After winning five of their first six games, the Growling Tigers are in the midst of a two-game skid, most recently falling to the DLSU Green Archers via a 86-77 decision.
Nigerian rookie center Collins Akowe led UST with 20 points and 14 rebounds in the loss, while Crisostomo added 15 points and eight boards.
The defeat put UST at 5-3, tied for third with the Taft-based squad in a tight race atop the standings.
Against Adamson, the Growling Tigers aim to settle the score against the same team that beat them in the opening-round 11 days ago.
