The UAAP Season 85 men’s basketball best-of-three finals showdown begins Sunday in a rematch between defending champion University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons and last season’s runner-up Ateneo Blue Eagles.

The Fighting Maroons are looking to repeat last season’s title run and become back-to-back champions in just one year, having ended their 36-year drought just in May.

The Blue Eagles, underdogs this time according to coach Tab Baldwin, are looking to reclaim their hold of men’s basketball dominance.
