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.
Format
For conference scheduling, the 12 teams in the TAAC were separated into two six-team divisions. However, only the top eight teams in the standings, regardless of division, were invited to participate in the tournament. However, transitioning members Florida Atlantic, Jacksonville State, and Troy State were not eligible.
