It is understandable to expect that in Final Four stagings, the most competitive showdown will be the one between the No. 2 and No. 3 squads.

The way the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament has turned out, however, will defy that expectation.

La Salle and University of the Philippines (UP) have dominated the tournament, putting such a gulf between them and the rest of the field that both of them seem untouchable on their way to another Finals showdown.

MANILA, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao proved to be the brightest star in the UAAP for the second straight year after being named MVP of the Season 87 men’s basketball tournament.

After another masterclass season, Quiambao was once again the runaway MVP winner with 81.357 statistical points after averaging 16.64 points, 8.64 rebounds, 4.07 assists, and a steal in the elimination round.

The 23-year-old forward became the first La Salle Green Archer to win back-to-back MVPs since Ben Mbala in  2016 and 2017.

MANILA, Philippines — Kacey Dela Rosa’s 14 consecutive double-double outings in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament led to another MVP award.

For the second straight year, the Ateneo center showed her dominance with a league-best 96.286 statistical points after averaging 22.07 points, 16.0 rebounds, and 2.29 blocks — topping all three departments in the elimination round.

The Gilas Pilipinas player joined Cassy Tioseco as the Blue Eagles to win two consecutive UAAP MVPs since the latter won in 2006 and 2007.
