Event host in boldface

  Qualified to the Finals
  Qualified to second-seed playoff
The Adamson Falcons of coach Orly Bauzon, clinch the first finals berth by way of superior quotient, this was made possible by FEU's 87–76 win over UST in their final elimination assignment in which the last three minutes and forty-seven seconds of the game were replayed due to a brownout at the venue.[2]

The FEU Tamaraws advance to the championship against Adamson Falcons by defeating De La Salle Green Archers, 101–87, in a playoff.[3] The Tamaraws, coach by Alfredo Amador, scored a two-game sweep over the Falcons to retain the senior's basketball title.[4]
