The UP Fighting Maroons punched the first ticket to the UAAP Season 86 Final Four after surviving a scare from the UE Red Warriors, 79-72, Wednesday afternoon at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
MANILA, Philippines -- Trailing by as much as 13 points, UE caught fire and eventually tied the game at 69 with less than four minutes remaining following back-to-back 3-pointers by Jack Cruz-Dumont.
Cruz-Dumont, however, punched in another three pointer with 1:21 remaining to cut the lead to one, 73-72. The Red Warriors had the chance to tie the game, but the stifling defense of UP was too much for them as they had no choice but to settle for a Rey Remogat heave from way beyond which missed everything.
