As the still-undefeated no. 1 team, the NU Lady Bulldogs hold the power and can set what kind of playoffs we'll see in the UAAP Season 87 women's basketball tournament.
As UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball nears its conclusion, the Final Four teams have solidified their spots.
NU continues its historic dominance, with UST and Adamson trailing, while Ateneo claimed the last playoff berth.
Here’s a breakdown of the standings as of November 12:
NU Lady Bulldogs (12-0)
The Lady Bulldogs have clinched the top seed, remaining unbeaten as they aim for a seventh elimination round sweep since Season 77. NU recently secured victories over fellow contenders UST and Adamson, proving why they’re still the team to beat.
UST Growling Tigresses (10-2)
UST holds on to the second seed but fell to NU twice in the eliminations. The defending champions, who triumphed over the Lady Bulldogs in last year’s Finals, are seeking momentum for the postseason.
Adamson Lady Falcons (8-4)
Adamson remains steady in the no. 3 spot. However, upcoming games against fellow Final Four qualifiers UST and Ateneo are crucial as they prepare for the actual semis proper.
Ateneo Blue Eagles (7-5)
With three consecutive wins, Ateneo has locked in the last Final Four spot, looking strong as the Blue Eagles enter the playoff picture.
DLSU Lady Archers (4-8)
Despite back-to-back wins over UP and FEU, La Salle has been eliminated from Final Four contention.
UP Fighting Maroons (3-9)
UP remains winless in round 2, falling out of the Final Four race after a five-game slide.
FEU Lady Tamaraws (3-9)
FEU is also out of playoff contention but has a respectable 2-3 record in the second round.
UE Lady Warriors (1-11)
UE is out of the Final Four, struggling with an eight-game losing streak that leaves them at the bottom of the standings.
