Four teams, two final berths.

The fiercely fought UAAP Season 77 men’s basketball Final Four comes down to an expected explosive conclusion Wednsday with a twin KO slate at the Smart Araneta Coliseum featuring squads with just about equal chances of pulling through.

Top seed Ateneo and No. 4 National U dispute the first championship slot at 2 p.m. while second-ranked Far Eastern and No. 3 defending champion La Salle contest the other finals berth at 6 p.m.

Check out the key numbers in both match-up’s first semis meetings.
