2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament qualifying teams

This is a list of qualifying teams for the 2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. A total of 68 teams entered the tournament. Thirty-one of the teams earned automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, an increase of one from the prior season due to the split of the original Big East into the new Big East and the American Athletic Conference. The automatic bid of the Ivy League, which did not conduct a postseason tournament, went to its regular season champion. The remaining 36 teams were granted at-large bids, which were extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. All teams were seeded 1 to 16 within their regionals, while the Selection Committee seeded the entire field from 1 to 68.[1]
