History

La Salle was a pre-war confounding member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[2][3] In 1980, La Salle withdrew from competing in the NCAA after a violent game with the Letran Knights.[4] In 1986, La Salle joined the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).[5]

La Salle has five NCAA basketball titles – 1939, 1947, 1956, 1971, and 1974. The Green Archers won the coveted National Seniors Open Championship, a league participated by top commercial and college teams, twice in 1939 and 1949.[6][7] After bolting out of the NCAA in 1981, it participated in various tournaments. The Green Archers won the 1983 PABL Championship and 1983 National Open title.[8] La Salle has won three inter-collegiate titles. The school won the 1988 Philippine Intercollegiate Championship. This was later reformatted to become the Collegiate Champions League (CCL), which then became the current Philippine Collegiate Championship League (PCCL) with La Salle winning the championship in 2008 and 2013.[9][10]

The Green Archers have won 10 UAAP basketball titles – 1989, 1990, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2013, 2016, and 2023. La Salle's basketball program is known for having won four straight UAAP championship titles from 1998 to 2001.[11] The Green Archers are also known for sharing a rivalry with other competitive teams in the UAAP, especially with the Ateneo Blue Eagles, UST Growling Tigers, and FEU Tamaraws.[12] The most recent championship is the 2023 UAAP Season 86 title, where La Salle defeated UP during the best-of-three series, having lost Game 1 but came back and won Games 2 & 3.[13][14][15]

Prior to the start of the UAAP season, the Green Archers participate in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup where they have won four titles, the latest being the 2016 championship.[16][17][18] The Green Archers participated in the Buddha Light International Association (BLIA) Cup, where they last won the championship in 2017.[19][20] The Green Archers have also participated in the PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup as EcoOil-La Salle, where they won their first title in 2022.[21][22] They retained the title the following year.[23][24]
