Far Eastern University hopes to sustain its momentum against gritty University of the East to fortify its bid for the last twice-to-beat incentive in the 71st University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball tournament Thursday at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Tamaraws-Red Warriors tip off is set at 4 p.m. right after the no-bearing game between Adamson University and National University at 2 p.m.
FEU and defending champion De La Salle University are currently tied at second with identical 10-3 slates behind the league-leading Ateneo de Manila University, which clinched the first twice-to-beat ticket by virtue of its impressive 12-1 win-loss record.
The Red Warriors (8-5) took the last semis berth on Sunday following an 89-87 win over University of Santo Tomas.
“We need to be consistent both on offense and defense against UE dahil mabilis silang kumilos. Mas magandang manggaling kami sa panalo para nasa amin yung momentum pagpasok sa semis,” said FEU coach Glenn Capacio who will rely on slotman Reil Cervantes, JR Cawaling, Aldrech Ramos, Mark Barroca and comebacking Mac Baracael.
The Warriors, on the other hand, are expected to go all-out to keep their morale high going into the semifinals.
Meanwhile, the UAAP Board has already received the complaint letter of Adamson and is expected to come up with concrete solution in the next few weeks.
“UAAP Board president [Dr. Sergio Cao] is out of the country he will return on Sept. 6 [Saturday], when he comes back we’ll decide if we will have an emergency meeting to address this matter,” said board member Hercules Callanta of host University of the Philippines.
Adamson team manager Romeo Lerit asked the UAAP Board Tuesday to look into the incident that happened on Thursday when La Salle defeated the Falcons in overtime, 84-78, at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Lerit said that after the game, UAAP Deputy Commissioner Ogie Narvasa confronted him in an arrogant manner for sarcastically clapping his hands on the passing game referees.
The Adamson community insisted a public apology from Narvasa or otherwise, Lerit said, he will take the matter to the legal court.
Narvasa, however, denied the allegations.
