The De La Salle Green Archers marched into the Final Four after pouncing on Adamson University, 69-57, on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.
MANILA – Despite notching five consecutive wins in the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball, De La Salle University forward Mike Phillips still wants to see consistency from his teammates as they seek the twice-to-beat advantage.
Speaking after the game, Phillips said: "We prepared just like any other game, and to really come out there and play our best, and so I just gave us a really tough fight." Despite stumbling early in the tournament with a 3-3 record, coach Topex Robinson said the losses strengthened the entire team.
