# 2013–14 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team

The 2013–14 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team represented Gonzaga University in the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team played its home games at the McCarthey Athletic Center, which has a capacity of 6,000. The Bulldogs (also informally referred to as the Zags) were in their 34th season as a member of the West Coast Conference, and were led by head coach Mark Few, who is in his 15th season as head coach. They finished the season 29–7, 15–3 in WCC play to be WCC regular season champions. They were also champions of the WCC tournament to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, they defeated Oklahoma State in the second round before losing in the third round to Arizona.

## Preseason

In 2013–14, the Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team is in its 34th season as a member of the West Coast Conference. Since 2004, the team has played their home games at the McCarthey Athletic Center, which has a capacity of 6,000. In their previous season, a West Coast Conference Preseason Poll predicted that the Bulldogs would finish atop of the conference. The Zags finished in first place in the West Coast Conference Standings with a 16–0 conference record. The Bulldogs beat Saint Mary's in the West Coast Conference tournament, and captured their first number one ranking in school history. The team drew its first number one seed in school history in the 2013 NCAA tournament, where they lost to ninth-seed Wichita State in the third round, 76–70, and finished with a record of 32–3.
During the 2013 off-season, former Zags player Adam Morrison returned to the school, apparently deciding to end an injury-riddled professional career, and was added to Mark Few's staff as a student assistant.
