University of the Philippines remains unscathed so far in both the men's and women's basketball tournaments of UAAP Season 86.
Their foreign student-athletes, Malick Diouf and Favour Onoh, have been crucial to the Fighting Maroons' perfect 3-0 starts in their respective divisions.
His numbers and UP's perfect record were more than enough to earn Diouf the first Collegiate Press Corps UAAP Men's Player of the Week for the period September 30 to October 8. "I'm not here for individual awards. I just wanna play. I'm just here to play and help my team. Everybody wants to improve so is a bonus," said Diouf, who was unanimously voted for the weekly nod over over La Salle's Kevin Quiambao, UE's Precious Momowei, NU's Kean Baclaan, and Adamson's Ced Manzano.
The Nigerian center put up 18 points and 15 rebounds in their upset of NU, earning her the Collegiate Press Corps' first-ever UAAP Women's Player of the Week citation.
