In the Men's championship, the UST Growling Tigers rallied in the Finals series to beat the Ateneo Blue Eagles, 2 games to 1 to win their 19th basketball championship.

These are the results of the different rivalry games:
Host team in boldface.
Tiebreakers:
With UST, FEU and Ateneo tied on the first spot, the points difference system was used - UST emerged with the highest quotient, so FEU and Ateneo figured in a classification game to determine which team gets the twice to beat advantage in the semifinals. FEU won the game, 49-48.
With Ateneo's 12-0 sweep of the elimination round, the step ladder format will be used. After finishing 3rd and 4th in the elimination round, Adamson and UPIS will face for the right to face FEU-FERN in the next round in a twice-to-win disadvantage. Whoever wins in the semifinals between the winner of the knockout game and FEU-FERN will emerge into the Finals with Ateneo in a best of three series.
The first round is a one-game playoff.
