The defending champions snapped out of an early slump with a commanding 92-75 win over the UE Red Warriors.
Rey Remogat paced the Diliman-based squad with a stellar double-double outing of 21 points and 11 assists against his former team.
It also lifted UP’s record to 1-2, tying Adamson at fifth place after dropping its first two games.
