Maroons eye outright semis
MANILA, Philippines — Rampaging leader University of the Philippines shoots for an eighth straight Final Four appearance as it takes on Katipunan rival Ateneo in the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball today at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Riding on six straight wins, the Fighting Maroons want no further complications and look for an outright semis entry in the 6 p.m. tiff.
