00:00After defeating the defending champions, the Lasalgrin Archers,

00:03the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons needs just one more win

00:07to reclaim the championship in this year's UAAP Men's Basketball.

00:11Jayak Puchamaykabayaka for the details.

00:16The UP Fighting Maroons secured a game-on of the UAAP Season 87 Men's Basketball Finals,

00:2273-65 last night at the Ornetta Coliseum.

00:26The game was closely contested at halftime, but the momentum shifted in the third quarter,

00:31where UP outscored Lasal with 8-point lead.

00:33The DLSU displayed the heart of a champion in the final quarter,

00:37narrowing the gap to just 4 points with 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game.

00:42But the Maroons maintained their strong strategy,

00:44lead by their standout player Quentin Loyola-Brown,

00:48finishing the game with 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists.

00:52We're in the finals and this is all that work that we put in

00:55in the first two rounds and the final four, you know, it's leading up to this moment.

00:59So, you know, this is the biggest stage for us as a team, as individuals,

01:04and just giving everything we have is just how we approach it.

01:09The reigning MVP Kevin Quimbao struggled after scoring 18 points in the first two quarters

01:15and managed only one point in the second half.

01:18UP head coach Colvin Monteverde praised rookie Jacob Baila

01:21for stepping up and taking the responsibility of Quimbao.

01:25For a rookie to defend Kevin's game,

01:31showing a lot of heart on his first time to play in the UAP finals,

01:36you know, for me it's really amazing on his part that he did that.

01:42Meanwhile, DLSU head coach Topix Robinson remains confident that his team can bounce back.

01:49The only thing that I told the team is there's a reason that this is a series.

01:52You know, you don't win a championship by just winning one game.

01:56You need to win two games.

01:57So we still have a chance.

01:59We've been in this situation before.

02:03We just have to keep on, you know, being positive.

02:06The game on Wednesday will determine whether the fight in Maroons

02:09will secure the title after two years,

02:11or if the Green Archers will force a do-or-die Game 3.

02:15Jamaica Bayaka, from The National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
