The Bulldogs finished the season 3–28, 3–15 in SWAC play to finish in last place. Alabama A&M was ineligible for postseason play due to APR violations.[2][3]

On May 11, 2018, head coach Donnie Marsh resigned after just one season marking the second consecutive year the school's head coach had resigned following the season.[4] Six days later, A&M associate head coach Dylan Howard was named interim head coach of the team for the 2018–19 season.[5]
