Cedrick Manzano, Adamson test UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 88

The Adamson Soaring Falcons are set to face the UP Fighting Maroons in a UAAP Season 88 men's basketball game on Wednesday, September 24, at 4:30 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion, with Adamson aiming to secure an upset victory against the defending champions.

Adamson enters the match with confidence after a strong performance in their opener against La Salle, where they nearly pulled off an upset but fell short, relying on Cedrick Manzano's 19-point contribution, and they will look for him to deliver again against UP.

Meanwhile, UP is seeking to rebound from a stunning 20-point loss to UST in their first game, with Rey Remogat expected to improve after scoring only five points in his debut, as the team aims to avoid an 0-2 start to the season.

With both teams currently winless, the Falcons hope to capitalize on UP's early struggles and hand them another setback, adding urgency to the encounter.
