Far Eastern University continued to be a thorn in the side of University of the Philippines in the UAAP Season 89 Collegiate Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The Tamaraws snapped the Fighting Maroons’ seven-game winning streak with a 71-68 victory on Saturday at the SMART Araneta Coliseum, completing an elimination-round sweep of UP while strengthening their position in the Final Four race.
FEU improved to 7-5 to claim solo third place, moving ahead of idle De La Salle University (6-5).
UP, meanwhile, suffered its first loss since October 4, when it also fell to FEU, 90-79.
The Final Four-bound Fighting Maroons dropped to 9-3, leaving them tied with the NU Bulldogs for the top spot.
