1994 TAAC men's basketball tournament
Introduction


The **1994 Trans America Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament** (now known as the [ASUN men's basketball tournament](/wiki/ASUN_men%27s_basketball_tournament "ASUN men's basketball tournament")) was held March 3–5 at the [UCF Arena](/wiki/The_Venue_at_UCF "The Venue at UCF") in [Orlando, Florida](/wiki/Orlando%2C_Florida "Orlando, Florida"). This was the first tournament since 1992 after not being held in 1993\.

Hosts  defeated  in the championship game, 70–67, to win their first TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament. The Golden Knights, therefore, received the TAAC's automatic bid to the [1994 NCAA tournament](/wiki/1994_NCAA_Men%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Tournament "1994 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament"), their first Division I tournament appearance (College of Charleston also participated, receiving an at\-large bid).

Since the 1992 tournament, one program had departed the TAAC ([Georgia Southern](/wiki/Georgia_Southern_Eagles_men%27s_basketball "Georgia Southern Eagles men's basketball"), who left for the [SoCon](/wiki/Southern_Conference "Southern Conference")) and three new programs were added ([Central Florida](/wiki/UCF_Knights_men%27s_basketball "UCF Knights men's basketball") in 1993, [College of Charleston](/wiki/College_of_Charleston_Cougars_men%27s_basketball "College of Charleston Cougars men's basketball") and [Florida Atlantic](/wiki/Florida_Atlantic_Owls_men%27s_basketball "Florida Atlantic Owls men's basketball") in 1994\), leaving total conference membership at ten teams. However, the two newcomers (College of Charleston and FAU) did not participate in this tournament.
