The Adamson Soaring Falcons are vying to keep themselves afloat in the UAAP Final Four race as they face league leaders NU Bulldogs in their second round match.
Ray Allen Torres and the Adamson Soaring Falcons hope to keep their Final Four push alive when they battle league-leading NU Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament on Saturday, November 8, at 4:30 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
The Soaring Falcons (5–5) are coming off a tough loss to FEU, where they clawed back from a double-digit deficit before running out of steam.
Torres shone in the defeat, erupting for a career-high 24 points, and will once again lead the Falcons as they eye a season-defining upset against the Bulldogs.
For Adamson, a win would be crucial in tightening their grip on the Final Four race, as they currently sit in the middle of the standings alongside several contenders.
On the other hand, NU (8–2) continues to soar behind strong team play.
The Bulldogs are fresh from a convincing win over La Salle, led by PJ Francisco’s perfect 4-of-4 shooting for 14 points.
They also seek to complete a season sweep of Adamson and preserve their hold of the top spot entering the crucial stretch of the eliminations.
