The depleted DLSU Green Archers hope to continue their winning streak against a determined NU squad in their UAAP Season 88 rematch.
Luis Pablo and the DLSU Green Archers aim to extend their winning streak while avenging an earlier loss to the NU Bulldogs when they collide in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday, November 2, at 4:30 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Green Archers (6-3) have found their rhythm midway through the second round, stringing together four consecutive wins to climb into the upper half of the standings despite injuries plaguing the team.
In their last game, Pablo showcased efficiency on both ends, tallying 16 points on near-perfect shooting along with seven rebounds to pace La Salle’s balanced attack against UE.
Still missing several key players, La Salle will rely on Pablo’s steady presence in the paint and the leadership of Jacob Cortez and Mike Phillips to sustain their momentum.
A victory would not only mark their fifth straight win but also avenge their first-round defeat to NU — a loss that served as a wake-up call for the Taft-based squad.
With the race for playoff positioning heating up, head coach Topex Robinson’s crew is determined to keep rolling and possibly overtake NU for a share of the top spot.
