MANILA, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao was officially named MVP for the second straight year moments before La Salle’s do-or-die Game 2 against University of the Philippines in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena. 

After another masterclass season with 81.357 statistical points after averaging 16.64 points, 8.64 rebounds, 4.07 assists, and a steal in the elimination round, Quiambao became the first Green Archer to win back-to-back MVPs since Ben Mbala in 2017.
