The FEU Tamaraws are charging, while the UST Growling Tigers are reeling as both teams meet in round 2 of UAAP Season 87.
UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball action continues its intense round 2, with the UST Growling Tigers and FEU Tamaraws facing off in a pivotal showdown that could heavily influence the Final Four race.
UST currently holds the fourth spot with a 4-6 record, but the Growling Tigers’ grip on that position is slipping after three straight losses to open the second round.
FEU, meanwhile, has shown new life, picking up back-to-back wins that have lifted the Tamaraws into a tie for fifth at 3-6, just a half-game out of playoff contention.
UST took the win in their first-round matchup, which remains the Tigers’ most recent victory.
As the pressure mounts, UST will aim to break its losing streak and stay in control of the fourth spot, while the resurgent Tamaraws look to keep their momentum alive and further shake up the middle of the standings with another big win.
Tip off will be a 6:30 p.m. from the Mall of Asia Arena, with this game capping another week of UAAP hoops.
