UAAP Season 89 Men’s Basketball tournament

Overview

In the UAAP Season 89 Men’s Basketball Tournament, the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons began the season with a 2-0 record after a 94-75 victory over Ateneo de Manila University.

However, the Fighting Maroons' undefeated streak ended when the National University (NU) Bulldogs defeated them 72-64 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. NU secured a “wire-to-wire victory” fueled by an early 21-4 run. Reinhard Jumamoy led the Bulldogs with 14 points, while Paul Francisco contributed 11 points and six steals. Despite a late rally from UP, including a four-point play by Miguel Yñiguez, NU maintained control to hand UP its first loss. This result brought NU to a 2-1 record, creating a three-way tie for first place between NU, UP, and Ateneo de Manila University.

Following this, the NU Bulldogs continued their momentum with an 85-66 victory over the Adamson Soaring Falcons. PJ Palacielo led the Bulldogs with 19 points and 8 assists, and Mo Diassana recorded a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Although Adamson narrowed the lead to six points during a third-quarter rally, NU pulled away in the final period.
