The UAAP Season 86 Finals for the Men’s and Women’s division is underway with local basketball fans hooked on how this year will close.
The UP Fighting Maroons took game 1 over the DLSU Green Archers on Wednesday, November 29, 97-67, at the Mall of Asia Arena. It was a dominant win for the Fighting Maroons who can wrap it all up with another win on Sunday, Dec. 3, when both teams collide anew in Game 2 of the UAAP finals at the Araneta Coliseum.
But given the Green Archers’ resiliency it is hard to count out DLSU.
In the women’s side, the UST Growling Tigresses also moved on the cusp of winning the UAAP Season 86 women’s basketball crown after shocking the NU Lady Bulldogs, 76-72. Like UP, UST can also wrap it up with another win on Sunday.
