The UP Fighting Maroons are champions once again.

In an electrifying showdown, the Maroons outlasted the DLSU Green Archers, 66-62, to bring the UAAP Men’s Basketball crown back to Diliman. It was a hard-fought victory, filled with grit, determination, and pure heart—something UP fans have come to expect from their beloved squad.

Leading the charge was none other than JD Cagulangan, who delivered a stellar performance throughout the series. Named the UAAP Season 87 Finals MVP, Cagulangan averaged 13.66 points, 4.33 rebounds, and 4.66 assists per game—proving to be the steady force that UP needed to cross the finish line.

This win marks another milestone for the Fighting Maroons, solidifying their spot as one of the most formidable teams in UAAP history. UP’s defense held strong in the final moments, fending off the Green Archers’ relentless push to level the score.

For UP fans, it’s more than just a championship—this is a celebration of resilience and the fighting spirit that has defined the team. And for JD Cagulangan? He’s now etched his name in UP basketball lore.

What a night for the Fighting Maroons and the UP community. The crown is back where it belongs—Diliman.
