After a 3-0 start, the Bulldogs absorbed their first loss of the season—a 66-59 defeat to defending champions UP Fighting Maroons in their last outing.
NU squandered a 13-point lead in the third quarter as its offense went cold in the final frame, managing just two field goals in a flat finish.
Steve Nash Enriquez led NU with 16 points in the loss, which ended the Bulldogs’ five-game winning streak at the Quadricentennial Pavilion dating back to last season.
Currently tied with University of Santo Tomas at 3-1, a win over Adamson would push NU into solo second place in the standings.
