History
NCRAA and UCAA champions
The Generals have been champions in the NCRAA and UCAA due to the exploits of Ronjay Buenafe, seen to be as the best player in program history, having his #8 jersey retired by the team.
Entry to the NCAA
The Generals joined the NCAA in 2009 as one of the three guest teams. The Generals finished with a 6–12 record. Nomar Angeles Isla coached the Generals until 2010 when he went on to be their representative in the management committee. He was replaced by Gerry Esplana. They had their best showing in 2013 when they finished with a winning record at 10–8, but barely missed the Final Four. At the next season, the Generals finished outside the playoff places, and figured in a brawl against the Mapua Cardinals. This, coupled with internal issues with management, led to Esplana to resign.
