The 2014 WAC women's basketball tournament was held on March 12–15, 2014, at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada.[1] This was the third consecutive year the WAC Tournament took place in Vegas.
Grand Canyon did not compete in the 2014 men's basketball tournament. As a D2 to D1 transitioning school, they were ineligible to compete in the NCAA tournament until the 2018 season. They could not win the conference tournament since the winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. However, Grand Canyon would be eligible to win the regular season title and was eligible to compete in the WNIT or WBI should they be invited.[2]
8 teams competed in the 2014 tournament in a traditional single-elimination style tournament, with 1 playing 8, 2 playing 7, 3 playing 6, and 4 playing 5 on Wednesday, March 12. The winners met in the semifinals on Friday, March 14. The championship aired Saturday, March 15.
