The 2017 basketball tournaments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, otherwise known as the NCAA Season 93, which started on July 8, 2017 at Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.[1] Same as the last year's opener, the defending champions San Beda Red Lions will open their title defense bid as they will battle the season's hosts San Sebastian Stags at the first game, and at the second game the Arellano Chiefs will open their first season without Jiovani Jalalon as they take on the Mapúa Cardinals.[2]
ABS-CBN Sports and Action will be covering the games for the third consecutive year.
Format
- In the seniors and juniors' tournament, ten (10) teams will play in a double round-robin classification.
- Once teams are tied, tie-breaker games shall be held for either the first, second or the fourth seed if necessary.
- The scenarios after the elimination round ends are the following below:
- 1. If no team sweeps the elimination round, the regular play-offs (Final Four) shall be used.
- 2. If a team successfully sweep the elimination round, that team will gain an automatic bye to the finals and the stepladder play-offs shall be used.
- In the semifinals, the first and second seed shall earn a twice-to-beat bonus against their respective opponents. These teams shall only need to win once to advance to the finals; while the third and fourth seed teams will need to win twice to advance to the finals.
- The finals is a best-of-three championship series.

All-Star Game
The Games of the NCAA All-Star were held last September 1 at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan City. The event served as a transition event from the first round going into the second round. The Team Saints, composed of stars from Perpetual Help, San Beda, Letran, Benilde, and the season hosts, San Sebastian, defeated The Team Heroes, consisting of Arellano, Lyceum, Jose Rizal University, Emilio Aguinaldo College, and Mapua; 84–80. Prince Eze was named as the All-Star MVP who went double-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks.[4]

Controversies
Wrong uniform
On July 11, 2017, The Altas were clad in maroon when they were scheduled to be donning their light uniforms. Hence, the league ruled that the University of Perpetual Help was ineligible to play in its matchup against the Blazers earlier in the day. Citing the rule which states, “any athlete whose playing uniform does not conform with the rules will be ineligible to participate in a given game/match”, the management committee overturned UPHSD's 69-65 win in favor of the Blazers.[5]
