Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NCAA team season Шаблон:2017–18 Atlantic Sun men's basketball standings The 2017–18 USC Upstate Spartans men's basketball team represented the University of South Carolina Upstate during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Spartans, led by first-year head coach Kyle Perry, played their home games at the G. B. Hodge Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference. Perry was initially named interim coach upon head coach Eddie Payne's retirement on October 3, 2017, due to health concerns, but had the interim tag removed on October 20 and was named full-time head coach. They finished the season 7–25, 2–12 in ASUN play to finish in last place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the ASUN tournament to Florida Gulf Coast.

After the season, USC Upstate fired Perry on March 1, less than five months after being named full time head coach of the Spartans. On March 30, the school hired former Tulane head coach Dave Dickerson for the job.

This season marked the final season for USC Upstate as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference, as the school announced on November 15, 2017, that they will be moving to the Big South Conference for the 2018–19 season.
