Coming to the 85th Season of the NCAA, Aquino was a nobody. But suddenly, the San Sebastian Stags made a blistering 15-0 start. Aquino led his team and the league in scoring with an average of 21 points per game. He was a top MVP candidate but lost it due to a flagrant foul he committed. He helped the stags dethrone 3-peat champions the San Beda Red Lions.
He won the Finals Most Valuable Player award for his great performance. He also helped the NCAA beat rival league UAAP in the All-Star game, and was awarded All-Star MVP edging NCAA MVP John "Bad Boy" Wilson.
