The 1999 UST Growling Tigers men's basketball team represented University of Santo Tomas in the 62nd season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The men's basketball tournament for the school year 1999–2000 began on July 10, 1999, and the host school for the season was the University of the Philippines.[1]
The Tigers made it back to the Finals for the first time since winning the championship in 1996 after finishing the double round-robin eliminations at joint first place with the De La Salle Green Archers with 11 wins against 3 losses. UST went undefeated in their first ten games for their best start since the 1994 season, when they compiled a 17–0 record that stretched back from their undefeated 1993 campaign. Their ten-game winning streak was snapped by the UE Red Warriors in the second round of eliminations after the Warriors converted a three-point basket to break their 71–all tie in the dying seconds of the game.[2]
Their second-round game against the Ateneo Blue Eagles at the Cuneta Astrodome was marred by a melee after the referees failed to control the players' physicality, prompting game officials to reset the remaining last quarter a week later. The game was played behind closed doors at the Lyceum Gym, where the Tigers lost, 60–63.[3][4]
The Tigers lost the playoff for the #1 seed, even as the Green Archers missed the services of Don Allado and Dino Aldeguer, who both got stranded in traffic on their way to the game venue. UST met the third-seeded Blue Eagles in the Final Four and won, 75–74.[5][6]
The best-of-three Finals series was extended to a third and deciding game with the Tigers winning Game 1, after the Archers' Aldeguer missed his three-point shot to preserve UST's 62–60 lead; and with La Salle taking Game 2 as the Archers' Mac Cuan towed his team to an 81–74 win with his clutch free throws. Game 3 went into overtime with La Salle winning, 78–75.[5]
Third-year forward Marvin Ortiguerra was selected to the Mythical team at the tournament's presentation of awards.[7]
