Led by head coach Jay Wright in his 14th season, the Wildcats participated as members of the Big East Conference and played their home games at The Pavilion, with some select home games at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

They defeated Marquette, Providence, and Xavier to win the Big East tournament.

As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No.

In the 2014 Big East tournament, the Wildcats were upset by Seton Hall, 64–63 in the quarterfinals.
