MANILA, Philippines (Aug 5, 2011) - University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons needed a second half surge to upset Far Eastern Universiy Tamaraws to snatch a stunning 73-63 triumph in the 74th UAAP men's basketball at the Araneta Coliseum today.
It was an upset only in the sense that the Maroons, consistently the cellar dweller in previous seasons, had an unflattering 0-14 record last year whereas the Tamaraws were the runners-up.
