A chance to move up.

The Ateneo Blue Eagles will take on the FEU Tamaraws on September 29 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with both teams eager to pick up a much-needed win in UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball action.

Ateneo is coming off its first victory of the season after a tough 0-3 start.

The Blue Eagles will be aiming to climb the standings and find consistency as they work to recover from their rough first set of games.

With a first win under its belt, Ateneo will be determined to string together a winning streak and get back into the postseason conversation.

On the other hand, FEU has yet to find success this season, sitting at the bottom of the standings with an 0-5 record.

Despite the challenges, the Tamaraws will be motivated to secure their first win under coach Sean Chambers and snap their losing skid.

Interestingly, FEU won both matchups against Ateneo in Season 86, and the Tamaraws will look to channel that same energy as they face the Blue Eagles.


This game will cap another week of UAAP basketball, with tip off set for 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Big Dome.
