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.
