The Adamson Soaring Falcons are eager to pull off an upset successfully, this time against a wounded UP team in UAAP Season 88 men's basketball.
The Adamson Soaring Falcons aim to turn early promise into a breakthrough victory when they battle the defending champion UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, September 24, at 4:30 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
Adamson nearly pulled off an upset against La Salle in its opener, falling just short but drawing confidence from a strong performance by Cedrick Manzano, who finished with 19 points.
The Falcons will look for him to deliver again as they take on UP.

The Maroons, meanwhile, are looking to regroup after a stunning 20-point defeat to host UST in their opening game.
Rey Remogat managed only five points in his debut and is expected to step up as UP seeks to avoid a 0-2 start.
With both Adamson and UP winless so far, the Falcons will try to seize momentum and hand the defending champions another early-season setback.
