# NCAA Season 99 basketball tournaments

The NCAA Season 99 basketball tournaments were the basketball tournaments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) for its 2023–24 season. The tournament was hosted by José Rizal University. There were two tournaments, the men's tournament for male college students, and the juniors' tournament for male senior high school students.
In the men's tournament, the Mapúa Cardinals finished first in the elimination round for the first time in the Final Four era. The Cardinals then defeated last season's finalists Benilde Blazers in the semifinals. The Lyceum Pirates finished second, but lost all two semifinals games to the San Beda Red Lions. The Blazers then defeated Lyceum in the first third place playoff in NCAA history. In the finals, the Red Lions denied the Cardinals their first title since 1991 to win their 23rd title.
In the juniors' tournament, the Perpetual Junior Altas finished first in the elimination round for the first time in school history. In the semifinals, the Junior Altas defeated the Malayan Red Robins to qualify to the finals for the first time, while the defending champions Letran Squires eliminated the San Sebastian Staglets. The Red Robins then defeated San Sebastian in the third place playoff. In the finals, the Squires defeated the Junior Altas to win their second consecutive title.
In the inaugural kiddies' tournament, the Arellano Braves defeated the San Beda Red Cubs in the final; both teams ended the elimination round tied for first.

### Discipline

The following were suspended throughout the course of the season:
* Will Gozum of the Benilde Blazers for being ejected against the Letran Knights in Game 3 of the Season 98 finals. Served one-game suspension on their first game of Season 99 against the Lyceum Pirates.
* Jielo Razon of the Perpetual Altas for being called for an unsportsmanlike foul against the San Sebastian Stags on their last game of Season 98. Served one-game suspension on their first game of Season 99 against the EAC Generals.
* Three referees of the first round game between JRU and Benilde were suspended for two weeks due to "failure to execute sound judgement, inefficient use of the Instant Replay System review, as well as for ceasing to assert themselves as game officials". JL delos Santos was supposed to be suspended due to an unsportsmanlike foul on this game, but commissioner Tonichi Pujante reversed the unsportsmanlike foul (and the suspension that goes with it) against the former as his elbow "did not connect" with Benilde's Mark Sangco.
* Shawn Umali of the Lyceum Pirates for being ejected against the San Beda Red Lions. Served one game suspension against the EAC Generals.
* Coach Yuri Escueta of the San Beda Red Lions for being ejected against the Lyceum Pirates. Served one game suspension against the JRU Heavy Bombers. Andre Santos coached San Beda against JRU on an interim basis.
* Coach Louie Gonzalez of the JRU Heavy Bombers for being ejected against the Benilde Blazers. Served one game suspension against the Letran Knights. Alex Callueng coached JRU against Letran on an interim basis.
