The 2019 Conference USA men's basketball tournament was the concluding event of the 2018–19 Conference USA (C-USA) men's basketball season. It was held from March 13–16, 2019 alongside the C-USA women's tournament in Frisco, Texas, at the Ford Center at The Star.[1] In the first round and quarterfinals, two games were played simultaneously within the same arena, with the courts separated by a curtain.[2] Old Dominion defeated Western Kentucky 62–56 in the championship game to win the tournament, and received the conference's automatic bid to the 2019 NCAA tournament.[3] It was their first Conference USA title since joining the conference six years ago.
