The 1983 Trans America Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament (now known as the ASUN men's basketball tournament) was held March 10–12, 1983 at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Arkansas.[1]
Georgia Southern upset top-seeded in the championship game, 68–67, to win their first TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament. The Eagles, in turn, received an automatic bid to the 1983 NCAA tournament, their first Division I tournament appearance.
Northeast Louisiana departed the TAAC for the Southland Conference prior to the season and were replaced with Nicholls State.
