The University of the East (UE) Red Warriors are still steaming and rocking harder as they beat the defending Champions Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Blue Eagles, 62-60 for its fourth win against seven defeats and remain in the bleak hunt for a semis berth as the 73rd Season of the UAAP continues at the Araneta on August 26.
Coming off a huge win against the Adamson University (AdU) Soaring Falcons the last time around, last year's finalists UE is looking for a second-round turnaround to stay alive in the Final Four hunt.
The win against the Eagles who looked complacent coming off a huge win against its arch-nemesis the De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers last Sunday is a sure boost for the Warriors who are now tied with the National University (NU) Bulldogs with four wins a piece but they need to win all their remaining matches and hope for at least a 7-7 record. The Bulldogs on the other hand must arrest the rampaging Warriors as they meet again on Sunday, August 29 before the decider between the Falcons and the Eagles who are both tied at 8-3.
DLSU on the other hand can at least solidify its firm grip of 4th place if they beat FEU on Saturday. Another win will seal the deal for the Archers but a loss against FEU can give NU, UE even UST a chance to penetrate the Final Four.
