The UE Red Warriors aim to rebound and keep their Final Four hopes going as they face the NU Bulldogs in a critical round 2 matchup in UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball. 

Currently holding a 5-3 record, the Red Warriors remain in third place but saw their momentum stalled by a tough loss to DLSU to start the second round, ending their impressive five-game winning streak.

UE's recent form has put the team firmly in the mix for a playoff spot, but with other teams like Ateneo and FEU now surging, it makes every game crucial as the season progresses.

In their first-round encounter, the Red Warriors defeated the Bulldogs during their winning streak, adding motivation to replicate that performance and maintain their hold on third, all while hopefully starting a new winning run.

Meanwhile, NU continues to struggle at the bottom of the standings with a 2-7 record, having opened round 2 with back-to-back losses.

Tip off will be at 2:00 p.m. live from the Mall of Asia Arena.
