UST made it back to the playoffs after getting eliminated in Season 77. They finished the double-round eliminations at first place with 11 wins against 3 losses. The FEU Tamaraws had the same win–loss record but were ranked lower on an inferior -10 quotient against UST. The last time that the Tigers got the top seed was in Season 58 when they won their third straight championship. It was also the last time that they won 11 games at the end of the eliminations.[2]
They had a twice-to-beat advantage over their final four opponent and defending champions, the NU Bulldogs who they defeated in one game to advance to the finals against FEU. NU has been the Tigers' final four opponent for the third time in the last four years.[3] UST became the fifth team in UAAP history to reach the finals after missing the final four playoffs in the previous season.[4]
The Tamaraws won the series in three games, ending a decade-long wait to claim their 20th men's basketball championship.[5] The Tigers who were facing FEU in the finals for the first time since 1979 won both games against them in the elimination rounds.
UST recorded the most three point shots made in the season with 89 for a league-best 31% field goal percentage. They also held the highest free throw conversion of 68.4% among all teams.
Graduating players Kevin Ferrer and Ed Daquioag were included in the Mythical team selection during the presentation of awards for Season 78. Ferrer was chosen back-to-back Player of the Week by the UAAP Press Corps for the duration of September 23–27[6] and on the week of September 30-October 4,[7] while Daquioag received the citation for the period of September 9–13.[8]

Coaching staff
Estong Ballesteros, the Growling Tigers' assistant coach for offense and trainer has resigned from his post. He had informed head coach Bong dela Cruz of his decision to concentrate on coaching the Philippine National Police basketball team in the MBL and as deputy to Lawrence Chongson at Tanduay in the PBA D-League.[9]
Rene Baena was hired to replace Ballesteros. The veteran coach who was a member of UST's track and field team was an assistant coach of the Adamson Baby Falcons juniors' basketball team. He has coached the juniors teams of La Salle Greenhills, Ateneo U13, and the San Beda Red Cubs in the past. He has also served as an assistant coach of the UE Red Warriors team that made it to the UAAP finals in 2009.[10]
Four-time Philippine Basketball Association MVP Alvin Patrimonio has also come on board as consultant and trainer of the team's big men.[11]
