Rankings from AP poll[1]

The 1998 Trans America Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament (now known as the ASUN men's basketball tournament) was held February 26–28 at the John Kresse Arena at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina.[2]

In a rematch of the 1997 title match, College of Charleston again defeated Florida International in the championship game, 72–63, to win their second TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament.

The Cougars, therefore, received the TAAC's automatic bid to the 1998 NCAA tournament.
