The UAAP Season 87 basketball tournaments are the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball tournaments for the 2024–25 school year. The University of the Philippines Diliman are the hosts.

In the men's tournament, the De La Salle Green Archers finished first, with the UP Fighting Maroons second. The UST Growling Tigers finished third, while the Adamson Soaring Falcons eliminated the UE Red Warriors in the 4th seed playoff. Both UP and La Salle won the semifinals match-ups over Adamson and UST, respectively, marking their second overall head-to-head UAAP Finals matchup. For the fourth consecutive season, the men's basketball finals series reached a do-or-die third game - the longest such streak so far for the tournament in UAAP Final Four history. UP defeated La Salle to win their 4th men's championship.

In the women's tournament, the NU Lady Bulldogs advanced to the finals outright after winning all elimination round games. The Adamson Lady Falcons defeated the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the first round of the stepladder. UST defeated Adamson on the next round, setting up a rematch from last year's finals with NU. The series lasted three full games, with NU defeating UST to win their 8th women's championship.

In the junior high school tournament, the UE Junior Warriors finished first, followed by the FEU Diliman Baby Tamaraws; they have the twice-to-beat advantage against the NUNS Bullpups and the UST Tiger Cubs, respectively. While UE defeated NUNS, UST upset FEU Diliman in the semifinals. The Junior Warriors then defeated the Tiger Cubs to win the first junior high school championship, and first basketball championship for UE since 1985.

## Tournament format

[edit]

The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format.

The UAAP held championships in the college division and the junior high school tournament on the first semester of the academic year, while the boys' and girls' championships will be held in the second semester.

Xavy Nunag was named basketball commissioner for the third consecutive year. Assisting him are his deputies Mariana Lopa and Marvin Bienvenida who will supervise the women’s and high school basketball tournaments, respectively. The UAAP also announced the return of the girls' tournament, last played in 2020.[1]

Teams customarily assigned to wear light jerseys during certain games would be allowed to wear dark uniforms instead as long as Commissioner's Office permits. This privilege was not exercised last Season 86 when this change was introduced. The Green Archers is set to be the first team to take advantage of the new rule in their scheduled opening game against Ateneo.[2]

## Teams

[edit]

Basketball is a mandatory event in the UAAP, where all 8 universities are required to field in teams in the men's tournament.

The girls' tournament is a demonstration sport last held in UAAP Season 82 (2020), and is not mandatory.

The opening ceremonies and opening day men's doubleheader shall be held at Araneta Coliseum. Subsequent men's, women's and junior high school first round games are scheduled to be held there, and in the SM Mall of Asia Arena, mostly in sextupleheaders. In game days where only the men's teams are to play in either arena, the women's and junior high school games are held in the Adamson University gym on the same day.[15]

For the second round, there are 5 games per day held in one venue, with the Filoil EcoOil Centre and the Quadricentennial Pavilion hosting games. The affected women's and junior high school games will be done after the men's elimination round concludes, and will be held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre. This was done to have earlier start times for men's games.[16] For the postponed games due to Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami), it was included in the games that will be held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.

For senior high school basketball, all first round games held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.

### Discipline

[edit]

The following were disciplined throughout the course of the season:

* Coach Topex Robinson of the De La Salle Green Archers for "responded with language unbecoming of a coach", and Reyland Torres of the UP FIghting Maroons, for passing "in very close proximity to Coach Robinson twice", in their first round game against each other; both were given stern warnings by the UAAP. Torres accused Robinson of spitting on him, while La Salle accused Torres of using profane language, but evidence for both were inconclusive.[39]
* Mo Tounkara of the UST Growling Tigers for being called for two technical fouls in their game against the De La Salle Green Archers; Tounkara served a one-game suspension against the Ateneo Blue Eagles.[40]
* Precious Momowei of the UE Red Warriors, for being called for two unsportsmanlike fouls in their game against the UST Growling Tigers. Momowei served a one-game suspension against the Ateneo Blue Eagles.[41]

## Women's tournament

[edit]

The women's tournament started on September 8, 2024 at the Araneta Coliseum, with defending champions UST winning against UE.[42]
