† 2017 AAC Tournament winner
Rankings from AP Poll

The 2017 American Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament was the conference tournament for the American Athletic Conference during the 2016-17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. It was held March 9–12, 2017 at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Originally, the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida (host of the 2016 Tournament) was slated to host the tournament for a second consecutive year, but in November 2014, the NCAA awarded the Amway Center with first and second-round games for the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament[1] As a result, the XL Center hosted the tournament in 2017, with the tournament returning to Orlando in 2018.[2]
