Basketball fans still excited over UAAP finals despite unexpected turn

MANILA, Philippines - The Far Eastern University Tamaraws and the National University Bulldogs will go head to head this afternoon for the 7th UAAP men's basketball finals.

FEU’s Belo nailed a buzzer beating triple against La Salle last Wednesday, which catapulted their team to finals.

The last time neither La Salle and Ateneo had representatives in the men's basketball UAAP finals was during season 55. Despite the unexpected turn, basketball fans took to Twitter to express their support and excitement over the much anticipated duel.
