In July, both LJ Rose and Mikhail McLean had foot surgery. Each is expected to need three or four months to recover.

On May 28, the American Athletic Conference announced the format and opponents for the 2014–15 conference schedule. Due to an odd number of conference members and maintaining an 18-game schedule, each team will play 8 opponents twice (home and away) and the remaining 2 opponents once (1 home, 1 away). UConn (home) and Temple (away) are the two teams the Cougars play just once this season. On July 18, the team announced that it will participate in the championship pairings of the 2014 Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic, alongside Boise State, Texas Tech, and Loyola–Chicago, to be held at the Orleans Arena. Two on-campus games will precede the Las Vegas-hosted games,one of which will be South Carolina State. In August, ESPN reported that Houston would visit Harvard on November 25. The remainder of the Cougars' schedule was announced by the American Athletic Conference on August 28.
