At Season 79, Mbala made his UAAP debut for De La Salle, and led the team to an 8–0 record halfway through the tournament and was the favorite to become the first foreigner to win the MVP Award since Anthony Williams of the FEU Tamaraws bagging the award in 1981 and he is the first Lasallian to win the MVP award since Don Allado who last won the said award in 1999.

He was also the MVP in Season 80 despite De La Salle losing to Ateneo in the finals.

1995

Benoit Mbala (born July 13, 1995) is a Cameroonian professional basketball player for OGM Ormanspor of the TBL.

He played college basketball in the Philippines, playing for the SWU Cobras of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) and the De La Salle Green Archers of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).

Mbala is a native of Yaoundé, Cameroon.

He was first into football until the age of 13 when he grew about 6 feet 2 inches tall and switched to playing basketball.

His older brother who manages the junior team of their municipality urged him to play for the team.

He attended Institute Ndi Samba for his high school studies and made attempts to join his school's varsity team on his first two years.

He continued to play for his municipality's team and managed to play for his high school in his last two years of secondary education.

Mbala participated twice at an annual national basketball camp organized by Luc Mbah a Moute.

He failed in his goal of making the All-Star Selection on his first year of participation but achieved it on his second try when he was chosen as one of the top 20 players of the camp.

2011

He was further declared as one of the top five players of the Mbah a Moute's camp, which gave him the opportunity to participate in the Basketball Without Borders camp in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2011.

At the South African Basketball Without Borders camp, he won the African MVP Honors.

His feat would have enabled him to study in the United States under a scholarship but visa issues prevented him from studying there.

Moustapha Arafat, a former player of the University of the East in Manila invited Mbala to play basketball in the Philippines.

2012

He heeded to the invitation and went to study and play for the Southwestern University (SWU) Cobras of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) in 2012.

In his lone season with the Cobras, Mbala led SWU to its first CESAFI title in school history, winning over archrival University of the Visayas (UV) Green Lancers.

At the 2012 Philippine Collegiate Champions League he led the Cobras to a fourth-place finish, scoring 41 points in an upset win against the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers.

He was recruited by the De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), after Mbala led SWU to victory in a match against DLSU in a summer tournament in Manila in 2012.

2014

An additional one-year ban was imposed on him by the UAAP after he played at the Pacquiao Challenge Cup in December 2014, where he was compensated monetarily, which was against the collegiate league's rules for players serving residency which caused him not to play for his school at UAAP Season 78.

However his stint was uncertain since the UAAP board was set to discuss the "seven years out of high school" rule of the collegiate year which would have rendered him ineligible for the next season if the rule is abolished.

Two days before Mbala announced his intention to leave La Salle, Fuerza Regia already announced via Instagram that Mbala will play for them.
