Final UAAP Season 72 elimination round standings

Throw those tiebreaks out of the window, at least for the Final Four teams since you won't need them; as for the bottom four teams, the tiebreaking quirk eliminates La Salle from post-tournament action (they don't usually participate anyway, unless tickets to Belgrade are involved.) and instead brings Adamson to a deserving #5 spot.

Team (Rank)	W	L	PCT	GB	Tie
Ateneo (1)	13	1	.929	--
FEU (2)	11	3	.786	2
UE (3)	10	4	.714	3
UST (4)	6	8	.429	7
Adamson (5)	5	9	.357	8	+5
La Salle (6)	5	9	.357	8	−5
NU (7)	3	11	.214	10	+4
UP (8)	3	11	.214	10	−4

Tiebreaking procedure:
Teams are tied by basis of the point differential on the results of the games between the tied teams.

The Adamson–La Salle tie was resolved with Adamson with a +5 point differential. La Salle beat Adamson 64–63 in overtime in the first round, but Adamson beat them with a bigger margin, 61–55, in the second round.

The NU–UP tie was resolved with NU with a +8 point differential. NU beat Adamson 74–64 in the first round, but UP beat them with a lesser margin, 78–76, in the second round.

Interestingly, this is the first time in UAAP men's basketball that a team qualified to the Final Four with a losing record.
