Hindi magkamayaw ang netizens sa social media sa pagkapanalo ng UP Fighting Maroons kontra Adamson Soaring Falcons, kung saan ang final score ay 89-87, sa Smart Araneta Coliseum, ngayong gabi, November 28.
Makasaysayan ito para sa University of the Philippines dahil ngayon lang ulit makakaabot ang kanilang koponan sa UAAP Finals sa loob ng 32 taon.
