February 22: The Grandslam champions San Miguel Beermen scored their second win without a loss by turning back Pop Cola, 113-108.
August 7: The Beermen clinch the win-five incentive and a playoff for one of the two finals berth by winning over Presto Tivoli, 110-109, on Alvin Teng's two free throws with no time left.
San Miguel will have their worst finish as they failed to advance into the next round for the first time since the 1986 Third Conference when the ballclub return to the league after a two-conference leave.
Ramon Fernandez, Samboy Lim, Hector Calma and Yves Dignadice, along with coach Norman Black, were all part of the PBA-backed National team in the Beijing Asian Games.
The Beermen did welcome the return of Ricardo Brown from the lineup but he only saw action in their first game, a 147-149 loss to Añejo Rum on October 2.
