The Patriots lost to the Red Lions, 97-86 in the elimination round.
"I told my players not to waste or squander the opportunity or chance given to us to reach the championship."
Delgado also told them that since this is the first invitational league after the pandemic, they need to get this championship,
The Patriots received P50,000 while the Red Lions earned P30,000. The Agro-Industrial Foundation Colleges Sailors took third place to P20,000 while the Philippine Women's College Patriots finished fourth to get P10,000. Trophies were also awarded.
