The 2017-18 Atlantic 10 Conference men's basketball season was the 42nd season of Atlantic 10 Conference basketball. The season began with practices in October 2017, followed by the start of the 2017-18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in November. League play began in late December and ended on March 3, 2018. With a win over La Salle on February 20, 2018, Rhode Island clinched at least a share of the A-10 regular season championship, their first title since 1981. Three days later, the Rams clinched an outright A-10 title for the first time in school history. The 2018 A-10 Tournament was held at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. from March 7 through 11, 2018. Davidson defeated Rhode Island in the championship game to win the tournament and receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Davidson, Rhode Island, and St. Bonaventure were invited to the NCAA Tournament. The schools went a combined 2-3 in tournament play.
