The UP Fighting Maroons have a chance to reclaim UAAP glory as they take on the DLSU Green Archers in Game 2 of the Season 87 men’s basketball Finals Wednesday.
UP leads the best-of-three series, 1-0, following a 73-65 victory in Game 1 that snapped a four-game losing streak against the defending champions.
This marks the Fighting Maroons’ fourth consecutive Finals appearance, where they’ve consistently taken Game 1 but have stumbled in the second match each time.
Quentin Millora-Brown starred in the opener, delivering a UAAP career-high 17 points, nine rebounds, and being a key anchor on both ends.
JD Cagulangan and Francis Lopez chipped in 13 apiece, showcasing UP’s depth and poise.
With momentum on their side, the Fighting Maroons are eager to rewrite history and avoid a Game 3, while La Salle fights to keep its title defense alive.
Tip off will be at 5:30 p.m. from the Mall of Asia Arena.
