Basketball tournament
The NCAA Season 100 basketball tournaments are the basketball tournaments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) for its 2024–25 season . The tournament is being hosted by Lyceum of the Philippines University . The opening day was held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on September 7, 2024, while the rest of the elimination round games will be held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre .
The NCAA is expected to follow the Final Four format used since 1997.
The NCAA mulled in moving the seniors' tournament to the second semester, and the juniors' tournament to the first semester. Reasons for the move include struggles in adjusting its calendar as a 10-team league, and for a more "unified" college basketball season; the move would have also allowed the juniors' tournament to revert to a double round robin elimination round format.[ 1]
The plans did not push through, as the league opted to have the seniors' tournament in the first semester of the academic year. Unlike in the past two seasons, while men's gamedays are held five days a week, all gamedays will have doubleheaders , except for the final playing day of the first round of eliminations, which shall be a single game involving last year's finals participants.[ 2]
