Matty Erolon and the Adamson Soaring Falcons brace for a do-or-die battle as they take on the DLSU Green Archers on Wednesday, November 19, at 1:30 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena, with their Final Four hopes hanging by a thread in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball tournament.

 

At 5–7, Adamson enters the matchup on a three-game losing skid, all heartbreakers, including their most recent narrow setback against defending champion UP. 

 

 

With the race tightening, another loss will officially eliminate the Falcons, as they would no longer be able to catch a La Salle team that would rise to seven wins with a victory.

 

Erolon was a bright spot in their previous outing, firing 19 points, three rebounds, an assist, and a steal. 

 

But for Adamson to stay alive, they will need more than just his production — they must finally execute down the stretch against a team also desperate for a turnaround.

 

La Salle is likewise on a slide, making this a high-stakes clash with major implications for the playoff picture. The Falcons must win to keep their season alive.
