UP goes for the jugular in finally realizing it after three decades when it takes on reigning champion Ateneo in Game 2 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 84 men’s basketball finals at the Mall of Asia Arena. READ:

For a team that has never been this close to the UAAP throne since last winning a title in 1986, it’s now or never as the Fighting Maroons eye to finish off the Blue Eagles in a sweep after a huge stunner in Game 1 via overtime, 81-74.

Coach Goldwin Monteverde, whose wards notched back-to-back come-from-behind wins to move on cusp of ending their long championship drought. Ranged against the mighty Ateneo that made short of FEU in the other semis pairing, UP embraced the challenge and put on a defensive clinic in the fourth quarter and overtime with a 21-6 finishing kick for a stunning Game 1 victory.But the defiant Ateneo will not hand it over on a silver platter without a fight, brimming with confidence that it can drag the “Battle of Katipunan” to a winner-take-all Game 3 to keep its four-peat alive.
