Wendel Comboy led the Tamaraws with 11 points while Richard Escoto added five, including the putback at the 2:04 mark closed out the match.        

Also composed of Kenneth Tuffin and Michael John Casiño, FEU raced to a 10-3 lead and never looked back to rule the league's demonstration event.

The Red Warriors, starring Alvin Pasaol, Philip Manalang, Mark Maloles and Jason Varilla, tried to keep it close but to no avail.

National University bested Adamson University, 15-6, to annex the women's crown.

Composed of MVPs Afril Bernardino and Jack Danielle Animam, as well as Ria Nabalan and Annick Tiky, the 3x3 championship added another collection to the Lady Bulldogs' vast trophy vault.  

In the Final Four, UE beat NU, 19-16, with Pasaol dropping 17 points, outscoring the entire Bulldogs team.

FEU, behind Comboy's six markers, bundled out De La Salle, 15-12, to make it to the title round.

In the women's semifinals, NU scored a 10-5 decision over Ateneo to forge a championship date with Adamson University, a 15-8 winner over University of Santo Tomas.

UE and La Salle became the Group A semifinalists after finishing with identical 2-1 records in the eliminations. 

The Warriors edged Adamson, 18-16, and bounced back from a 11-13 loss to the Green Archers with a 19-17 victory over the Ateneo. 

La Salle nipped the Eagles, 10-9, and UE, 13-11, to advance before dropping a 9-11 decision to Adamson in their no-bearing match. 

In Group B, NU and FEU made it to the semis despite a three-way tie with University of the Philippines at 1-1. The tiebreaker was total points scored, with the Bulldogs (39) and the Tamaraws (29) advancing, eliminating the Fighting Maroons (27) in the process.
