History

UP is one of the founding members (1938) of the UAAP. It was also a founding member and the originator of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the year 1924.[1] Prior to the establishment of the Diliman campus, the campus was in what is now University of the Philippines Manila.

The Fighting Maroons won there first championship title in NCAA in the NCAA Season 0 (1924–1925), they also became the champions in NCAA Season 1 (1925–1926), and NCAA Season 2 (1926–1927) (as 3–peat champions). UP Fighting Maroons won their last championship in the NCAA in NCAA Season 5 (1929–1930). After 6 years, UP Fighting Maroons permanently withdrew from competing in NCAA.

In 1938, Far Eastern University, National University, the University of the Philippines and the University of Santo Tomas formed the University Athletic Association of the Philippines.[2] UP Fighting Maroons won their first championship in the UAAP in UAAP Season 2 (1939–1940).

As of UAAP Season 87, UP Fighting Maroons won four championship titles in UAAP men's basketball.

Perspective

Until 1997, the UAAP primarily ranked the teams by tournament points using FIBA's method. Starting in 1998, the UAAP primarily ranked by winning percentage. There's no difference in ranking once all games were played, but in the middle of the season, rankings made by these two methods may differ.
