AFTER 36 years of waiting to end a title drought in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons will have a chance to win consecutive championships in seven months time.

The defending champion are looking to sweep the best-of-three UAAP men's basketball titular duel against Ateneo de Manila today, December 14, exactly seven months and a day after the Fighting Maroons edged the Blue Eagles in game three of the pandemic-delayed Season 84 Finals.
