Banking on last year’s success, NCAA gears up for a bigger season with San Sebastian College-Recoletos as host in Season 93.
And for all the innovations on hand, there will still be some constants.
For one, the gamedays for the seniors’ basketball tournament will remain on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with double-headers and triple-headers peppered through the week.
Arturo “Bai” Cristobal will also return to his role as the commissioner, replacing Andy Jao.
Like with the seniors’ basketball, all of the elimination games for the women’s volleyball matches will also be televised for the first time through media partner ABS-CBN Sports + Action.
“This season will be more exciting for we will reignite the passion of the NCAA,” said incoming NCAA president Rev. Fr. Nemesio Tolentin, OAR.
NCAA Management Committee chairman Rev. Fr. Glynn Ortega, OAR also shared that this year will be the start of the buildup for the league’s centennial season on 2024.
“The board has decided to start this year in setting the mood for the celebration of the NCAA’s 100 years,” he said.
