2017–18 Eastern Illinois Panthers men's basketball
The Panthers, led by head coach Jay Spoonhour, competed in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) and played home games at Lantz Arena in Charleston, Illinois. They finished 12–19 overall and 7–11 in the OVC, placing eighth. In the OVC tournament, they beat Tennessee State in the first round but lost to Austin Peay in the quarterfinals.
That season the OVC eliminated divisions and moved to an 18-game conference schedule. A preseason poll had Eastern Illinois projected to finish sixth in the conference.
Previous season (2016–17): 14–15 overall, 6–10 in the OVC, fifth in the West Division; did not qualify for the OVC tournament.
