    • The EAC Generals basketball program represents Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) in men's basketball as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) (NCAA). The EAC Generals joined the NCAA in 2009, having been a fixture in the National Capital Region Athletic Association (NCRAA) and Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (UCAA).


    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.
    Andy de Guzman coached the team in 2016 to a last-place finish. EAC-IAC Brigadiers (their juniors team) coach Ariel Sison then replaced de Guzman. In the 2017 season, the Generals, led by Sidney Onwubere, finished with a 7–11 record. After finishing with a 4–14 record in 2018, Sison was replaced by Oliver Bunyi. The Generals equaled their previous season record, but had notable wins against playoff teams Lyceum and San Sebastian. Bunyi bid farewell to the Generals after their 63-62 overtime triumph over Arellano University to close out their NCAA Season 98 Seniors Basketball campaign.
    As of January 25, 2023, Jerson Allen Cabiltes has been tapped as the new head coach of the Generals. The Generals were eliminated from the playoffs in Cabiltes' first season in charge.
