The UAAP Season 85 basketball tournaments are the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball tournaments for the 2022–23 school year.
The collegiate men's and women's tournaments began on October 1, 2022.[1][2] The Ateneo Blue Eagles reclaimed the men's title from their Finals opponents UP Fighting Maroons. The NU Lady Bulldogs 108-game winning streak was snapped in the elimination round by the De La Salle Lady Archers, but NU still won in the Finals against La Salle to win their 7th consecutive title.
The high school boys' tournament began on January 15, 2023, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] The FEU Diliman Baby Tamaraws defeated the Adamson Baby Falcons for their ninth title.
Tournament format
[edit]The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format.
In cases where a team won all elimination round games, the UAAP has removed the twice-to-beat advantage for the second-seeded team in the second round of the stepladder semifinals.[5]
Fr. Aldrin Suan, UAAP president, said that the league reverted to its pre-pandemic Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday schedule.[6]
The league also included a "head coaches' challenge" based on the FIBA challenge system. This gives each team one challenge per game to review questionable calls by the officials.[7]
Dickie Bachmann, former Alaska Aces governor in the Philippine Basketball Association, was appointed as the UAAP basketball commissioner for this season. Bachmann's term as basketball commissioner was supposed to last until the league's 86th season[8] but he foregone the position as he was appointed as the new Philippine Sports Commission chairman.[9][10] Ronnie Magsanoc was initially named commissioner to replace Bachmann.[11] Xaxy Nunag was eventually named Bachmann's permanent replacement.[12]
