UP Fighting Maroons vs. University of the East Red Warriors
UE wins 77-69
Aug 6, 2009, 2pm
Araneta Coliseum
UP had a chance to seal the win in regulation, but Rookie Alvin Padilla missed 1 of 2 free throws with UP leading by 3 points with 9 seconds left. Then Acuna of UE beat the buzzer with a 3 point shot and tied the game at 65, sending the game into overtime.
In the extra period, it was all UE as veteran Elmer Espiritu took over the game, leading UE to a 77-69 win over the maroons. Woody Co led UP with 23 points, but could not lead UP to its second win and ties NU and Adamson at the bottom of the standings.
Although the loss is heartbreaking, it was a big improvement from last year, specially versus UE, where they lost to UE by 30 points. Hoping UP bounces back this saturday against UST for their final game of the 1st round. Game time will be 4pm at the Araneta Coliseum.
Please support the UP Fighting Maroons!

Mark Lopez drives to the hoop for 2 of his 15 points, he also contributed 5 rebounds and cannot be seen in the stats is his defensive intensity in this game.
