UST, Ateneo and NU qualified to the championship round outright. UP and Letran were tied in the standings and held a one-game playoff to determine the final qualifier. UP won 35–28.
Championship round
In the penultimate game that would have decided the championship, UST defeated Ateneo 55–53 in overtime. Ateneo led after the end of regulation 47–46, and Ateneo players celebrated; a retabulation saw the game tied at 47–all. Both captains decided to play an extra five minutes to decide the winner, however, one of the referees, Lt. Bowen had already left. Lou Salvador officiated the overtime by his lonesome, and Ateneo put the game under protest, arguing that in a championship match, there should at least be two referees. UST's Father Sancho told the NCAA board that there were instances that games were handled by only one referee; Ateneo's Father Hurley argued that this should only happen with the consent of both captains, with Huxley saying that they agreed to the overtime as there would had been a fight if they decided otherwise. It was then decided to bring the matter to a neutral body to be chaired by Regino Ylanan. Ylanan chose Victor Buencamino and SIlvestre Torres as members of this neutral board; if UST lost the protest, they would ask to make the championship decided on a best-of-three series.
After three meetings, the body decided to dismiss Ateneo's protest. The committee, taking into account that it was not UST's fault that Lt. Bowen left after thinking that the game was over. Father Hurley accepted the decision of the body. UST formalized the championship with a win against UP, finishing the season undefeated.
