Guest Team Lyceum Pirates is having a great debut in NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. The Pirates downed the CSB Blazers in their first game in the NCAA with a score of 75-63 and defeated UPHSD Altas with a score of 93-87 in their second game. This puts them on top spot on the team standing closely followed by Letran, Emilio Aguinaldo College, San Beda and San Sebastian with 1 win each. Altas has dropped last in the ranking with 2 lost in two games along with JRU who is still yet to win this season.

Season 87 is full of surprises. The Championship is up for grabs to any team hungry enough to win it. Sudan Daniel of San Beda is out for the whole season due to an ACL (Arterior cruciate ligament) injury. Jose Rizal College has lost two of their foreign players (Joe Etame and John Nchotu) and would test the depth of their lineup. Mapua is a team to watch with their latest addition, the six-foot-seven Fil-Palestinian rookie Yousef Taha. The EAC Generals has recruited to Filipino Americans cagers. six-foot-two guard Joshua Torralba and six-foot-one Igee King joins the Generals lineup to strengthen their bid to take home the championship this year.
