The Tigers lost by a 25-point blowout against the FEU Tamaraws in a game played behind closed doors to start their season. The UAAP had earlier decided to hold the first four playing schedules under a bubble setup in observance of COVID-19 safety precautions. The Mall of Asia Arena opened its doors to the public on April 5 where 4,225 fans and students had come to cheer for their college teams for the first time since 2019. The MOA Arena's seating capacity is at 14,000, but the patron section remained closed as it was being used by the league as their bubble zone.[1][2][3]
Roster
UST has listed Ivan Lazarte, Rafael Pangilinan, Rafael Biag, and Patrick Javier on their reserve list, where any of the four players can be activated to replace players who would test positive for COVID-19.[4][5]

Roster changes
13 out of the 16 players from the 2019 UAAP runner-up team have departed. Renzo Subido, Zach Huang, and Enric Caunan have already graduated, while the majority went on to transfer to rival colleges at the height of the school's training bubble controversy. UAAP Season 82 Most Valuable Player Soulémane Chabi Yo forewent his final playing year in the collegiate ranks to play in the Liga EBA in Spain. The extended lockdowns and the cancellation of UAAP Season 83, despite the league's extension of eligibility of players caused the Beninese center's exit from the team.[6][7]
