The 1999 Trans America Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament (now known as the Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament) was held February 25–27 at the Jacksonville Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida.[1]
Top-seeded Samford defeated UCF in the championship game, 89–61, to win their first TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament.
The Bulldogs, therefore, received the TAAC's automatic bid to the 1999 NCAA tournament, their first Division I tournament appearance.
