UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- Far Eastern University-Diliman is assured of a spot in the Final 4 of the UAAP Season 88 Junior High School Basketball Tournament after a 100-79 rout over De La Salle Zobel, Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.Dwyne Enriquez delivered his best performance yet as a Baby Tamaraw, finishing with 34 points, six rebounds, six assists, and five steals to lead FEU-D toward a 9-3 record in third place, keeping its hopes alive for a twice-to-beat advantage.Later, Adamson University — now 7-5 and in fourth place and a half-a-game lead over idle University of the East — stayed alive in the Final Four race with a 76-41 rout of the University of the Philippines Integrated School.The Baby Tamaraws, who led by as much as 70-49 off Enriquez&#x27;s jumper with 4:32 left in the third quarter, briefly let up, allowing the Junior Archers to creep back into the game.Lorenzo Purugganan, Isaac Purugganan, John Mindanao, and Jose Asis combined for a 12-0 run to cut the deficit to 70-61.However, Enriquez, Griffin Barlan, and Prince Cariño quickly responded, giving FEU-D a comfortable 78-62 cushion heading into the final period.The margin proved insurmountable, as FEU-D extended its lead to its biggest of the game, 98-73, on Cariño&#x27;s jumper with 2:19 remaining and coasted to the final buzzer.&quot;We need to get this game and the other two remaining games,&quot; said Baby Tamaraws coach Muriel Garcia. &quot;We need to climb up. Yung last two games namin, big games yun. Actually, pag nagkaroon ng step-ladder, wala ng advantage. Unfortunately, hindi namin nakuha yung NUNS.&quot;Muntik na kaya lang talagang ganun pero nag-move forward na kami dun. Ito nga, inaasikaso namin ang La Salle, UE at UST,&quot; the long-time FEU staff member added.Cariño posted a double-double for FEU-D with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Andrei Chavez and Prince Pineda added 16 and 13 points, respectively.This marked FEU-D&#x27;s second win over La Salle this season, having also prevailed 80-65 in their first-round meeting last October 1.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1763288724666UAAP S88 U16 Basketball - Keefy Iledan-08649.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Keefy Iledan of Adamson in action against UPIS in the UAAP Season 88 Junior High School Basketball Tournament, November 16, 2025 at the Araneta Coliseum.

As I&#x27;ve said, we&#x27;ll always take it one game at a time. The next game will be La Salle, and we&#x27;ll prepare for that,&quot; he added.Iledan led the Baby Falcons with a double-double of 18 points and 17 rebounds, while Del Monte added 13 points and Jordan contributed 12.In the first round, Adamson also defeated UPIS 85-50 on September 24.The Fighting Maroons now sit at 1-11 with an average losing margin of 51.2 points.Isaac Purugganan led La Salle with 19 points and six assists, followed by Lorenzo Purugganan with 17 points.
