La Salle, which was suspended on the previous tournament, went on to win the championship, sweeping the UE Red Warriors 2–0 in the Finals series.

JVee Casio and Pocholo Villanueva were awarded co-finals most valuable player honors, for leading La Salle to their seventh men's UAAP championship.

Results on top and to the right of the dashes are for first-round games; those to the bottom and to the left of it are second-round games.After their heartbreaking semi-final loss against the UST Growling Tigers on 2006, the Warriors won several off-season tournaments, such as the Collegiate Champions League, where they beat the NCAA champions San Beda Red Lions.

On their second round opener, the Warriors had to ward off the persistent Blue Eagles in the endgame to preserve their winning streak.

After another relatively easy win against Adamson, La Salle had a scare when FEU managed to hang on but were ultimately defeated.

The UAAP Technical Committee junked La Salle's protest, since American Kirk Long didn't actually enter the playing court, hence did not affect the outcome of the game.

Transferee Khasim Mirza made up for last year's Finals MVP Jojo Duncil's departure, with accurate three-point shooting.

On their rematch with the Green Archers, the Tigers forced overtime after coming up with a 13–0 run at the final two minutes of regulation.

With momentum on their side, the Tigers were humbled by a streaking UE Red Warriors, who staged their own rally at the fourth quarter to hold off any UST run.

On the fourth quarter, the Tams, thanks to three-point shooting by Paul Sanga, cut the lead into ten; they'd run out of time however as the Tigers advanced to the playoffs to assure of defending their title for a little longer.

However, La Salle countered with their own 5–0 run with 5 minutes to go; Ateneo caught up with another Baclao tip-in and a three-point field goal by Chris Tiu to cut the deficit into one point.

With half a minute remaining, La Salle turned over the ball, Tiu drove hard to the basket and made the shot, giving the lead to Ateneo.

[3] La Salle beat the Eagles in the sold out Araneta Coliseum for their fifth and last encounter for the year to advance to the Finals.

La Salle eventually took the lead and never looked back for the rest of the game en route to their seventh UAAP men's basketball championship (excluding the 2004 title).

[4] UE, rusty from a three-week layoff, started strong, having an 11–0 run to close the first quarter leading, 21–14.
