The 1990 UST Glowing Goldies men's basketball team represented University of Santo Tomas in the 53rd season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The men's basketball tournament for the school year 1990–91 began on July 28, 1990, and the host school for the season was the University of the East.^[1]

The Goldies who had undergone a rebuilding phase in the summer won eight games against six losses for a tie with the FEU Tamaraws at fourth place in the standings at the end of the double round-robin eliminations. They led the league with an immaculate 8–0 record before crashing out with a six-game losing streak at the end of the season.^[2]^[3]^[4]
