The Adamson Soaring Falcons will try to keep themselves in the UAAP Season 88 Final Four race as they face defending champions UP.
Manu Anabo and the Adamson Soaring Falcons brace for a must-win encounter when they take on the UP Fighting Maroons on Sunday, November 16.
Tip off is 4:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with Adamson seeking to stay in the thick of the Final Four race while eyeing a season sweep of the defending champions.
At 5–6, Adamson is scrambling for footing after absorbing painful back-to-back losses to FEU and NU — both games where late comeback attempts fell short.
With their postseason hopes hanging in the balance, Anabo will again be crucial after delivering 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals in their last outing.
The Falcons upset UP in the first round and will need the same grit to topple the champions once more.
But they’ll face a motivated Maroons squad eager to clinch a Final Four berth and avenge the earlier defeat.
Adamson enters this matchup with urgency — and the belief that they can shock the league leaders again.
