† 2014 West Coast Conference Tournament winner

The 2013–14 West Coast Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2013 and ended with the 2014 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament at the Orleans Arena March 6–11, 2014 in Las Vegas. The regular season began in November, with the conference schedule starting at the end of December.

This was the 63rd season for the conference, and the 25th under its current name as "West Coast Conference". The conference began as the California Basketball Association in 1952, became the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956, and dropped the word "Athletic" in 1989. The conference went through significant changes this season, adding a new member for the second time in three seasons and bringing the WCC to 10 members. Original conference founder, and a fellow faith-based, private school Pacific, rejoined the conference[1] from the Big West.
