Men's tournament
[edit]Elimination round
[edit]Format:
- Tournament divided into two halves: winners of the two halves dispute the championship in a best-of-3 finals series unless:
- A team wins both rounds. In that case, the winning team automatically wins the championship.
- A third team has a better cumulative record than both finalists. In that case, the third team has to win in a playoff against the team that won the second round to face the team that won in the first round in a best-of-3 finals series.

Taking the first round pennant was San Sebastian, losing only to Jose Rizal College, 92–93. The Letran Knights dropped two games in the first round to Mapua, 82–84, and San Sebastian, 75–79, and figured in a three-way tie for second place with Mapua Cardinals and Perpetual Help College.
Sophomore quintet Perpetual Help Altas could have sweep the second round if not for the loss to San Sebastian Stags in their last outing. Letran managed to force a tie for first place with the Atlas and a playoff ensued with the Knights winning comfortably, 100–79, to arrange a championship setto with defending champions San Sebastian for the third time in five years.
Letran showed up with only 10 players. Their 11th man Salvador Ramos was disqualified from playing right from the start of the league after it was found out that he had already graduated.
