The UAAP Season 50 basketball tournaments involved 23 teams from the eight member schools that played two rounds of elimination games in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) in the 1987–88 school year. Ateneo de Manila University was the host school for the second time since joining the league in 1978.
The UP Fighting Maroons and the Adamson Lady Falcons were the defending men's and women's champions, while the Ateneo Blue Eaglets have been the juniors' champions since Season 46 (1983).
The games of the senior men's division began on July 18, 1987, while the women's and juniors' games began on July 19. The venue for the opening ceremonies was changed from the Araneta Coliseum to Rizal Memorial Coliseum due to its unavailability, with the ongoing Grand Circus Internationale which opened on July 2.[1]
A special award was given to Professor Candido Bartolome of the University of the Philippines, being the last surviving founder of the UAAP on its 50th anniversary. Fr. Raymond Holscher, Ateneo's athletic director declared the games open.[2]
The Ateneo Blue Eagles defeated the UE Red Warriors in the Finals to take their first UAAP men's basketball championship after transferring from the NCAA in 1978.
The NU Bulldogs ended their six-year losing streak when they defeated the Adamson Falcons and the UP Fighting Maroons for a 2–12 win-loss record.[3][4]
