De La Salle University, declared champion by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) headed by president Lito Puyat, hired a new coach in Gabby Velasco, who replaced incumbent Derrick Pumaren. Far Eastern University, the UAAP board's recognized champion, lost the services of power forward Victor Pablo from graduation.

  1. ^ a b c Adamson clinches #1 seed automatically by way of superior quotient; second-seed playoff: FEU 101–87 La Salle

The Adamson Falcons of coach Orly Bauzon clinched the first finals berth by way of superior quotient, which was made possible by FEU's 87–76 win over UST in their final elimination assignment. This was marked by the game's last three minutes and forty-seven seconds were replayed due to a power failure at the venue.[2]

The FEU Tamaraws advanced to the championship against Adamson Falcons by defeating the De La Salle Green Archers, 101–87, in a playoff.[3] The Tamaraws, coached by Alfredo Amador, scored a two-game sweep over the Falcons to retain the senior's basketball title.[4]
