Tomas as the top teams in the standings, while UE fell to 2-8 and now sits at No.6.DLSU will be looking to remain unbeaten in the second round, but it will be a tough task as they are to face National University on Sunday, 4 PM, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.Meanwhile, the Lady Warriors will be looking to snap their skid when they go up against Ateneo de Manila University on the same day at 2 PM.

De La Salle University survived a tough showing from University of the East to win their second straight game sans Angel Canino.
