La Salle is currently in a five-team battle for the final two Final Four spots, alongside UST, Adamson, FEU, and Ateneo.
But the Green Archers are in a tough spot, having dropped three straight games, including a narrow 60-61 stinger to the Soaring Falcons.
Returning from suspension, Vhoris Marasigan led the way with 15 points in the loss, and EJ Gollena chipped in 10.
With the playoffs fast approaching, DLSU must quickly reverse their fortunes.
But with champion UP on a six-game win streak and seeking revenge, can the Green Archers turn things around in time?
