Result overturned; Game 1 ordered replayed

The Green Archers came out on top, registering an 80-77 victory over FEU. [3] There was a technical error committed by the officials working the game. The error in question came in the last 2:26 of the game and La Salle ahead. The table officials failed to notify the referees of the game that La Sallite Tony Espinosa had already his fifth final foul against the driving Johnny Abarrientos.

Espinosa was still able to play for a few seconds more before FEU coach Arturo Valenzona and team manager Anton Montinola were able to approach the table officials to point out the mistake. The game was delayed for about five minutes. When play resumed, UAAP commissioner Boy Codiñera and his officials failed to slap the necessary technical foul on De La Salle.

The Green Archers went on to win the game. But when FEU team captain Victor Pablo signed the official scoreboard, he placed the game under protest. The UAAP board deferred the traditional post-game award. They wanted to wait until a decision on FEU's protest could be reached.

Two days of apprehension, protest, and Tuesday's marathon hearings, UAAP officials ordered a replay of the championship match. [4]
