UAAP-JBL Three-Point Contest
The UAAP Three-Point Contest, or the UAAP-JBL Three-Point Contest for sponsorship reasons, is the inaugural three-point competition of the UAAP in the basketball discipline. The contest served as a transition event from the first round going to the second round of eliminations. All eight universities fielded representative shooters to compete for the chance to clinch ₱80,000 and JBL products for the winner, and another ₱50,000 will be given to the winning university. In the end of the competition, the older brother of Adrian Wong, Dan Angelo Wong, claimed the inaugural title for the said competition.[21]
Competition Format
In the first round, all eight participants will get a chance to shoot as many three-pointers as they can within the time limit of one (1) minute. In each rack, the first four balls were regular balls, which is worth only one point, and the fifth and the last ball is the moneyball, which is worth two points. After the first round, only the top two (2) players would advance the final round, competing for the championship.

Women's tournament
The NU Lady Bulldogs won their 64th straight match after clinching their four-peat championship against the UE Lady Warriors on December 3, 2017.[22]
NU's Ria Nabalan recorded a triple-double in their second round win over the FEU Lady Tamaraws on October 18, 2017. Nabalan tallied 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Lady Bulldogs to their 56th consecutive win that dates back to Season 77.[23]
For the first time in 49 years, the UE Lady Warriors advanced to the Finals after defeating the UST Tigresses in the second round of the Stepladder semifinals to face the undefeated NU Lady Bulldogs. A punch thrown by UST's Sai Larosa at Love Sto. Domingo ignited a bench-clearing brawl among the players of the two teams.[24] Larosa was disqualified from inclusion to the Mythical team following her ejection and subsequent suspension.
The UE Lady Warriors held the Adamson Lady Falcons to a scoreless 2nd quarter in their 62-44 win on October 1, 2017.[25]
