The UE Red Warriors continue their search for an elusive breakthrough in locking horns with the Adamson Soaring Falcons in the second round of UAAP Season 88 on Saturday, Oct. 25, at the Mall of Asia Arena. 

Tip off is at 1:30 p.m.

At 0-7, UE remains as the only team yet to crack the win column, with the team's Final Four aspirations growing more unlikely. 

The Red Warriors are on the heels of a 95-76 loss to FEU, marking their seventh straight defeat and 12th consecutive dating back to last season.

Precious Momowei finished with a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double, while Nico Mulingtapang added 13 points in that blowout loss.

Now UE faces a confident Adamson side still without suspended guard Wello Lingolingo and head coach Chris Gavina.
