All-Star Game

The Games of the NCAA All-Star were held last September 1 at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan City. The event served as a transition event from the first round going into the second round. The Team Saints, composed of stars from Perpetual Help, San Beda, Letran, Benilde, and the season hosts, San Sebastian, defeated The Team Heroes, consisting of Arellano, Lyceum, Jose Rizal University, Emilio Aguinaldo College, and Mapua; 84–80. Prince Eze was named as the All-Star MVP who went double-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks.[4]

Controversies

Wrong uniform

On July 11, 2017, The Altas were clad in maroon when they were scheduled to be donning their light uniforms. Hence, the league ruled that the University of Perpetual Help was ineligible to play in its matchup against the Blazers earlier in the day. Citing the rule which states, “any athlete whose playing uniform does not conform with the rules will be ineligible to participate in a given game/match”, the management committee overturned UPHSD's 69-65 win in favor of the Blazers.[5]
