Currently outside the Final Four Picture, the UST Golden Spikers are determined to finally put an end to a three-game losing skid.
Already on a season-worst losing skid, the UST Golden Spikers are desperate to snap out of a three-game slide in a UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball second round duel with the DLSU Green Spikers, Saturday, March 29, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.
UST’s woes continued to pile up after suffering a straight-set loss to the league-leading and unbeaten FEU Tamaraws in their last outing.
Two-time UAAP MVP Josh Joshua Ybañez put up a valiant effort of 15 points, but the Golden Spikers stumbled to an even 4-4 win-loss record and is currently outside of the Final Four picture.
Jay Rack Dela Noche tallied 12 points while rookie JJ Macam was limited to his lowest scoring game this season with just three markers.
Interestingly enough, UST is now 0-4 when Ybañez played this tournament but went 4-0 during the time he sat out due an ankle injury.
One of those wins came against the Green Spikers following a commanding sweep last February 26.
Tip off is at 9:00 a.m.
