FAR Eastern University looks to put some stability to its roller coaster campaign this UAAP Season 82 when it takes on University of Sto. Tomas on Sunday at Ynares Center in Antipolo.
The Tamaraws have yet to get a streak going through the first four games, but for coach Olsen Racela, that's just a further testament to the balance the league has this year.
"Grabe yung balance ng competition ngayon. I always tell the players na every game is different, every UAAP game is different," he said after his side scored the 66-55 win over La Salle.
"It’s been showing this season. Natatalo yung favored team, nananalo yung dehadong team, so ganun talaga this year. That’s why a lot of people are very happy with what’s happening now in the UAAP."
FEU (2-2) wants to finally win back-to-back games at the expense of UST (3-2) at 4 p.m.
On the other hand, the Growling Tigers are motivated to redeem themselves after suffering a meltdown that resulted to a 78-71 defeat to Adamson.
Coach Aldin Ayo took responsibility for the defeat, confident that the Tigers have learned from the setback.
"Kung may sisisihin dyan ako dahil ako yung coach eh. But rest assured that we are going to do our job. Sisiguraduhin namin na mabago yung nangyari especially sa endgame," he said.
Ateneo, meanwhile, guns to extend its unbeaten run to five when it battles winless NU at 2 p.m.
The Blue Eagles are coming off a week-long break after a low-scoring 61-55 affair against the Tamaraws, and coach Tab Baldwin hopes that his side gets their shots going this time out.
But more motivated are the Bulldogs of coach Jamike Jarin, who have suffered another heartache with their tight 80-79 heartbreaker against UP as they hope to pull off the biggest upset of the season.
