Beginnings at NCRAA CSB applied to join the NCAA as early as 1991; several
student organizations opposed CSB's entry to the NCAA. They had participated in the
National Capital Region Athletic Association (NCRAA) as early as 1994. On March 1998, the NCAA announced the entry of CSB, with a probationary period of three years.
Champions under probation Two years later, they won the championship vs. the
San Sebastian Stags, while under probation. The Blazers won just days after their brother team
De La Salle Green Archers won the UAAP championship. The Blazers, under the leadership of players such as
Mark Magsumbol and
Sunday Salvacion developed a rivalry with the Stags, whom they met again the Finals
two years later; this time, the Stags won.
Dong Vergeire coached the Blazers during this time.
Playoff drought After this run of qualifying to the playoffs, the Blazers have not made it to this stage of the tournament since.
Gee Abanilla and
Richard del Rosario next coached the team for the next four years, with the team missing the playoffs on all instances, with Del Rosario resigning in 2012. With new coach
Gabby Velasco, the Blazers avoided last place in 2013, then narrowly missed the playoffs in 2014. The next year, the Blazers endured a 17-game losing streak, only to win on their last game, finishing last. Velasco resigned and was replaced by
TY Tang. Tang led the Blazers to fifth place finishes in his second and third year of coaching the team, but migrated to Canada during the
COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the Blazers appointed
Charles Tiu to coach the team. In his first year in
NCAA Season 97 would be closest they've gotten to make it to the playoffs where they finished fourth after the elimination round, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, each team met the other teams only once, and a play-in tournament was done in lieu of the second round. It was in the play-in tournament where the Blazers were eliminated.
Consecutive playoff appearances Tiu still coached the team on the
next season. The Blazers ended the elimination round at the #1 seed. The Blazers qualified to its first Finals appearance in 20 years, defeating the
San Beda Red Lions in the semifinals. The Blazers lost in the Finals to the three-peat seeking
Letran Knights, though.
Will Gozum was named season MVP. In
NCAA Season 99, the Blazers finished 4th in the standings for their first consecutive stints in the Final Four since seasons 76 and 77 after posting an 11-7 record. They lost to the top seeded
Mapúa Cardinals 78-67 but won the inaugural battle for third place game against the
Lyceum Pirates 93-83. In the
NCAA's centennial season, CSB finished second after the elimination round. The Blazers made it to the finals, but were defeated by the Cardinals. ==Current roster==
