† 1982 Sun Belt Conference tournament winner Rankings from AP Poll |
In a rematch of the previous two finals (both won by the Rams), UAB topped VCU in the championship game, 94–83, to win their first Sun Belt men's basketball tournament.
The Blazers, in turn, received an automatic bid for the 1982 NCAA tournament, where they advanced to the Elite Eight (UAB defeated Indiana in the Second Round and Virginia in the Sweet Sixteen before ultimately losing to Louisville).
