The 1998 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Tournament was played from March 4 to March 7, 1998 at the CoreStates Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The winner was named champion of the Atlantic 10 Conference and received an automatic bid to the 1998 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. Xavier University won the tournament.

Background

UMass, Rhode Island, Temple, and George Washington also received bids to the NCAA Tournament. James Posey of Xavier was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Including Posey, 4 of the 5 players on the All-Championship Team were from Xavier. Joining Posey were Torraye Braggs, Lenny Brown and Darnell Williams of Xavier, and Shawnta Rogers of George Washington.
