History

Glowing Goldies era

The basketball team was previously known as UST Glowing Goldies until 1992.[4][5] The team won one NCAA championship in 1930. UST then withdrew permanently in NCAA in 1936 and co-founded the UAAP in 1938.[6] Upon the resumption of the UAAP games after the Pacific War, the Goldies were in every championship match from 1946 up to 1956. From 1964 to 1971, the team met the UE Red Warriors eight times in a championship match, with the Red Warriors winning seven encounters.[7]

In the 50th season of UAAP in 1987, the team's Fedencio Oblina was found to be ineligible as he failed his National College Entrance Examinations (NCEE). The board then forfeited all of UST's win where Oblina played, with the Goldies going from a 6–3 record (tied for third) to a 2–7 record, at seventh place ahead of winless NU Bulldogs. The forfeitures benefited Adamson, Ateneo and FEU. Ateneo found themselves at the top of the standings with an 8–1 record. A source of the Manila Standard newspaper confirmed that while Oblina failed the NCEE twice, he passed it in 1985.[8] The UAAP Board then confirmed that Oblina has been meted with a lifetime ban.[9]

The UAAP introduced a new tournament format known as Final Four in UAAP Season 56. At its first year of implementation includes a four-year run as champions,[10] from the 1993–94 season, where Growling Tigers swept the elimination round with an immaculate 14–0 record (automatic champions), up to the 1996–97 season,[11] where they defeated the De La Salle Green Archers for the third consecutive time in a Finals series. The Tigers were led by coach Aric del Rosario from the 1992–93 season up to the 2003–04 season.[12]

In 2006, the Tigers defeated the Blue Eagles of the Ateneo de Manila University to win their eighteenth UAAP men's title, and their first since the 1996 season.[11] Former Glowing Goldie Alfredo Jarencio piloted UST to the championship as a rookie coach.[5][13] In 2013, during season 76, the Tigers, led by Jarencio, became the first #4 rank team to beat #1 seed since the implementation of Final Four in UAAP.[14] The team defeated top-seeded NU Bulldogs twice in semifinals to face La Salle in Finals after 14 years since 1999.[15]

Rivalries

De La Salle Green Archers
Main article: La Salle–UST rivalry

The rivalry between De La Salle Green Archers and the UST Growling Tigers is contested at the UAAP. Both were known for their numerous basketball championship matches in the 1990s, with UST winning four straight titles[10] at the expense of the Green Archers. Prior to La Salle joining the UAAP the two schools met in the championship during 1948–1949 season of the National Seniors Open, a yearly tournament of top collegiate and commercial teams in the country. La Salle defeated UST in overtime to win the title.[16]

The rivalry began on consecutive Finals series in men's basketball between the two schools in the 1990s, with UST winning each time, capping a four-year championship run.[10] La Salle was defeated three consecutive years in the Finals (1994–1996) until 1998 when La salle defeated UST in the semifinals to begin their own four-year championship run, including a 1999 series against UST in which the Tigers won game 1. La Salle bounced back defeating UST in overtime for the 1999 UAAP title. Their basketball rivalry diminished in latter years due to UST's decline. The Game 1 finals victory was their last against La Salle until 2007 when UST won in overtime; at this point, UST's basketball program regressed, but they won in 2006 when La Salle was suspended after admitting they had unknowingly fielded two ineligible players.[17] La Salle would then win all games until 2011. La Salle defeated UST in overtime in the 2013 UAAP basketball championship.

Since 1988, La Salle leads the men's basketball rivalry 54–31, including playoff games 12–9. If the forfeited games are reversed, the head-to-head record is 60–25 for La Salle.

UE Red Warriors

The UST–UE rivalry began once the UE Red Warriors became contenders during the mid-1960s to early 1970s, an almost a decade dominated by the Red Warriors. The Glowing Goldies met the Red Warriors eight times in the Finals of the basketball tournament, with the latter winning seven encounters. It is the longest finals appearance between two teams in the UAAP history.[7] In 1967, both teams ended up co-champions in the UAAP, a testament to the fierce rivalry between UST and UE. Notable players at the emergence of this rivalry were Goldies' forward Danilo Florencio and Warriors' Robert Jaworski.[18]

The last playoff meeting between the teams was a deciding semifinal game in the 69th season of UAAP in 2006, with UE holding a twice-to-beat advantage. Tigers won the game with 1-point lead and have sealed their bid to face Ateneo in the Finals.[19]

FEU Tamaraws

The rivalry between UST and the FEU Tamaraws began during the league's inauguration in 1938 when FEU defeated the Glowing Goldies for the first UAAP basketball title. Together with the UP Parrots, the three teams were declared co-champions the following year.

UST and FEU met again in a controversial championship game in 1947. The Goldies were leading towards the end of regulation when a power outage struck the Rizal Memorial Coliseum, forcing play to stop. Tournament organizers decided to award the title to both teams as co-champions when power had not resumed after an hour.

FEU won over UST in 1950 and the Goldies exacted revenge on the Tamaraws the following year with coach Herr Silva's peculiar strategy of dribbling the ball until time ran out. UST preserved their lead over FEU and went on to win the championship on a 43–34 score.[20]

The Glowing Goldies team of Aric del Rosario, Hector Hipolito, Rene Hawkins, Manuel Tan, Bobby Salonga and first year coach Caloy Loyzaga defeated the Tamaraws 2 games to 1 for the 1964 championship.[21]

The two teams met again in 1979 where FEU, while parading American student athlete Anthony Williams swept UST in a best-of-three series. The following year was not so much a championship match when the Tamaraws swept the eliminations on a 12–0 record, but UST had the final task of preventing a sweep on the final game of Season 43's second round of eliminations. The Goldies lost by a single point, 71–72 and ended up as runners-up to FEU.[22]

Their last championship game was in 2015 with FEU winning the best-of-three series, 2–1.[23]

The Tamaraws have the most titles won in men's basketball with 20, while UST is tied with the UE Red Warriors at second with 18 championships.

Controversies

In the early part of the 2016, the Growling Tigers management investigated UST head coach Bong dela Cruz for the alleged involvement in game-fixing. A report from sports news website Fastbreak states from a source that the management disbanded the men's basketball team due to game-fixing and sell-out games allegations.[74]

Another report from Spin.ph notes that Dela Cruz accused for maltreatment and abusive incidents against some of the players, particularly players from Team B, during his two-year term as a coach. Sooner, the media has yet to confirm the statement regarding the issue on Dela Cruz.[75]

Dela Cruz, later in a statement released on February 1, 2016 said that since the issues emerged, he decided to keep quiet about it. He denies the allegations against him and is confident that he will be proven innocent of the issues against him.[76]

In 2017–2018 season, two players named Mario Bonleon and Renzo Subido decided not to play with UST under Sablan for different reasons, the team standing of the senior's basketball is one of the worst in the history of the UST Growling Tigers at 1 win and 13 losses. Because of that standing, Sablan and the entire coaching staff were sacked by no other than the Rector of the UST effective November 30, 2017, terminating their contracts which will be expiring in August 2018. UST Tigresses Assistant Coach Arsenio Dysangco Jr. was appointed as overseer during practices.
