The DLSU Green Archers will face the Adamson Soaring Falcons in a UAAP Season 87 Men's Basketball Tournament clash on October 19, 3:30 p.m., at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.

DLSU is riding high after a thrilling 94-87 overtime win against the UST Growling Tigers.

Reigning MVP Kevin Quiambao delivered a career-best performance with 29 points, nine rebounds, and three steals, proving his dominance once again. Mike Phillips also made significant contributions, recording 16 points and 13 rebounds to support Quiambao's efforts.

The Green Archers, currently sitting atop the standings with an impressive 8-1 record, are showing why they are the team to beat this season.

However, DLSU will need to avoid complacency, as they let a 20-point first-half lead slip away in their previous game. 

On the other hand, Adamson is looking to snap a three-game losing streak. After suffering a close overtime defeat to the FEU Tamaraws, the Soaring Falcons (3-5) are eager to bounce back.

Their recent losses, including a heartbreaking buzzer-beater defeat to the UE Red Warriors, have left them searching for answers. The Falcons will need to bring their best game if they hope to pull off an upset against the league-leading Green Archers.

As DLSU aims to maintain their stronghold on the standings and Adamson fights to break free from their slump, this game promises to be an intense battle between two teams with different motivations.

Basketball fans can look forward to an exciting matchup on October 19 at 3:30 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
