Season 53: De La Salle repeats as UAAP champions

In the 1990 UAAP Seniors basketball tournament, De La Salle Green Archers actually swept the competition and would have won the title outright via 14-0 sweep, but the UAAP board forfeited three of its victories due to the ineligibility of archer Noli Locsin. As a result, La Salle needed one more win over their finals opponent UE Warriors to clinch the title and repeated as back-to-back champions.

Magnolia's last two titles in 1990

The 1990 National Open championships drew only seven teams. Magnolia continued its mastery over Sta.Lucia Realtors, whom they beat 3 times in the last five PABL finals series.

Magnolia won the PBL first conference of the 1990 season, which turn out to be the last time they won under the name of Magnolia. The team did win a PBL title under the banner of Instafood Mealmasters in 1994.
