The UST Growling Tigers will try to keep their winning streak going as they face a desperate FEU team to end the elimination round of UAAP Season 88.
Kyle Paranada and the UST Growling Tigers seek to sharpen their form for the Final Four when they face the desperate FEU Tamaraws on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2:00 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum — with the game available to stream on Pilipinas Live.
Having already secured its Final Four slot, UST enters the matchup riding a three-game winning streak, a resurgence that came after weathering a four-game slump earlier in the second round.
The Tigers' momentum peaked in their gritty win over top-seeded NU, where Paranada delivered nine points, four rebounds, and five assists, helping fuel UST’s push back into title contention.
Though this is a no-bearing game for the Tigers standings-wise, head coach Pido Jarencio’s squad understands the value of entering their semifinal duel vs defending champion UP at full strength and peak confidence.
On the other side, FEU is fighting for survival, needing a win to stay alive for a playoff crack at the last Final Four slot.

But UST, already assured of its position, is determined to keep its winning habit intact — and build maximum momentum for the postseason.
With both squads carrying opposite motivations, an intense clash is expected in this late-elimination showdown.
