UNIVERSITY of the East (UE) qualifies for the last semifinal spot when it will face the University of the Philippines (UP) in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball game on Wednesday at the Filoil EcoOil Center in San Juan.
Game time is 5:30 pm when the Warriors are looking to face a 15-year drought and do not want to have any problems with the last ticket to the Final Four with the Adamson Soaring Falcons who are looking for the fifth place.
A swinging UE team with four straight losses is playing a 6-7 slate and could reach the magic number of seven wins with a victory against UP (10-3), which is already in the Final Four and is guaranteed a two-shot edge as the 2nd seed.
A win for the Warriors would knock the Falcons (5-8) out of contention regardless of the outcome of their last game Saturday against Ateneo (4-9) and put them in the Final Four for the first time since then. of school legend Paul Lee in 2009.
Otherwise, UE could be in a play-off with Adamson to complete the picture and UP stand on the path of doing nothing but preparing for the Final Four against the much-improved Santo Tomas.
Santo Tomas over the weekend avoided any problems by finishing with a 7-7 slate after a 75-49 win over Adamson as UE suffered a costly loss to Ateneo de Manila University, 71-67, to miss out on a straight ticket.
Good for coach Jack Santiago’s Warriors, they will accept valuable asset Precious Momowei to a one-game suspension after two unsportsmanlike fouls and an ejection in a 76-67 loss against Santo Tomas. – John Bryan Ulanday
