UP took a step towards claiming a twice-to-beat advantage in the UAAP Season 86 Final 4 after an 81-64 beating of FEU on Saturday.
MANILA – The University of the Philippines took a step towards claiming a twice-to-beat advantage in the UAAP Season 86 Final 4 after an 81-64 beating of Far Eastern University at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Saturday.
Aldous Torculas gave an efficient, all-around performance with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals without turning the ball over in over 18 minutes of action. Francis Lopez was just shy of a double-double with 12 points and 9 rebounds. The Fighting Maroons outscored the Tamaraws in all quarters, including a 26-point explosion in the third which gave them a 13-point cushion entering the final frame.
But Cyril Gonzales and Lopez did not want that to happen as they sank triple daggers late in the fourth.
