Photo from UAAP Media.</div>MANILA (UPDATED) — Far Eastern University&#x27;s hopes of entering the UAAP Season 87 Final Four remain alive after its crucial victory over the University of the East.The Tamaraws moved up to 4-7 after they stunned the Red Warriors, 59-51, during their Sunday afternoon faceoff at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion in España, Manila.Rookie forward Veejay Pre had 20 points, nine rebounds, and a block to follow his 31-point career game in their last outing against University of Santo Tomas on Wednesday, while veteran ace Jorick Bautista followed him with 12 markers, four dimes, and two boards. &quot;Kumasa lang ako,&quot; said Pre after the game. &quot;Pero ang pinaka-main goal ko talaga ay makatulong and manalo every game, at mapakita sa tao na mananalo kami at kayang-kaya namin &#x27;to. Naging motivation lang sa akin yung mga pagkatalo namin. Sinabi ni Coach Sean [Chambers] sa&#x27;kin na: &#x27;I believe in you,&#x27; at parang na-realize ko nga na kailangan ko magpatuluy-tuloy,&quot; he added. This was evident as early in the first as the Morayta-based team opened the game strongly with a 23-9 start. This enabled FEU to lead by as much as 18, 31-13, later in the second quarter.The Recto cagers eventually brought down the lead to seven, 54-47, following a Precious Momowei drop step at the 3:08 mark of the fourth, but that was the nearest that they could get as Wello Lingolingo and Rainer Maga failed to convert the plays that could have cut the lead down further. Chambers said that what helped his squad fend off the late run of UE was their strong start, and he also pointed out how his young troops are now showing maturity in the end game after getting much-needed experience from their earlier assignments. &quot;I think the key is we got out strong, but we also just sustained the lead,&quot; said the former Alaska Milk superstar. &quot;And they are still young guys, right? There&#x27;s still some rookies out there with Jedric [Daa], Veejay, Janrey [Pasaol], and Mo [Konateh], but they&#x27;re growing up right now.&quot;On the other hand, the Red Warriors are now at 6-5 as this is their third defeat in four appearances in the second round so far. The result of the FEU-UE game also means that defending champion De La Salle University is now assured of a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final 4.Fortunately for the Red Warriors, who were led by Momowei&#x27;s 18-point, 21-rebound game with three steals and two assists, they are still in third place and a game ahead of the fourth-seeded UST Growling Tigers who are at 5-6.Also contributing for the Jack Santiago-coached squad Maga who had a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double, while John Abate and Lingolingo followed with seven and five, respectively. <div>The Scores:</div>FEU 59 – Pre 20, Bautista 12, Alforque 9, Pasaol 7, Anonuevo 5, Konateh 3, Daa 3, Montemayor 0, Ona 0, Nakai 0.UE 51 – Momowei 18, Maga 12, Abate 7, Lingolingo 5, J. Cruz-Dumont 4, Fikes 3, Mulingtapang 2, Galang 0, Wilson 0, H. Cruz-Dumont 0.Quarters: 23-9, 34-20, 47-34, 59-51.<div> </div><div>RELATED VIDEO:</div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPnTsJCDZ-qB60Q&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script>
