The 1913–14 NCAA men's basketball season began in December 1913, progressed through the regular season, and concluded in March 1914.

Rule changes

Baskets with open bottoms that allow the ball to fall through become mandatory. Previously, baskets had closed bottoms, requiring the pulling of a rope to release the ball after a field goal or successful free throw. The switch to open-bottomed baskets increased the tempo of play and scoring.^[1]
