The 2013–14 Pacific Tigers men's basketball team represented the University of the Pacific during the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They play their home games at the Alex G. Spanos Center. This was season of new beginnings for the Tigers. Gone after 25 seasons was long-time head coach Bob Thomason. The new head coach of the Tigers was former assistant Ron Verlin. Verlin arrived with much experience. Verlin had been the associate head coach for the Tigers for 19 seasons under Thomason. Verlin becomes the 20th head coach in the history of Tiger basketball.
In addition to the new coach, Pacific joined a new conference, the West Coast Conference. Pacific was one of the founders of what became the WCC. Now, after four decades, the Tigers returned allowing the WCC to return to a travel partner scenario. Pacific and Saint Mary's became travel partners. The other four sets of travel partners were San Francisco and Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine, Gonzaga and Portland, and BYU and San Diego.
The Tigers finished the season 18–16, 6–12 in WCC play to finish in a tie for eighth place. They lost in the first round of the WCC tournament to Santa Clara. They were invited to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament where they defeated Grand Canyon, Texas A&M Corpus–Christi and fellow WCC member San Diego to advance to the semifinals where they lost to Murray State.
