UP still on top as Final Four scramble heats up
After eight games so far, two teams, unsurprisingly, still banner the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament—defending champion La Salle and last year’s Finals rival University of the Philippines (UP), who are both sporting similar 7-1 (win-loss) records.
When the two squads locked horns once again this season, the Green Archers reasserted their dominance over the Fighting Maroons in an emotion-filled 68-56 result, thus ensuring that no team got past the first round without a scratch.
To start the second round, La Salle avenged its only loss dealt by fast-rising University of the East by trimming the Warriors, 77-68. UP, meanwhile, repeated over University of Santo Tomas (UST), which led the Season 84 champions in both games they faced off only to crack when it mattered the most.
