Baloria scored only six points in the game, to see the Altas lose by 19 points to be eliminated.[2] Baloria was named 2013 NCAA Rookie of the Year after finishing 11th in statistical points.[3] After the 2013 NCAA season, Baloria suited up for the Big Chill Super Chargers PBA D-League team, scoring 22 points on his debut game.[4] In the 2013 Philippine Collegiate Championship, the Altas were eliminated by the NU Bulldogs in the Sweet 16 round, with Baloria scoring 24 points; Baloria could've sent the game into overtime but his shot missed the rim completely.[5]

As part of the warm-ups for the NCAA Season 90 basketball tournaments, the Altas participated in the 2014 Filoil Flying V Preseason Hanes Cup. Baloria scored 43 points in a win against the De La Salle Green Archers, but were still eliminated from playoff contention.[6] The Altas wounded up fourth after the elimination round of the 2014 NCAA season to face the San Beda Red Lions in the semifinals, but they lost against them for the second consecutive year, with Baloria scoring 20 points in the semifinal.[7]
