The 1981 ECAC South Men's Basketball Tournament (now known as the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Tournament) was held March 5–7 at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia.[1]

James Madison defeated Richmond in the championship game, 69–60, to win their first ECAC South men's basketball tournament. The Dukes, therefore, earned an automatic bid to the 1981 NCAA Tournament; this was JMU's first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament.
