2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament

Edition of USA college basketball tournament August 2023 March 2026 2014 2014 NCAA Men's Final Four logo.svg 68 AT&T Stadium Arlington, Texas UConn Huskies 4th 4th 5th Kentucky Wildcats 12th 16th Florida Gators 5th Wisconsin Badgers 3rd Kevin Ollie 1st Shabazz Napier UConn The 2014 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament involved 68 teams playing in a single-elimination tournament that determined the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men's basketball national champion for the 2013-14 season. The 76th annual edition of the tournament began on March 18, 2014, and concluded with the championship game on April 7, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The East Regional semifinals and final were held in Madison Square Garden, the first time that arena has been used as an NCAA Tournament venue and the first time in 63 years that tournament games have been held in New York City. The Final Four consisted of Florida (the #1 overall seed of the tournament), making their first appearance since winning their second consecutive championship in 2007, UConn, returning after winning their 2011 national championship, Wisconsin, making their first appearance since 2000, and Kentucky, back in the Final Four after winning their 2012 national championship. With No. 7 seed UConn and No. 8 seed Kentucky reaching the championship game, this tournament's final was the first ever not to include at least one team seeded 1–3. It was also only the third final not to feature a 1 or 2 seed (1989 #3 Michigan vs. #3 Seton Hall and 2011 #3 UConn vs. #8 Butler) and is the fourth ever (2023 #4 UConn vs #5 San Diego State). UConn defeated Kentucky in the championship game 60–54, to claim their 4th national championship as in many attempts. UConn was also the first 7 seed ever to reach and win the championship game. The two teams combined for the highest seed total in championship game history with 15. The previous record (11) was held by UConn and Butler in 2011. The next day, the UConn Huskies women's team won the women's NCAA basketball tournament, only the second time that a school has won both the men's and women's Division I national basketball championships in the same year; UConn first accomplished this in 2004.https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/2014/story/_/id/10753064/connecticut-huskies-welcome-home-men-champions-celebrate-women-title Party continues with title sweep ESPN Associated Press April 9, 2014 This was the first men's final four with a region as host instead of a city. Tournament procedure NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship#Current tournament format For 2014 the selection committee picked a total of 68 teams that would enter the 2014 tournament, of which 32 were "automatic bids" (teams winning their conference tournaments, with the exception of the Ivy League, which does not host a post-season conference tournament; thus, its regular-season conference champion is awarded the automatic bid) while the remaining 36 were "at large" bids which were extended by the NCAA Selection Committee on the Sunday preceding the First Four play-in tournament and dubbed Selection Sunday by the media and fans. The Selection Committee also seeded the entire field from 1 to 68.http://www.marchmadness2014.net/betting-system-a-few-simple-tips-for-betting-on-the-ncaa-tournament/ 運営者情報 - 一押し、旬！ドキ www.marchmadness2014.net 2014-03-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20140319041015/http://www.marchmadness2014.net/betting-system-a-few-simple-tips-for-betting-on-the-ncaa-tournament/ 2014-03-19 dead Eight teams – the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams – played in the First Four (the successor to what had been popularly known as "play-in games" through the 2010 tournament).
