After finally notching a breakthrough win against Adamson earlier in the tournament, the Tamaraws (1-5) have since stumbled again with back-to-back losses, the latest a 92-80 setback to UST.
Despite a strong showing for most of the game, FEU faltered late, getting outscored 29-18 in the final frame.
Janrey Pasaol anchored the charge with 22 points, eight assists, and five rebounds, while big man Mo Konateh delivered an all-around effort of 19 points, 11 boards, four blocks, and three steals.
With their playoff hopes fading, the Tamaraws aim to rediscover their winning form and capitalize against the Red Warriors (0-6), who continue to search for answers amid an 11-game losing skid dating back to last season.
