Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — Adamson University&#x27;s hopes of entering the UAAP Season 87 Final Four remained alive after its gutsy win over University of the East.AJ Fransman tallied his career-best of 14 points on top of nine rebounds to pace the Soaring Falcons, 45-37, in their men&#x27;s basketball clash on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.&quot;In reality, we tried avoiding talking about the Final Four,&quot; said AdU head coach Nash Racela after the game. &quot;I&#x27;m sure na it&#x27;s always on the back of their minds, baka may pressure dahil sa struggles, pero we just wanted to take it a game at a time dahil doon sa five losses.&quot;&quot;So we just acknowledged our mistakes, and ang maganda sa players namin, tuloy-tuloy lang. Pinilit lang talaga nila,&quot; he added.This is the first win of Adamson in the second round, allowing them to improve to 4-7 and also end their five-game losing skid. Helping them do this was the 14-point, four-assist outing of Matt Erolon, and Ced Manzano&#x27;s 12-point, 11-rebound double-double.This game is also the first where one of the teams scored under 40 since the 61-39 win of National University over Far Eastern University in Season 82 last September 25, 2019. Only a one-point game after the first 30 minutes of action, 33-32, with AdU in the driver&#x27;s seat, the San Marcelino-based squad charged on a 10-to-nothing run in the fourth after Fransman scored eight and Erolon had two for a 43-32 lead. It was not until the 4:05 mark when UE made a basket in the final quarter following a Precious Momowei lay-in, and it was not enough to spark a run as the Red Warriors eventually fell to 6-4 despite cutting their deficit to eight, 45-37, late in the game.Momowei had 12 markers and 17 rebounds to lead his team, but he also tallied nine turnovers in their loss.On the other hand, the Soaring Falcons are now fifth and are just a game behind University of Santo Tomas for the No.4 spot, that is why Racela is urging his boys to show more hunger in their last three games.&quot;Same mentality kami, we will try to do our part and do our best. Preparation is the most important part kasi it can give us confidence in the games. Mahaba haba ang break, so we can recover pa,&quot; said Racela<div>THE SCORES: </div>Adamson 45 -- Fransman 14, Erolon 14, Manzano 12, Montebon 3, Anabo 2, Calisay 0, Yerro 0, Barasi 0, Ramos 0, Mantua 0, Ojarikre 0.UE 37 -- Momowei 12, Fikes 9, Abate 8, Lingolingo 5, Maga 2, Spandonis 1, Galang 0, J.
