THE UP Fighting Maroons go for a first-round sweep as they face last year's finals tormentors, De La Salle Green Archers , in the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday.UP faces La Salle at 6:30 p.m., the highly-anticipated contest serving as the final game of the first round, succeeding the penultimate battle of Adamson against UE at 3:30 p.m.
'We all know that every time La Salle steps on the court, particularly their bigs, KQ and Phillips, if you fail to match their effort on both ends, we're gonna be on the latter part, and we don't want that. I think that's what's more important coming into the game than the X's and O's.'With star point guard JD Cagulangan sidelined due to health reasons, Francis Lopez and Harold Alarcon took charge for UP's last timeout with 16 and 15 points, respectively.
