They defeated the NU Bulldogs who had qualified to the Final Four for the first time in 11 years, and lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the best-of-three championship series via sweep, making their opponents five-peat champions of the tournament.[2]

UST later won the Philippine Collegiate Champions League title in December and avenged their UAAP Finals loss to Ateneo by beating them in a best-of-three series, 2-1.[3]

Jeric Teng, who was named PCCL's tournament MVP missed three games in the elimination round of the UAAP due to an MCL injury in August, while PCCL Coach of the year Pido Jarencio missed Game One of the PCCL Finals when he got infected with measles.[4][5]
