2018 Big South tournament winner

The 2017–18 UNC Asheville Bulldogs men's basketball team represented the University of North Carolina at Asheville during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bulldogs, led by fifth-year head coach Nick McDevitt, played their home games at Kimmel Arena as members of the Big South Conference. They finished the season 21–13, 13–5 in Big South play to win the Big South regular season championship. They defeated Charleston Southern in the quarterfinals of the Big South tournament before being upset in the semifinals by Liberty. As a regular season conference champion who failed to win their conference tournament, they received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament where they lost in the first round to USC.

On March 24, 2018, head coach Nick McDevitt accepted the head coaching job at Middle Tennessee. He finished at UNC Asheville with a five-year record of 98–65.
