With UAAP Season 87 Final Four set, UST, La Salle, and FEU race for 2x-to-beat edge

For the second straight year, NU, UST, La Salle, and FEU will battle it out for the championship.

Defending champion NU (11-2) has already secured the no. 1 seed and the first twice-to-beat advantage.

But the race for the second spot — and the last playoff edge — is now the biggest storyline heading into the final stretch of the eliminations.

UST currently holds the inside track at 9-4, but will face NU in a Season 86 Finals rematch to end their preliminary campaign.

La Salle, at 8-4, is in action against Adamson as of press time and will finish the second round against FEU (8-5) in a potential virtual playoff for the no. 2 seed.

It’s a tight three-way chase with high stakes, as every win — and set — could make the difference in a superb Final Four race.
