UCF defeated top-seeded 2004 Gardner–Webb Running Bulldogs Gardner–Webb in the championship game, 63–54, to win their fourth (and second consecutive) Atlantic Sun/TAAC men's basketball tournament.
The Golden Knights, therefore, received the Atlantic Sun's automatic bid to the 2005 NCAA tournament.
Format
With the Atlantic Sun's membership remaining stable at eleven teams, no changes were made to the tournament format. As such, only the top eight teams from the conference tournament were eligible for the tournament. These eight teams were seeded based on regular season conference records and were all entered into the quarterfinal round.
