MANILA, Philippines — First to the Last Dance.

De La Salle University entered the finals of the 76th UAAP men’s basketball tournament after coming back to down Far Eastern University, 71-68, in their semifinal matchup on Wednesday, September 25 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The Green Archers trailed for most of the match, but turned the tables on the Tamaraws in the final period behind Norbert Torres and Jeron Teng to return to the championship round for the first time since 2008.

La Salle scored its 9th consecutive win, with Teng making key free-throws and finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists and LA Revilla adding 15 markers, 8 boards and 2 steals.

Season MVP Terrence Romeo had 14 points for FEU but the Tamaraws failed to regain the form it flashed when it swept the first round with 7 straight wins.

The Archers will face the winner of the do-or-die battle on Saturday, September 28 between top seed National University and University of Santo Tomas. – Rappler.com
