Final Four first-timer Noy Remogat hopes to dazzle on the big stages for the UP Fighting Maroons against the UST Growling Tigers in UAAP Season 88 Final Four.
Defending champions UP Fighting Maroons, led by breakout guard Noy Remogat, aim to make quick work of the UST Growling Tigers when they collide in the UAAP Season 88 Final Four on Wednesday, December 3, 4:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum — the game will be streamed live on Pilipinas Live.
Armed with a twice-to-beat advantage, UP hopes to avoid complications as they try to secure their return to the Finals.
The Fighting Maroons and Tigers split their elimination-round meetings, with the second round game going down the wire — something UP wants to correct with a more assertive effort this time around.

UP is also eager to bounce back after closing the eliminations with a loss to La Salle.
Still, Remogat shone with 25 points, six rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block, and the electric guard hopes to carry that momentum into his first-ever Final Four appearance.
Coach Goldwin Monteverde will look to Remogat and the rest of UP’s veteran core to set the tone early and avoid giving the Tigers another crack at them in a do-or-die match.
A win sends the Fighting Maroons back to the UAAP Finals, while a loss forces a deciding game later in the week.
