Fedencio Oblina of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) was found to be ineligible as he failed his NCEE examinations.

A source of the Manila Standard newspaper confirmed that while Oblina failed the NCEE twice, he passed it on 1985.

[1] NU won their first game in six years with an 89–75 win over the University of the Philippines (UP) squad that was shorthanded by injuries.

After the Warriors extended their lead to twenty points at 83–63, Ateneo came alive and had a 22–2 run sparked by a three-point shot by Joseph Kenneth Nieto to tie the game at 85–all.

After Chuatico split his free-throws and Ateneo retaining possession, the Blue Eagles dribbled the time until a driving Eric Reyes was fouled by Jerry Codiñera with three seconds left.
