2025 UST Growling Tigers basketball team

The 2025 UST Growling Tigers men's basketball team represented the University of Santo Tomas in the 88th season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The men's basketball tournament for the academic year 2025–26 began on September 20, 2025, and the host school for the season was also UST.

The Tigers made it to the Final Four for the second straight year after finishing the elimination rounds at third place with an 8–6 record. They, however lost once again to the second-seeded UP Fighting Maroons in the semifinals after failing to overcome their twice-to-win disadvantage and missed getting on the podium after the top-seeded NU Bulldogs were eliminated by the De La Salle Green Archers to slide down and claim second runner-up honors instead.

They had an average winning margin of 11.4 points and an average losing margin of 5.0 points. They had a 20-point, 87–67 blowout win over UP at the start of the season, which broke their six-year losing streak against them. Two of their games went into overtime, with their first-round game against the Ateneo Blue Eagles going into three extra periods for a hard-fought win, and then losing by a single point against the Adamson Soaring Falcons in the second round.

Nic Cabañero made it to the Mythical team for the second straight year and once again become the league's scoring leader for the third time, after averaging 16.8 points per game in the eliminations. Nigerian center Collins Akowe was named Rookie of the Year. He was earlier chosen Player of the Week by the Collegiate Press Corps for the duration of September 20–28, while third-year forward Gelo Crisostomo got the citation during the week of October 8–12, 2025.
