† 2019 ASUN tournament winner

The 2018–19 North Alabama Lions men's basketball team represented the University of North Alabama during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by head coach Tony Pujol in his first season at North Alabama.^[1] The Lions played their home games at the Flowers Hall in Florence, Alabama as first-time members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

This season marked North Alabama's first of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I.^[2] As a result, the Lions were not eligible for NCAA postseason play but could participate in the ASUN tournament.^[3] They could also play in the CIT or CBI if invited.

Previous season

The Lions finished the 2017–18 season 15–13 overall, and 10–10 record in Gulf South Conference play, trying for sixth place. They lost in the first round of the Gulf South tournament, losing to West Florida. The 2017-18 season was the Lion's last season in Division II and the Gulf South Conference.
