The NU Bulldogs are the current leaders in the UAAP Season 88 standings, and they hope to stay that way after their game vs the Adamson Soaring Falcons.
PJ Francisco and the NU Bulldogs aim to stay atop the UAAP Season 88 standings when they take on the Adamson Soaring Falcons on Saturday, November 8, at 4:30 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
The Bulldogs (8–2) are coming off a statement win over the De La Salle Green Archers that reinforced their status as the team to beat. Francisco starred in that victory with a flawless 4-of-4 shooting clip en route to 14 points, anchoring NU’s balanced attack.
Now, he’ll look to sustain that form as NU seeks a season sweep of its head-to-head against Adamson.
With just four games left in the elimination round, every win matters for the Bulldogs as they try to maintain their hold on the No. 1 spot and secure a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four.
Meanwhile, Adamson (5–5) continues to fight for positioning in the middle of the pack.
The Soaring Falcons nearly completed a comeback against FEU in their previous game before falling short.
Ray Allen Torres led the charge with a career-best 24 points, and he’ll be key once more as Adamson tries to stun the league leaders.
