The DLSU Green Archers are on an 9-game win streak and will look to extend their dominant run when they face the NU Bulldogs as both teams play their last game of the elimination round of UAAP Season 87.
The De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers will face off against the National University (NU) Bulldogs on November 13, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion in the UAAP Season 87 Men’s Basketball Tournament.
With a commanding 12-1 record, DLSU has already clinched the top seed and secured a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four. However, the Green Archers are not slowing down as they look to finish the elimination round on a high note against NU.
DLSU enters the game on the heels of a significant 77-66 victory over the UP Fighting Maroons, a win that solidified their place as the top contender.
Leading the charge are reigning MVP Kevin Quiambao, whose performance this season has only strengthened his bid for another MVP title, and big man Mike Phillips.

Under the guidance of Coach Topex Robinson, the Green Archers are not taking their success for granted.
“Well, we've talked about this prior to this game, and we're trying to really visualize and see the scenarios that's going to happen. We reminded ourselves that being number one doesn't make you champions,” Coach Robinson emphasized. This perspective keeps DLSU focused on sustaining their momentum, as they aim to carry their winning form into the playoffs.
For the NU Bulldogs, this game marks the end of a challenging season. With a 4-9 record and sitting in the seventh seed, NU is already out of Final Four contention following their recent loss to the Adamson Falcons.
Nonetheless, the Bulldogs are determined to finish their season with pride, setting their sights on an upset against the league’s top team to end their campaign on a high note.
As the Green Archers and Bulldogs prepare to clash, DLSU seeks to maintain their dominance, while NU aims for a spirited finish to their season.
