Defending champion UP will be vying to be the second team into the Final Four of UAAP Season 88.
Sean Alter and the UP Fighting Maroons aim to clinch a Final Four spot — and exact revenge — when they battle the Adamson Soaring Falcons on Sunday, November 16.
Gametime is 4:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum for this crucial UAAP Season 88 rematch.
At 8–3, the defending champions are looking to secure their postseason ticket while avenging one of their only three losses of the season.
Adamson stunned UP in round 1, making the Falcons a circled opponent in this showdown.
Alter, fresh from a career performance of 13 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting against UE, will be relied upon to provide inside stability and momentum for the Maroons.
UP enters the matchup with confidence but understands that a desperate Adamson squad will be fighting for survival.
The Maroons will need sharper execution this time as they try to avoid another upset and move one step closer to defending their crown.
