Chasing a Final Four spot, the FEU Tamaraws hope to build momentum in their test against no. 1 NU in the second round of UAAP Season 88.
Jorick Bautista and the FEU Tamaraws look to keep their Final Four hopes alive when they face the league-leading NU Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, November 12.
Tip off is set for 4:30 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
At 4–6, the Tamaraws are in a must-win situation as they battle to stay in the thick of the postseason race against fellow contenders Adamson, UST, and Ateneo.
FEU is coming off a hard-fought victory over Adamson and will look to sustain that momentum after a 10-day break.
Bautista, who tallied 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting in their last game, will be aiming for sharper form as the Tamaraws take on the top team in the standings.
On the other hand, NU (9–2) continues to pace the league and can secure at least a playoff for a twice-to-beat advantage with a victory.
The Bulldogs are fresh from a narrow win over Adamson and will look to deliver a more convincing showing this time.
PJ Francisco, who finished with nine points, is eager to redeem himself after missing key shots down the stretch in their last outing.
